When I worked in town, at lunch time I used to do my charity shop walk. I had a route that that took me by 7 charity shops. Used to look for craft stuff, sometimes got real bargains, things that you can't buy anymore. Some of the shops often have factory over-makes or previous years fashion donated, all brand new. On Facebook there's a page called Charity Shop Shit, if you're having a down day check it out, its's hilarious. People try and find the worst/ugliest things for sale and post photos. There's also a trend of buying said ugly items and then smuggling them into a friend's house for them to discover at a later date.
