In my home town there are many charity
shops that I love to have a rummage through. You can find some really
good quality things at bargain prices. I know there are people who
don't shop at charity shops at all but they don't know what they are
missing. Many times I have got things in a charity shop that I
needed, wanted or sometimes I have even found things I never knew
existed. Here are a few examples from the last week of times I have
had success while shopping in charity shops.
As I was walking through town the other
day, I spotted a Doctor Who book in a window of a charity shop, I
stopped and had a look at it but told myself I didn't need it and
carried on walking to work. When I walked back later that day, I
spotted it again and lost my internal battle and went in and brought
it! When I was inside, I realise the book was almost new as the spine
of the book wasn't creased at all and it had only be donated that
morning. This book was one I had considered buying myself from book
stores when I had seen it previously but didn't want to spend £12.99
so I was so pleased to get it for only £1.99.

| my doctor who bargain |
Tilly has so many fancy dress costumes
but she wanted to be something scary and mum was able to buy her a
bride of Frankenstein costume in a local charity shop. It was really
cheap as it didn't have any of the accessories with it, but as luck
would have it we were able to go into another charity shop and buy
the veil that matched, all for a fraction of the price of a new one.
It was defiantly a bargain.
My town is quite small and there are
only a few clothes shops. Therefore I love having the charity shops
as they offer a higher variety of options. Many times they have
clothes from shops that being a non driver, I rarely get to visit.
Just the other day I needed a new pair of trainers but couldn't find
any that I liked. When I popped into a charity shop on my home, I was
able to get a almost new pair that I liked in my size and for cheaper
then in other shops.

ReplyDeleteMy mum used to manage our local British heart foundation. I was a teenager at the time and my mum was a single parent , so the very cheap, lovely and would you believe it? fashionable clothes were a Godsend.

ReplyDeleteGrowing up going into charity shops was social suicide, but having three kids of my own that cost a fortune I do go in every now and again to grab a bargain and of course to donate to a good cause. I also take the kids old clothes and books in there so that others can appreciate them rather than throw them away or go through the hassle of putting them on ebay, packing and posting etc. Charity shops are a great way to stop great goods ending up in the bin and allow those that want to save money to purchase some great things. My attitude towards charity shops has definitley changed since having children and unlike in the past there are also new items in many of them.
