Charity Shopping - bargains galore for 2021!

CAFCGirl

4 plant pots for £1 each.
Another 12 books on the 4 for £1 offer. Just about made it home without losing my fingers from the weight of the bag LOL

One plant pot will be repurposed as a Christmas gift with a festive 'something' in it since its an antique gold colour and not my cup of tea....

These Russell and Bromley boots the soles of which look unworn £10. I have a leather coat the same colour bought from CS many moons ago and think they will work together.
A Gap red gilet £4
Primark black stretchy vest with wide shoulder straps. I think it’s shapewear £2
L’Occitane body moisturiser £1
Stradivarius high waist skinny jeans £4.50.
Wide grey velvet scarf no make £2

I'm looking for a fluorescent jacket to wear when cycling in the dark so that I show up nice and clearly when pedalling along, I do have various lights etc. and according to one friend look rather like an animated Christmas Tree in mid air but should really like to stand out!

@goldfinches
jacket or gillet/vest?

Not been far this week due to having to wait in for various tradespeople.....*sigh*!!

Floated past the community shop one day tho and picked up an M & S winter scarf in black and camel for 75p and in the 99p St Gemmas shop I got a nice J Crew turquoise cotton shirt.

Hi all, I've recently stumbled across this thread whilst in my sick bed and have enjoyed reading about all your fab finds!
I just love a CS and now that I'm back on fighting form thought I would post my latest finds:
John Lewis boys Christmas jumper £3
M&S boys Dinosaur PJs they look new £1.50
Fat face boys shirt £2 
Nothing for me but I do love buying bits for the family. I was tempted by a cashmere cardigan but balked at the £25 price tag!
Hoping to pop into my local town this weekend for another fix :-)

Hi there and welcome to the thread 

I might have been tempted by the cashmere cardi had it been brand spanking new but not otherwise, (my recent encounter with moths still gives me the shivers!!)

@goldfinches I’m in Buckinghamshire but at the JR every 6-8 weeks, so if I find a jacket, I could always pass it on to you then ?

@Brie - you asked whether I'd prefer a jacket or a gilet and I think the jacket is preferable because then you are more person shaped IYSWIM.
@StickyTheStickInsect - what a kind offer, thankyou. I'd better set a max. spend of £15 I think just so that you know before lashing out. Thankyou again and I hope we spot one soon.

I visited Barnardo's and Oxfam today and bought a pristine Persephone edition of Dorothy Whipple's The Priory for £3.99 which still had its lovely bookmark inside the front cover. I did look at some Craghoppers trousers but they were two sizes too big so I decided not to as there's nothing nastier than having to keep hitching up ones clothing as one walks along.

I also bought an Australian Women's Weekly little cookbook with 50 or so muffin recipes in it and a BBC Good Food Christmas made easy cookbook both for 50p each.

Our local "everything's £1" clearance shop this week turned up a plum long line jumper (bhs) - immaculate condition.  Black stretch primark trousers (still tagged), checked thick m&s leggings, blue hooded jumper all for me and a James Pringle 90% pure wool jumper and marvel t shirt for DH (t-shirt hadn't been worn, you could still feel the dressing in it) jumper was bobbly but a quick whizz over with my de-bobbler and it's looking like new. 

Oh and a wooden cat.....a whole £7 spent in there.
