    I get what you're saying about it being for charity, but that doesn't mean they should be putting ridiculous prices on stuff. Remember, they're getting this stuff for nothing. A lot of us used charity/secondhand shops due to low income, poverty etc etc. Now though some of them are literally taking the michael. And not all the money goes to some of these charities, just a percentage. That first shop was ridiculously priced 😲

      @Pumpkin Pi Just saw your comment and I’m really surprised about all those managers etc , I have a friend that works in a children’s charity shop but all the staff are volunteers , I did know all the good quality goods are sold on eBay but what I’ve just read in your comments is a disgrace … I’m really shocked ….

    Well, hello from Canada. I came across your channel randomly today. I watched your video where you went to a village flea/antiques market with a friend and a black lab puppy. I loved your comments & advice. You have the most wonderful voice and music tracks. I think that your comments regarding charity thrift shops are spot on. The person who winged about some ridiculous prices seemed of track. He doesn't have to go there nor does he have to buy anything with a price he doesn't want to pay. Keep up the great content.

    I have volunteered in 2 different charity shops. The first one had a list of prices. If something was from Marks it would be priced higher than Primark for example. The other was a local one that supported our foodbank. We ad libbed the prices but nothing was that expensive and it was all going to that great cause. No one took a salary xx

    Loved the shacket in the second shop nice Autumn colours and would have suited you so well , have another think about that one before it goes . I saw that lovely black Labrador in the first shop beat you and was just coming out of the next one when you got there. Expensive , but to be expected in London. Charity shops in South Wales are a lot cheaper and you get get some great bargains.

    Hi I always love a charity shop ,we have some amazing ones in Leeds.But I've been on holiday in the UK and found the charity shops were so expensive .One shop though was really good for new items and we're selling a large amount of Zara clothes new with tags on that were this season too.They had men's ,woman's and kids stuff.They were in the heart foundation and said they were getting them every week .A lot cheaper than Zara and some really nice items too.They said Various shops were chosen so I'm hoping one of my local ones are doing this too.Maybe your is , definitely worth a look.Some charity shops need to watch their prices as people won't pay it especially if there is other ones around that are more reasonable . Looking forward to seeing whatever you decide to do next.

A few other nice bits too. Have a great week my friend. 🙏❤️✨☮️😘🏠💐☀️🇺🇸

    I find quiet a lot of times the Charity Shops OVERPRICE things considering they were GIVEN it for free .
    If things are overpriced people aren’t going to pay it so, which will loose to a lost sale .I always say, ‘ keep the cost low and more pounds will appear for the shop’ . I find The Harlington Hospice shops have the cheapest prices and best things in . Have a nice Sunday.

I was in a shop yesterday and saw six cocktail glasses for a £1. The same shop is where I got my settee from and that cost me £20! My top tip would be bring an item home put an item in a charity bag.that way you don’t get too cluttered in the wardrobe and you are giving back too.

    Big stores like M&S donate stock that they can't sell, even after having sales.

Yes some chairty shops do seam to be over priced on different things. It can be off putting yet works the other way round to ! What may seam affordable for one may not be for another !

    Hi Mr. C! Wow that first charity shop was a bit pricey compared to the others you went to. I believe the long Le Creuset container is for pate or to make gelatinous molds like head cheese (not sure if you eat this in the UK, but personally I'm not a fan of it.) I do watch Freya's channel as well and will check out her video next. Thanks for taking us out shopping as always. Much love from Fort Worth, Texas! 😊🍁🌾

    Wow expensive charity shops even though it’s a good cause. I’m going to Southport soon to see what bargains I can pick up there. You should collaborate with Katy Jayne she’s the charity shop queen of the north east, she gets fabulous bargains. I’ll watch to see what Freya gets, love her channel.

    I'm glad you looked at the le creuset. It is definitely meant for breads, quick breads like banana bread etc. That was actually a good price. I'm in the U.S and those go for well over $100 U.S dollars. I've noticed in general that London thrift store prices are more than U.S thrift stores. That being said your stores seems to have nicer things.

      Ah ok, maybe we do things differently in the U.S. I've used them for the things I mentioned.

    I have a friend that goes into the shoppes and picks up canvasses for pennies and uses them to paint his own art over the already bad art. stretched prepared canvas in an art store is very expensive. in the thrift stores/junque shoppes/charity shops the art is priced at less than $10, that's money in your pocket as a painter.

    That tin looked like a fish kettle, it should have a little tray inside. you might use it to make a meat loaf or pate. I have to agree with some of the comments I thought some of thoses things were a bit pricy.

  • @silviahoya

    wow, that is a very expensive charity shop! I live in Manchester city centre and my local charity shops sell for just a fraction of what I have seen in your video. £15 for a plate, £5 for a flute, that is more like TK-maxx prices to me. Having said that, I have enjoyed your video very much and I will keep watching, I just hope you can find cheaper shops :)

    Aww i hate that nothing caught your eye to bring home!
    But I can understand that if your home is still in disarray you just can't put anything else into it until you can it organized the way you like it!!!
    But still nice to look around and sometimes you just don't anything that jumps out at you enough to say I have to have it!!!

    MR. CARRINGTON, as it looks like you REALLY read the comments, I would like to know the music used in this video. The songs are amazing and I don't know how to identify them. I just discovered your channel tonight and as a lifetime thrifter, yours is one of the best I would say that I have ever encountered. Could you perhaps list the songs used in a video? Looking forward to many more adventures with you. Your attitude, voice and delivery are so pleasant and uplifting. Great job, Mate! From a small town in North Carolina, your newest fan.
