More Charity Shop Bargains for 2018 & beyond!

Hello ��
Can I join you? I beyond love Charity shopping and I have just read some of the thread!
I was wondering how to fill my afternoon and have decided to have a mooch this afternoon around my local shops!
I will report back my findings!
Over and out...
Annie

Just went for a mooch and nothing. Glad in a way! Went round last week and saw loads of things. Amazing how that happens! There was a 'everything £2' sale on at one but just tat.

Am keeping my eye out for some newish size 6 winter boots that can be worn to work. Probably a bit of a unicorn in chazza shops but I live in hope

Don't give up hope! I've just seen 2 pairs of brand new M & S black real leather boots in a chazza - one pair size 6 and the other 7. Look a bit like smart DM's, lace up fronts with a buckled strap, a fur trim round the ankle and fur lined (faux fur of course), £9.99. I'm sure I saw them instore last year priced at around £79.99.

Just a couple of small but delightful purchases today. The community chazza had a big basket of brand new stationery items, (I just lurve stationery/notebooks/fancy paper etc). Got a teeny notebook about 2" x 3" with a gold embossed Moroccan stylee patterned cover with a jewelled magnetic clasp. Each of the pages has a similar pattern in the bottom corners. Price tag attached for £3. Also got a really cute set of mini sticky notes. (No more boring post it's!) It features 11 different whimsical designs, all to do with Paris, and best of all, they come in a tiny pocket sized folder. They are super tiny and super cute, perfect for a stationery hoarder! Each item was 25p. I bought them thinking they would be good to give as gifts but I suspect I will be unable to part with them!

Sometimes it's an itch that just has to be scratched though.

Occasionally I've just had a strong feeling that if I visit a given chazzer on a given day, I'll manifest what I've been divining...and I have :dance:

I can't decide whether to divulge the location of my superb haul today, at the risk of starting a stampede, not to mention upping the competition! But here goes... if any of you can get to Wigan, do try the YMCA shop in the town centre. It has "Everything 99p" on the window, but at the back of the shop are a few rails of things that allegedly may have a mark or be sub-standard in some way, for 50p. All these things are on blue hangers, to differentiate them from the 99p stock on red ones.

Anyway today they were doing two of these items for 50p! Must be trying to make room for new stock or something.

So - for the grand total of £1 :j I came home with a pair of Matalan jeans (my favourite brand for a good fit) in my size, just needed taking up an inch, a pair of Next navy linen trousers, perfect fit don't even need shortening, a White Stuff sports teeshirt and a New Look lightweight teeshirt. I also got a M&S teeshirt from the 99p rails, and in another shop a Viz-a-Viz teeshirt for £1. A whole holiday wardrobe for £3 :T . I love those very fine cotton tee's that fold small for packing and weigh next to nothing, and always buy them when I see them. Hit the jackpot today! Incidentally, I can't see a single flaw on any of the four blue hanger items, so they are totally not tat.

Don't all descend on Wigan at once! :rotfl: To be fair, I have been in that shop and left empty handed on occasions, so it just depends what they have in stock when you go.
