Charity Shopping - New to You in '22!

What people think is a bargain is very subjective, so let's not argue about it. Hopefully Brie will find something perfectly suited to her for £1, but if not, will still have a great time seeing the sights.

And if I don't find a charity shop I'm sure there might be some decent beer to be had somewhere.....

Get stocked up on chocolate while you're there @Brie (if that's your thing), it's so much nicer than here!

I agree about Kilmainhain Gaol @Pollycat, it's gotta be 10 years since I was there but if I think about it I can still smell it.....

Yep, I agree, it was a goosebumpy place.

I bought a Next tunic on Tuesday, £4.00 hospice.

And yesterday these leather shoes, made in Spain, £8.00
BNWT Lazy Jacks long sweatshirt £6.00.
Fat Face dress with pockets £5.00
All from Lighthouse charity

And Jack Wolfskin hat £1.00 Mencap

Lazy Jacks seem to be a less expensive Seasalt-type brand from Devon.

Googling HB Espana shoes, similar pair (but not with part leather soles) retail around £125 - £135 but are half price in the sale.

Ooh a good haul @pollycat. I'd have all those things too. Except the hat - my hair doesn't like a hat, it goes flat and greasy in a new york minute if I put a hat on or a hood up :shrug:

New air ambulance chazza opened this week. Popped in after work and got my first item in months. A BNWT knee length checked winter skirt from Next. Not bad for £4.  Will dig out my thick winter tights to wear with it.
They had an Abercrombie and finch jacket for £4, immaculate condition but sadly way too small for me. Excellent bargain for someone.

Off to google Lazy Jack - like that top!!!

I did try and look for the Air Ambulance charity shop in Cardiff yesterday, but google was sending us all over the place and then it started to rain so I gave it a miss. I will probably get my charity shop fix one day next week at a local to me shop.:)

Yesterday was amazing weather here, like early summer! The Salvation Army had a Black Friday sale with certain garments for 25p so I picked up some blouses and sports leggings, which I shall wear under my trousers this winter for warmth.

Inspired, I finally ventured into St Vincent's on my way out of town in the late afternoon. Strange place, very jostick-y, and the prices weren't great although they do take cards.

Day out in a nearby city yesterday.
Bought:
a pair of grey M&S leggings in VGC 50p from Children's Society 
a pair of Indigo (M&S) navy dressy leggings, heavy peach skin fabric, look unworn £4.00 RSPCA

a Ashwood leather coat in unworn condition. Dark burgundy. Just above knee length on me. Bizarrely, reduced from £10.00 to £5.00. Lighthouse charity.

So... change from a tenner. 👍

Ooh @Pollycat you’re having lots of lovely leather bargains I’m v envious.

over the last week:
Mothercare Nanu buggy for  DGS weekly stay £12 has the hood, rain cover etc.
Black Lee Cooper T-shirt £2
Black Sketchers T-shirt £2
White Karrimore PE top £2
2 blue and white medium sized Cornishware style plates one with three blue stripes, the other with two £1 rack.
A Topshop denim dress with short sleeves and big patch pockets on the skirt £6. It’s quite short so I’ll wear it as a tunic over skinny jeans, leggings or thick tights.
