Shop Charity Store in '24!

Lovely stuff! I spent £1.50 0n a book for me and £3.20 on a book as a gift (hardcover and good condition).

I also had the first wear of a Christmas jumper I bought in one of the Thirsk charity shops last year and noticed it's too big, but too big in a nice way - perfect for under a waterproof in a recent deluge, so I didn't freeze and still looked festive when I arrived where I was going.

Cleobury today - a small charity shop but it often delivers. 

Mantaray dress - reduced to £3.50

Joules jumper - £7

In Chazzer We Thrive - Bargain Finds in 2025!

I'm just back from a trip away and am so glad to be home, catching up on this thread and our collective rescues is a small but significant part of what I love about living here. I found plenty of cheap merchandise abroad, but nothing beats the quality and variety I find in the great British chaz! My mum often gets complimented on her outfits, 80% of which I find for her pre-loved.

I never thought to look out for bargains for my mum.  I must take some measurements when I see her as she is such a different shape to me.

Love the joules jumper. No finds but dropped a bag of stuff off, all saleable.  Am out of love with Vinted at the moment as life stresses high.

Not charity shop, but second hand, I found a coat with Vinted as I couldn't find a red coat I liked in the charity shops. I had to dry clean it, but I still think it is a bargain as it was pure wool.

Mine too - but if she likes something of mine she is free to borrow, and 9 times out of 10 it will fit / be a little loose on her. So I buy stuff that I know is more her style than mine and her looks often draw admiration from others.

I think the chazza Christmas Fairy is on a mission to get me to buy all sorts of daft stuff at the moment.  First was a pair of navy very sparkly Nine West heels from the YMCA shop in Ripon for £6.  This then necessitated the purchase a a Boden navy velvet dress to go with them, (Vinted).  No idea where I am going to wear this outfit! 🙄. Then in St Gemma’s in Otley I bought a Ted Baker b/n swimsuit, for £2.99.  Why when no hols planned and far too skimpy for me??? 🙄. Today, in our local Sue Ryder shop I picked up a b/n M&S burgundy & white spotted dressing gown for £4.  😊. At least this is festive and will keep me warm!

Ooh @Miró that swimsuit is lovely!
