Thank you for sharing your tips, and I hope those will help people out there who consider themselves unlucky when it comes to hunting good items in charity shops.

Don't know why as I do really love to rummage. <br /><br />I agree about how gratifying it can be to find something similar to what's in this season for like 10% of the price. I also agree with others when they say that charity shops have become more savvy when it comes to selling and pricing what is in this season. You can see this in the window displays and websites.Socialattehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16231904620797397114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376800016189799600.post-6048839585721014092012-06-17T20:40:21.781+01:002012-06-17T20:40:21.781+01:00I used to be pretty apathetic towards charity shop...I used to be pretty apathetic towards charity shops, until I stumbled across a few brilliant finds - now I love to have a browse! xMillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09943463515742105850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376800016189799600.post-68516810003549293882012-06-17T10:07:08.942+01:002012-06-17T10:07:08.942+01:00Yeah, I think different people have different expe...Yeah, I think different people have different expectations from their charity shopping. I don't personally go for Primark either but it's great for the shops to be getting on trend pieces and able to create a jazzy window display that might just encourage someone who wouldn't usually shop there to go in. I heart label savvy old ladies.. They know their stuff !!

To be fair, the local charity I worked for was starting to have a list of labels to look out for and enlisted the help of an antique dealer to look through their crockery. They may not have got as much as it was worth but they got more than what they would have guessed. I guess you just have to take charity shops for what they are; an outlet to raise money for causes that aren't getting the funding. If you get a bargain out of it then it's a bonus!HELenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480118891124583511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376800016189799600.post-38488544679205516872012-06-17T08:08:21.029+01:002012-06-17T08:08:21.029+01:00I am a massive charity shopper!

I spent £40 the other week and came home with one almighty haul (that's hoping to take some photographing!!) alot of the charity shop ladies are getting obsessed with writing ridiculous prices on Primark clothes! I generally have a rule to refuse to buy Primark but I do have a few exceptions in my wardrobe. These charity shop ladies are getting too label savvy these days! <br /><br />Jenni x<br /><br />Bowsbanglesandbakes.blogspot.comJenni https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320238130834118563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376800016189799600.post-59821660989213174382012-06-17T02:33:56.421+01:002012-06-17T02:33:56.421+01:00great post :) i love just taking a day to myself t...great post :) i love just taking a day to myself to browse the charity shops. the blue stone piece of jewellery is beautiful! xClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537658508965353276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376800016189799600.post-49353258999352286332012-06-17T00:28:24.343+01:002012-06-17T00:28:24.343+01:00The ladies at the shop I used to work in were obse...The ladies at the shop I used to work in were obsessed with Marks and Spencer, slapping the highest price tags on and refusing to reduce M&S items because in their opinion 'you can rely on St. Michael's.' <br /><br />It's like this in almost every charity shop! (or at least it used to be...) I remember when I was young my mum would see designer stuff she had donated going for like £1 and m&s stuff for like £5 and it would upset her because they could get so much more for it. I once got a miu miu top in a charity shop for £3 because they didn't know what it was. Alot of charity shops are more savvy these days esp. as they aren't run entirely by retired ladies anymore, quite a few young girls i know work in them too, to get first dibs on the best goodies.<br /><br />where I live it's quite a well to do area so the charity shops are quite expensive (£15 for a topshop dress, which is cheap considering how much it cost new, but back home it would cost £4) so i'm asking around about nearby towns that i can get the bus too where they might be a bit better.Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04103299933246315948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376800016189799600.post-52606000151864027412012-06-16T22:22:04.167+01:002012-06-16T22:22:04.167+01:00That was my problem..
