War On Want

Generally speaking, I am a charity shop nut. I cannot help myself. The only problem I have with charity shops is that some of them are like this particular War on Want – that is to say, they are wanting.
This was a bit of a disappointment. There was only a small range of stock (though I know that’s not entirely the fault of the shop as people need to donate!), and most of what I saw did not look that nice.
I wish that more charity shops would stock OLD used books (not just recently discarded best sellers, or trashy romance.) They don’t have to be first editions or even remotely valuable – they are just prettier, and sometimes mean we poor people can finally get hold of some of those out of print treasures we’ve been dying to find.
Even so, much of the fault lies with those who donate. You need to donate to charity shops. They need good stock. And you need to donate high quality items that you would actually expect someone to buy!

like a jumble sales been thrown in a shop, its a proper old fahsion cahrity shop not one of these upmarket wanna eb vintage shops you get now. there for the prices are still lowlowlow which is very good. the staff are lovely and all work for free so i believe. You really haev to root in here to find the good stuff. it also smells soooo musty and damp so anyhing will probs need several washes

AB FAB!!! This is great for some bargains! The staff are lovely, the bargains varied ad it is well worth a regular visit!
