Charity shop finds

Anyone else trawl the charity shops today? What did you get?

I'm well pleased with what I got:
A nice cooking pot
Books
A washing basket
Soup spoons
A pair of exercise leggings
A teapot
A pair of zara shoes
A little miniature basket for my mum

And I only spent about 20 quid!

What sort of areas do those of you quoting amazingly low priced quality items live in?

I've had some bargains over the years but never such great prices as these.

Around here (a Worcestershire town) minimum prices seem to be tshirts £3.50, tops £4.50+, trousers £6+, dresses £7+ and those aren't top brands either.

My best ever buy though was years ago ...a Nintendo DS for £1. It wasn't charged and had no charging lead so was sold as seen ie. risk of it never working but it did work!

It isn’t the area, it is the shop. As someone mentioned there’s a Cancer Research where nothing is over £3. However I can’t afford Oxfam 😂

what a find!

I love charity shops. Especially for antiques

I found a silver max box Hallmarked and dated 1902 with the original match box in for £6.00

They are definitely getting more expensive around here though and with the internet I think stuff gets looked up more when being put out into the shop so it's rarer to find something really cheap that's actually worth a lot.
