Not had any big bargains- i have not found a Dior dress for fifty pence or anything like that. I did get a Cath Kidson pouch for one pound. I have had some good bags that I love. Share your bargains...

I live in Charity shops
Genuine Louis Vuitton (sp) bag for £1
19th century Witches Ball for £2
Many more..have to think.

I got a radley bag for £3, but I know many on the style thread wouldn't rate that!

I just like the fact that I can buy 5 tops for £20 and that's my new summer wardrobe-people ask where they're from and I can say French Connection or where ever with a straight face now!

Citizens of humanity jeans (unworn) for £4!

Knitknat, I got some new Citizens of Humanity jeans for £3. Beat ya Wearign them now, I bloody love them.

ha! that's brilliant!

our local shops are full of primark and peacocks.
but i have got loads of mini boden stuff for the kids in the BHF for £2-3 an item.

Bought a radley limited edition picture bag for a fiver. Thats my best by miles

I will add I used it for a bit then sold it on ebay for 65 quid!

I bought a Burberry Skirt for Dd2 last week for £2, sadly it didn't fit her so i stuck it on e-bay and it sold for £22. I have also found a few bits of Boden for the dd's.

7 jeans for a tenner.

I go to my local charity shop to buy story books for ds, £1 for 5! All in pristine condition.

I also got a fantastic cable cardigan from there last winter, it was £10 but brand new.

Just did my six-monthly clothes shop (£140) at Sue Ryder and the cut-off-labels sale shop. Am most delighted, especially with my cut-off-label Karen Millen stuff and the £4 second-hand trousers, which are Dorothy Perkins but exactly what I wanted. If I'd been this much of a cheapskate before I needed to become one, I wouldn't need to be such a cheapskate now! ... if you see what I mean

Never thought of re-baying charity shop finds, though, thanks!!

Wow! The charity shops I usually go in are full of Primark bits and pieces. It's been on the odd occassion that I have found my good items. I

Oh BooBoo you beat me! I managed to find a pair of Citizens for Humanity jeans this weekend for £9.50 - still love them though.

I also look for miniboden and john Lewis clothes, Cashmere jumpers and tweed jackets (which I cut up to make stuff!)

We have a good selection of shops where I live (and clearly some rich people).

Kew and Boden knitwear.

I love the idea of recycling and as long as there's no overpowering smell, I'll buy pretty much anything.

Love it

Have bought a Hobbs dress today for £3.95. A superdry jumper for £4.

Becoming quite a regular in the shops.

Hobbs brown velvet blazer with tags £5.
Mustard silk Monsoon top £2.50
Monsoon black cropped cardigan £2

Where on earth do you all live?

I was wondering that, kitya! Can I get a bus there?

I presume all the posters above dont live in my town then? The clothes in ours are all primark/matalan or next if you are very lucky and are over priced. I have got some nice stuff for dcs though-designer at debenhams pieces,zara or john lewis.

I've bought some lovely things at the posh charity shops around Marylebone High St but the best is the small country town ones where you get things for 50p and half a dozen trashy novels for a pound

My best charity shop one-stop haul was a Peter Storm coat for dd, Mini boden top for ds, funky astronaut children's storage case, Bagpuss pyjama case and sequiny shoulder bag for dd's stocking. All for less than £5.

I live in North London,Kitya,so I can get to the charity shops in Highgate,Hampstead and Muswell Hill...'Nuff said

Yes Cat64,mooching is key.
