I love charity shops and over the years I've had some bargains
It would be good to hear what bargains people have had.
Anything or owt be books,cds,clothes,electrical items,furniture you name it
The most recent bargain I got was a portable minidisc player/recorder for 2:50 and it had a AA batery in AND inear
Headphones.all in full working order.the battery wasn't flat neither!
I would always replace the in-ear headphones incase the person who had it had an ear infection or something.
Good advice,but they came in the orginal un-opened bag with the instructions then stopped working 2 months later
I love a good bargain too!

I recently got about £23 worth of fresh meat for about £4
Gotta love the 'whoopsie' aisle
Hi I am always on the lookout for old 'Denby' part dinner services especially old patterns and tureens and gravy boats. I don't buy individual saucers. I am very choosy but have come away with part dinner services for very little money. I also collect studio pottery but again I'm very choosy. I also collect egg cups but the chances of finding something very rare in a charity shop is very slim these days. I would buy a cracked egg cup if it was a rare pattern. Husband and son buy vinyl records and they have a book which tells them the rarity value. I'm less interested in clothes as I am not a standard size! Usually I want something that I see in the window when the shop is closed.
if find with charity/2nd hand shops that you never know what's going to turn up from one week or day to the nxt
A lot of the time I come home empty handed but then some days I'm loaded down with books and cds
They are good for vinyl records too.I got Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd once and it had the two posters with it
Went to 8 Charity shops yesterday and got another 8 this afternoon
I know round here that it's a case of knowing which charity shops to go to and which ones to avoid. Some of them I've found items which are cheaper to go and buy new! I hate that!

I don't really have time to go round normally but will go when I'm on holiday.
I too love charity shops. Other day I decided to buy something a size down, to help me lose my weight. Well I came across a gorgeous skirt with a matching top, forgotten the name on the label, paid £5.99 which is a real bargain. And it's 2 sizes down, so that's something to help me want to lose the weight for.
