To be shocked at the price of used clothes on the Oxfam online shop

I was browsing on the Oxfam online shop and was at the prices of the used clothes, £29 for a pair of tatty Miss Sixty jeans, and £17 for a used Miss Sixty top. Even the non branded clothes are a lot, you might as well buy them new from the shop. I used to love hunting in charity shops and finding bargains in days of yor, but now no way. I used to work with adults with LD, and this man with Autism used to like gettig cds from the charity shop, at £3 per used cd (some crappy 90's bands not recent chart music) you might as well go on Amazon and get them new. More often than not he could not afford it on is daily allowance at the day centre.

freecycle is rubbish for gaining new clothes though...you can't see things and tbh, the one time I was lucky enough to be offered a bag full of ''fat face, next, M&S- all nice stuff'' for the dc, it was not fit for rags - old, and torn and horrid. And we had driven 2 miles to pick it up. !
