Charity shops

[Tangerinedream]

Im not sure if this belongs here....

I went to the cancer research shop today and bought a couple of lovely things. They have 60% off some of their gift items so i bought a nappy stacker (stripey, yellow with a'lion' head and arms) for £4 (was £10) and a knitted teddy for £3 (was £8 ). its the first teddy ive bought for LO

Just thought I'd share this as they have some lovely gifts. They are made by cancer research so they arent second hand either (not that there is anything wrong with second hand goods )

I bought 10 ladybird books for £1 yesterday in Mind charity shop...

That's excellent...I used to buy myself paperback books in charity stores (I read so much, especially in the summer that it seems pointless spending £6.99 in Waterstones on them!). Anyway I used to be able to get 3 books for £1 in the ones in town...now they are "individually" priced and are roughly £1.10 each! It's crazy to me, surely if they just got 10p per book it would help their charity/cause etc. I've stopped looking in them since, a lot of their stuff is (in my opinion) overpriced now and can be found cheaper (esp. clothing) in places like ASDA or Tesco etc.
