Re: Bargain!
I love charity shops. I get loads of clothes from them. Occasionally shoes, too.One of my best buys was a pure wool edge to edge, three-quarter length coat for £4. Spotless, and so useful.
Mind you, I give a lot to them, too.
Sometimes those things are almost new, or pretty brand new, due to just making a mistake! Something turns out to be not as comfortable as I first thought, and so gets left in the wardrobe for ages, etc!
The good thing about buying from charity shops is that if you do make a mistake, it doesn't cost too much!

I hope you've washed it!..

I must say I have made a few mistakes,..bought and never worn,...I've waited ages for these boots,..nearly bought others,but resisted,because I knew I wouldn't wear them,...these ones,I know I will wear,..I do a heck of a lot of walking,..so time will tell how comfy they will be.
My friend is taking me out to lunch tomorrow,and we plan on doing the rounds,on all the charity shops.

Re: Bargain!
Ooooo lovely!I bought a brand new cushion with an embroidered bee on for my daughter (M&S £9.60) she loves bees, for £3. Some sea-sidey ornaments for my lounge, which is now beach themed (was Steampunk). I'm looking for a nice jacket now as my winter coat has been too warm lately.
Wells is excellent for charity shops, they get coach parties over from Wales!

Re: Bargain!
I very rarely go near any shops, I just can't tolerate crowds anymore so most of my shopping is done online. I wish I wasn't so antisocial as I'd quite enjoy rummaging in a charity shop I think.I have however donated lots of things to charity shops. When my husband died I went through his clothes and there were loads of brand new jeans still with the labels on so they went to the local charity shop along with a fair few other new or nearly new items. Anything that was unsuitable went in the local clothing bank.
