  • On my first outing after my latest operation we went to Newton Abbot to do a little charity shop shopping.
    I think I did OK.
    For those that don’t know Newton Abbot is a few miles from Torquay in Devon.
    At the end of the video I try on all the outfits I got.
    How do you think I did?
    Many thanks for watching.

      Yes most English towns have a few charity shops, as the economy drops more and more charity shops spring up, they are also many different ones as they support different charities. My challenge is to make good outfits out of what I find, being a bigger lady some times there are not so many choices.

    Well done for what you said about Charity shops keeping their prices low as they get the donations for free and it helps people on a low income. I’ve been saying this for ages and I’m glad that someone else thinks so too.

      Your deffinately not alone. And it is getting worse they say they want us to recycle, but make it hard to afford.

    Love all your outfits esp the first one. You're right about what charity shops are charging, they are pricing themselves out of the market sadly x

    Totally agree about the prices in the charity shops. We buy stuff for the home too and goodness, small picture frames 5 quid upwards, some ornaments nearly a tenner. Honestly you can by cheaper by going straight The Range r something (which somewhat defeats the object of upcycling or recycling of course.) I know that charities need to make money, and I don't begrudge that, but pricing themselves out and having stock not moving is a pointless exercise. Surely turning over stock at reasonable prices is better for everyone. We were in one of the dearer charity shops near me the other week, and the shop lady was saying to another customer how the shop is dead and no one is buying .... not surprised at some of their prices! Literally, you could by cheaper on the high street.

      Absolutely. I cannot believe prices here in Ireland as well. So many of the items are from Primark or High streets and they honestly are the same price as the shops. If the item is of great quality ok then you should charge more but not for something that is not even very good quality. I think to be honest just because its a charity doesn't mean there aren't some greedy gus at the top.

      It is so crazy, on top of that I see them turning donations away because they are full, walked past new look and the dresses were cheaper than the heart foundation madness.

      I do my best to just keep going what ever life throws at me. It's too short to feel sorry for myself.

    Completely agree about prices. I recently volunteered for a charity shop and couldn't believe how much was sold to jobbers as rags. I had to stop it made me so angry.
    They should sell it cheaply and make everyone happy

    • @TheCraftyNana1

      Too right some still reasonable but other crazy prices especially in bigger city's where often people on low incomes need the lower prices. It is a shame the ladies that work there often say they have no choice they get set prices.
