I have recently got into shopping in charity shops, you can find so many good bargains. So I thought I would share my tips with you so we can all find fabulous bargains!
1} Okay so my first tip is to be open minded when you go into a charity shop. There is no point going in thinking you won't find anything because you probably won't if you think like that.
2} This point kind of contradict the first point, but I think it's also good to not have your mind set on something you are going to find. So if you walked in and were set on finding a tartan scarf or a denim jacket and you didn't find either of them, you are going to be really put off and may not be bothered to go into any more charity shops, as you feel dis-heartened.
3} Tip number 3 is to not look at something as it looks on the hanger. It sounds really stupid but try and imagine it with other items you own or what it would actually look like on you.
4} I sometimes find that things in charity shops can be quite overpriced for what they are especially seen as they are second handed. I tend to not pay anything over £4 unless its something really special.
5} My final tip is to have a proper look through everything before you leave the shop as you never know what gem could be hiding in the corner.
I know sometimes it can be quite daunting at first, I have had a lot of weird looks off people, but it's all for a good cause because everything is going to charity which is a massive positive! So even if when you get home you realise you don't like what you bought it probably didn't cost that much and the money would have gone to a charity anyway!
I hoped you enjoyed this chatty post and if you have anymore tips leave then in the comments so we can all have a nosey!
