I love charity shops

[Graham_S]

On a Saturday I like to have a wander around the local charity shops.
I get the occasional cracking bargain.
For example, in Oxfam in Broughty ferry I found a Dutch Oven for £3.50.
Well today I found an almost complete Trangia 27 for £5
All that's missing is the actual burner unit.
bonus.

Sounds like you have a better class of charity shop down by the Tay .

The pickings are pretty lean up here in Forfar .

Cheers,

Pete.

I just hate reading about folks good luck in charity shops.

The only thing I seem to turn up are wool blankets and there's only so many of those one needs.

Found a Fjällräven Greenland jacket in Oxfam on the Walworth Road (London) about a year ago, £3 if my memory serves me right.
And don't even get me started on Swedish Charity shops like Myrona!

Actually I got the Trangia in Elgin.

You jammy gits
all there is up here are moth-eaten flannel blankets, fifties handbags and china tea sets with various bits missing. It took me weeks to find a leather belt that I could make into a belt loop for a kukri sheath - so my hopes of finding a Bushy bargain are all but dead in the water.

Wouldn't say that
my OH got some Cross country skis in Forfar on Friday.
Perfect, if we get any more snow (just not for a few months, hopefully)

I got my enormous sheepskin coat from a charity shop for £20. was well pleased with that, thpugh its so thick I can't even bend over to tie my shoelaces in it, I have to undo the buttons!

I do like having a troll in my local charity shops too, but it has been slim pickings the last few years but iI did pick up a Vaude fleece a couple of months ago in Sterling for a fiver (not one of my local shops) so can't complain.
A dutch oven for £3.50 I would say the bargain of the year.

The best I have found recently is a shemagh for £3
I do have a deal with a local place though with the girl working on monday, any leather goods I get for cheaper than their selling.
I have picked up some fairly decent leather that way.
But better than that, I once spent half a day in a skip gutting a leather sofa. haha
