Charity Shopping - New to You in '22!

Rosa_Damascena

I'm just running through the bargains I got on Saturday whilst shopping with my Mum:

• Chazzer 1: 6 books, a trinket box for 50p and a heavy decorative glass bowl with decorative (BNWT - originally £12.50) for £4. On the way out I spotted a large handbag big enough to stick my laptop in, which Mum treated me to for £3.
• Chazzer 2: 3 books, a long smart summer dress and a blouse for work for a total of £4.50.
• Chazzer 3: a heated throw / overblanket (BNWT) for £10.

^^^^All of this equated to mucho mucho happiness for just over £20.

(Then I blew a load on vino at Asda - 25% off 6+ bottles, and I bought 18 - but that is a different story).

Well done on the heated throw..surprised to hear of one being donated at this time....it's something I'm thinking about buying

I hear you on the pockets thing - why do more leggings not have pockets?? They’re so handy! 

What annoyed me a zillion years back was trying to find a wedding dress with pockets.  Did manage in the end thanks for Laura Ashley.  Am about to ask nieces if they want the dress which is still bagged up at my mom's.  Don't actually think it will fit either (one is incredibly petite and the other super fit/sporty so almost not related to me!!!) but it's that or chazza it.  Will be happy if one wants it to dye lime green for hallowe'en.

Oh how the wheel of Charity shop fortune turns:
This cream leather jacket £6
3 blue and white Sainsburys dinner plates £3
Grey sweatshirt material H & M  shorts £2.50 (they’re mens small but for me.
A Kate Spade clear with gold and silver dots silicone phone cover for my new phone 50p
Tu black patent with brogue details pumps/ ballet flats £4. The woman in Oxfam wasn’t sure if they were kids or ladies but I’m not proud.

My car boot sale haul today! (I had a lovely time and no, I didn’t buy everything).
Next jeans £1
Next shirt 50p
craft book £1
Judith Kerr Treasury £2
3 baby books £1
building blocks 50p
4 bags of apples £1.70
soft toy £2
approx 800g yarn £3.50
board game 50p
wooden domino box 50p

Some are for the baby of course and the yarn is intended for a jumper for DH. 

The wool was originally £3.90 for 100g so about £28 saved there 😊.

Still haven't made to that boot sale yet!  Did fly past the one just outside Harrogate yesterday but didn't have time to stop. 

@Floss. Green eyed monster activated re the Hobbs jumper dress.... well spotted!

Half my Saturday haul was from Bedale car boot sale (in the morning), the rest was from Thirsk which opens at 1pm (and charges £1 admission).

I forgot one item: a glass soap dish for 50p.

I'm deffo going to make an effort and come up to North Yorks a day early soon, (Fri), I like the idea of 2 car boots in a day.! Haven't been to one since the days of the one on the racecourse at Thirsk.  (Had a lovely meal at Tom & Nellies in Bedale this last week-end)

Had a squiz round the chazzers in Ripon today - saw a nice Ted Baker midi skirt , black & pink flower border on a cream background , priced at £7.99.  Trouble was it was one of those divided skirt type jobbies, (which I hate...ditto jumpsuits!).  I did think about altering it to make a proper skirt but nah...too much faff and bother!

I had a spare 5 mins before the dentist today so popped into the shared Shared Space opposite the theatre, and picked up 3 books at 70p each (inflation!!). @Wednesday2000 - the former Havens chazzer in Westcliff (next to the small Tesco) will be a St Vincent's, coming soon. Looks like it's almost ready, I look forward to having a look round.

I will look out for it.:)

I am going to York and Brighton next month and I'm looking forward to trying the chazzers in new areas. The woman I'm meeting in Brighton is a big charity shop fan so I'm sure we will be browsing through the shops there.

I've spied a new charity shop opening on our high street soon (Northallerton) so foresee checking them out. Its a childrens charity but I cant remember the name - not one of the biggies though...

York also has The Vintage Store on Parliament Street which has some interesting stuff though a bit more expensive than most charity shops. Good to see things finding new homes though.

I think it's Martin House Hospice. We will probably land on their doorstep at the same time!  

Any idea when it opens?
