- I finally took on thrifting in England!! I've seen all the comments from you guys telling me how awful it was, so I took on the challenge and did 3 different types of thrifting in UK! ☀️Instagram: / alexasunshine83 👇🏻 Click down below for more 👇🏻
Of course it was different and I'm not going to lie I have a new appreciation for thrifting in the US, but I almost enjoyed the challenge! Being able to find gems like that Disney shirt was so random and so exciting because I had to dig and really search for it which is the whole reason I enjoy thrifting so much!

I got a pair of vans and doc Martens from charity shops both £10 each !!!!!!!!! it's because the people who work there are old and they generally don't know the worth of a lot of their items but what a snatch !!!!
!!!!!!! THAT IS INSANE
Yeah, I found a Ralph Lauren jumper for £8 yesterday but I think charity shops are catching on now to what brands are and how expensive they are new! Xx
@@alexasunshine83 such a bargain !!! my proudest find x
@@creativemomreads woah that's crazy !! x
Yeah ive found lots of dr martens for £10 each in charity shops :D only one in my size though and ended up selling them for £50 cause they wasnt my style ! Found £130 skirt and got it for 20p found loads of gems so these charity shops on the video arent the one! :D x
thrift shops arent a thing here its just expensive vintage shops and then charity shops
babyhols666 charity shops are great fun though
thrift shops in america are the same as charity shops i believe, cause the salvation army and stuff like that are supposed to also give back to the community it’s just that some salvation army’s are thrift stores, others are soup kitchens, others are group homes, stuff like that
RoyTards the stuff ull find inside is INSANELY different. for the most part here in charity shops its shitty old games and some old people hats and some baby clothes and they’re always super small little shops not a huge place w tons of racks
In liverpool they are fab and so cheap I got a brand new zara coat for 1.00 with tags check out my TH-cam channel xx
omds its so hard, especially when the only charity shop in my vicinity is cancer research uk and they just sell old dvds n books and things targeted towards old people
I find smaller charity shops for local charities or smaller charities are the best in England. Also makes a huge difference where you are, big city big prices, posh town means good stuff but lower prices. Also places where people have different style are good. I’ve spent years looking for an old man cardi only to find three in a shop in Gloucester.
Yes! You totally understand!! It’s all about finding which one fits you best!
I live in quite a rich area (i’m not rich myself but...) our charity shops are overpriced because there’s a lot of brands, and they look them up, and then overcharge because it’s a wealthy place
Gill Turberville I can’t find any good thrifting / charity stores in Gloucester
You must have gone in really high end charity shops like normally you get amazing things for under £10
Louisalou06 ha I live in Grimsby and we have charity shops where every single item is either £1 £2 or £3 and the clothes are super stylish, vintage, trendy, and every single type of clothing you can imagine
I live In Lincoln and I went into a charity shop earlier and there was a shirt (with a brand I didn’t recognise) at £30
Megan And Kacie oof u live over the bridge
Knitting For Life wowwww
Knitting For Life I think outer London is not the best place for charity shops then because mine are nothing like that 🥺
My heart actually dropped when the footage of you charity shopping came on... I live there and shop in all of tjose çharity shops weekly.. I literally reconised some of the items you were picking up! And ofc reconised all the cashiers. I cant believe you were in Reading
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same it felt so weird to see you in reading. I’m in town there ALL THE TIME

Hey Alexa! I would say cool video but I didn’t exactly watch it but I did give you a Like.
Anyways, I’m commenting because my lovely girlfriend who likes to watch your videos at max volume while she gets ready for bed. I have noticed in a couple of your videos I very loudly hear the battery in your Fire Detector Alarm is low and about to die. ( 1:20 )
I have asked the girlfriend to leave a comment suggesting to change your battery but she said this was somehow embarrassing and that she couldn’t even notice it. (Which I find absolutely incredible considering she listens to your videos at volumes that are comparable to a Jet Engine taking off)
I bring this up for a couple of reasons:
1. It is very unsafe to have a non functioning fire alarm. They save thousand of people and pets from tragic fires every year! (Completely made up fact. I’m too lazy to look that statistic up but it sure sounds good.)
And 2: Every time I hear it I lose my mind.. it is the equivalent of the sound of 1000 chalk boards being scraped by nails. Or the sound of someone scraping their fork and knife on a ceramic plate while trying to cut their food.
So please, for your safety and my sanity, purchase a 9VOLT battery ($1.50 on Amazon) to replace that annoying chirping sound.
Thank you so much,
-irrationally angry boyfriend
Dylan Fox I’m laughing so hard
HAHAAHA what a comment 😆
I also think her videos are brodcast at way louder volumes than most TH-camrs. I'm always turning down the volume on her vids 😂
😀😀😀😀

I recently started Thrifting in India!! I did not even know thats possible here, but your girl struggled a bit, did some roaming around here and there and now I know every thrift store and their owners😂. And you were the inspiration behind it.. Now more and more friends of mine are adopting Thrifting after they saw how much fun, affordable and fashionable it is!! You started this and that is why I want to thank you ❤️😘
@@gunjanvyas9065 I live in Jaipur. The trift stores here are small private buisnesses not charity based or anything. They are some foreign exported goods shop I believe.
@@gunjanvyas9065 omg! Of course. I would love to! Where do you live in India?
@@gunjanvyas9065 Sarojini is the ultimate dream of any Indian thrift shopper or I must say any Indian girl!!! Will definitely ping you whenever I visit😘 @shiny_sengupta is my Instagram if you want to keep in touch. ❤️
YOU ARE AMAZING OMG !!!!!!! You go love !
The plaid pants section for some reason made my heart sing a little (I love for some reason 70’s punk inspiration in outfits)
"Where's the pee smell I don't get it!" 😂😂😂IM DYING
😅😅😅😅
You've absolutely nailed what thrifting is like in England. Prices definitely differ according to location. I live in the north and prices up here are reasonable. I love going round my local charity shops as they are quiet and aren't picked over. I just find it so incredibly relaxing! ❤
Same in Sydney AU ESP THE HIPSTER parts, small towns maybe better and other states have Savers as in the usa ( same company) but not here.
where abouts in the north? i cannot find anywhere cheap for the life of me
Loved reliving these memories with you!! Everything you got turned out SO CUTE 😍
YES omg wish we could do it all over again !!!
What kinda charity shop were those? One's outside the city look like the inside of an elderly persons wardrobe
Miss Don't want a name it’s a vintage shops in Portabello road (London) it’s really cute and retro but rlly expensive.
Sometimes charity shops end looking like that. You have to go somewhere with a younger population.
Everyone is saying how the shops are expensive. Well of course it’s London/south of England. Residential properties are expensive so commercial properties are around there to
Yer where I live it’s all £1
I'm an American living in the UK, so I thought this video was super interesting! It's definitely cool to see both sides of the coin and be able to compare. I'm actually surprised people say thrifting is bad here! I find it's different than American thrifting and that's maybe what's throwing people off. In America, you hit up goodwill and for the most part it's a one stop shop depending on the size/quality of the store. In the UK, I find you have to go thrifting a lot and everywhere to find items you like. The charity shops are much smaller, but there's more of them. I love thrifting as a hobby so it's not a bother, but I can see it being too troublesome for someone that didn't enjoy it. Overall, I think thrifting relies on different strategies in the US vs. UK. I hope you had a wonderful trip!! ❤️
I would probably go on hunt for second hand Docs if I was in the Uk
My family hate me thrifting because “someone else has worn it”
Awww that’s how my dad feels too !
Tell them you can wash the clothes, but definitely don’t buy underwear. That’s gross 🤢😂
That's like saying someone drove a secondhand car lol.
@@raegan06 the only things my mam has told me never to buy is shoes and underwear.
omg same. My parents won't do thrifting or let me thrift for the same reasons and its so annoying.
Jesus! Them charity shops are EX-SPEN-SIVEEE! I’m used to spending £2 MAX and that’s on coats in the charity shops near me.
I don’t know how these charity shops justify charging £9 on a second hand top, no thank you 😂
My best find was a pair of Calvin Klein shorts for £1.50 and a YSL shirt for 49p 😊
WHERE??
for realll WHERE
WHEREEE
DROP YOUR LOCATION PLS
omg there are NO GOOD ONES in london ;((((
its really hard in england to find vintage at a cheap price .. what i do is go to a kilo sale a few times a year and get some key items to see me through the seasons haha ... but i cant wait to go to the US and thrift thats a goal for me x
London and Brighton are so expensive! At our local Sue Ryder shop, everything is one pound. I’ve found clothes new with tags, even suits. Next time, visit the northwest of England!
The charity shop near me has a rack with 50p stuff, found some great trousers (both of my favourite trousers- I only own 4 pairs of trousers- are from there) plus my fav jumper. I highly recommend going to non-chain charity shops, little local-charity corner shops. Animal (non-RSPCA) ones- animal welfare, or tied to a local 'farm' sanctuary- are really good and cheap.
Oh dang !!!
I’m lucky because I’m from the north of England and in my local charity shop everything is £3 and under! I guess it really varies shop to shop. Loved everything you found😻
where exactly I'm North btw? I'm moving to UK so I'm curious
literally, in the north east u can get tops for like £1 each
my favourite charity shop recently did a £1 an item sale and i bought 8 things :D i was ballin' on a budget! prices definitely vary depending on the charity itself, and the manager of the shop.
You’re so cute, I hope you had fun in England ❤️ Also the internal struggle is real sometimes like you said when you see prices at the thrift store vs. fast fashion 😅 And then having to remind yourself why you chose Goodwill over the mall in the first place. Love that your honest about it 💕
EXACTLY! Yeah I wanted to show it’s okay if you have that struggle too, pretending to be perfect is so unrealistic and I think is the big reason why people stick to fast fashion because they are familiar and are scared to fail with thrifting. It’s all about the reason why you do it 👍🏻
You have to consider where you are. Because I live in a less well off place with an older population I'll get cheaper stuff but it'll be harder to find something I like. But I've been to places like Oxford and Cambridge where are there are poorer younger people (college students) but also richer older people so that was interesting. I should think Brighton would be an awesome place. But I've never been.
I live in the uk and I can always find hidden gems in charity shops for cheap ❤️glad u got a taste of how I thrift!
All those shops looked like boutique stores here in the US...meanwhile Goodwill and salvation army here are like "go through these bins or crammed racks, you may find a needle, that's just part of the fun" 😂 not mad about the cheaper prices here though!
Kelsey Jones Where I live the charity shops are really really cheap- and the prices are so good too (£1-£10 on average). I think she went to a place that had really high prices for some reason. With lower prices comes a lot messier store though!
Ikr like it’s just a pin of cloths all for £1 and see what u find Iv found designer items for £2 😂
@@dinodino6079 It depends on the shop, some have rules that everything in the shop is under £5-10, but the quality of items in those stores will be lower as better quality items go to shops with higher price points. But it's definitely not uncommon to find charity shops where most items are priced at least as, if not more expensive as things in primark for example.
that's actually nuts that with the conversion rate
THAT WINNIE THE POOH SWEATER WAS $72 in American Dollars
I love how you don't go sightseeing but you go thrifting❤❤
I'm dying over the shop with all the disney clothes. It's so interesting how thrift stores are in the UK. Thanks for taking us along for the ride, girlie!
I was sad you didn't take the dog sweatshirt, and then "ok great Carrie will take it". I know that I won't have it anyway but I'm happy for you when you get something I really like 🤣
Hahaha Carrie did rock it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💁🏼♀️
Your camera couldn’t figure out what to focus on in the intro. Other then that, I always get excited to see your videos on Sunday!
I KNOW RIGHT! Like I’ve had this lens maybe +3 years and it all of a sudden did that ! 😅🤦🏼♀️
I live in Kent, England and love charity shopping! All the clothes for my 3 little girls are from charity shops and I regularly get comments about how nicely dressed they are. There's so many bargains to be had!
where in kent is good?
My favourite store is that under ground vintage store, It’s not all vintage and there are different stores with in it but I got a CUTE pair of caterpillar construction boots, AMAZING
i’ve started thrifting last year. i used to live in a small town in the uk so we had a few charity shops - i found some good stuff from there. now i moved to south london and now i prefer getting things that are better guilty and like more expensive. last week i bought collusion jeans for 6.5 and polo jumper for 15!!
for anyone in leeds i would definately suggest revive and the hedingly area(there are lots of charity shops close together)
Those are some of the most well organised charity shops I’ve ever seen. In the charity shops in my area they’re all really tiny, really cheap and half so much stuff piled on top of eachother and loads of taxidermy
i’ve been watching your videos for a couple months now and finally got the courage to go thrifting today!! i got 5 items for 18 dollars. thank you for sharing and showing me how to thrift!!
I recently got a levi jacket for £5 here in the uk! Everything £5 vintage sale i was thrilled!
Where
I literally have a pair of BURBERRY tracksuit bottoms for LEGIT ONE POUND like whatttt my mum got them for me and was like ‘I’ve seen the brand somewhere so I got them for u’ damn mum ITS BURBERRY😂😂
I'm from Poland, and we mostly have stuff from Germany and UK. Everything is from those charity shops. Sometimes you pay for an item, sometimes you pay for a kilo. It depends on where you live. I once bought a hurachache for 6 zlotys, that is 2-2.5 dollar
London is expensive hence the prices if you travel outside London then the prices are two to three pounds for a top and maybe 7 to £10 for a very nice coat. I find that in the charity shops in London you do not see actual authentic vintage but if you travel to Kent or Surrey in the little villages there are loads of very nice vintage clothes. The best thing I got was vintage Gianni Versace bag from the 80s for £15
Okay, that cropped denim jacket is adorable as heck!
I have definitely been living vicariously through your's and Carrie's instagram photos and videos of England.
I went thrifting yesterday and found 2 Panic! At The Disco shirts and 2 Twenty One Pilots shirts😊
Natasha Moore oooouh yesss, we stan 🙌👏
Omg what a luck!
I’m very jealous
Could never happen in France 😭
sis whereeee
my proudest charity shop finds definitely has to be a lazy oaf dress for £4 and fila disruptors for £9.99 🤩
wich one?
I am from Germany and i want to go thrifting so bad, but the next store is over an hour away from the rest is even more fare away so yeah i am trying to convince my parents to go with me (because in Germany you aren't allowed to drive a car under the age of 18... Sucks) the train and bus connection is baaaad...
Cara mri Ich bin auch immer so neidisch bei solchen Videos, schade dass es nicht so viele thrift stores in Deutschland gibt
Versucht mal Resales oder Second Plus, das sind Ketten, die es eigentlich öfter gibt in Deutschland und wenn man da sucht, findet man echt was, ich hab zb ne schwarze vintage levis 501 für 5€ bei resales gefunden 🙏
I live in England and I just wanna say that charity shopping can be amazing however it rly depends on what area you shop in. Pick the rich areas (people are more generous with their donations 😂) I’ve found some amazing pieces in charity shops near me! Even got a rly cute grey bonfire puffer coat (worth about £200) for £4.99 in a charity shop! Cxx
So true !!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 omg that is amazing
I LOVE YOU ALEXA, YOUR CHANNEL, STYLE, EVERYTHING😩❤️😻
I went thrifting today and I got so many items for DIRT CHEAP.
I got: (all in perfect shape😱❤️)
6 records
6 sweaters
1 flannel long sleeve
3 bags and 1 designer one. Eeeekk😍😂
2 polo sweaters
2 purses
Some binders 📚
2 mom jeans
Eeekkk I'm so happy 😂😂
It was my first time to😂😂
And I'm from the U.K😂
And now I live in RSA😂
OMG YAAAAAASSS!!!!!! That’s what’s up 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I live in England and would love to go thrift shopping but I get anxiety when I’m in charity shops so I dont
omds fr they often so empty or filled w a few oldies istg
I live in Scotland and i would never pay those prices god knows what kind of charity shops you went in they are usually far more cheaper. In the charity shops I go in you can get nike jumpers for £3-£4
I have a bad habit of thrifting (or ‘op shopping’ as it’s called in my country) 😂😂 every week I usually drop by the op shop on the way home from work and find something new and my boyfriend asks me every time it sees me in something I bought and asked if this is new? Technically yes and technically no 😂😂
If you're ever in the Netherlands, look up "vintage kilo sale" or "vintage rebel" on the internet. They organize vintage sales per kilo. You pay 15€ (16$) per 2 pounds and it doesn't matter how many pounds you buy.. they have it all.. and it's much more affordable!! This is how I buy vintage.. never in stores 🤗
F Mistah They are awesome, aren’t they? I just went to a vintage rebel sale literally yesterday 🤗
@@joyfullysimple yeah definitely they are!! I've known then for years and I am glad to see that they are getting the recognition they deserve!! What did you buy?? 😊
That sounds awesome!
F Mistah Two vintage blouses (probably from the 60s-70s), a 90s Ralph Lauren long sleeve polo and a sleeveless denim dress. I am obsessed! I also have a TH-cam channel but I haven’t yet gotten around to posting this haul yet. I saw that their next sale will be in Rotterdam but that’s too far ☹️
I didn’t know they have been around for so long!
the thrift game in my area is weak and it’s hurting me😪
Awwww oh gooosh 😭
I used to work in charity shops.
They do a rotation scheme.
So if you go in and see a date for example 10.05.2021 that will be the date they remove those things and get some new stuff to put on the shelfs.
Some places use colour stickers instead but the same thing is true.
So you could go in one day and find nothing then go in a few weeks later and find lots of things.
45 pounds for a vintage Levis jacket is expensive especially when you consider the conversion rate. Here in Toronto my favorite vintage/thrift store has racks upon racks of Levis jackets and jeans from $10 cad which is about $8 us.
I'm from Malaysia and its not easy to find thrift shops around here but there definitely is, with the help of Google. I usually go to this specific one, most of my hoodie and jackets are from there 😂 and they also have this ongoing promotion for tank tops! 3 for rm10. Some of the clothing items can be expensive since they're still in a good condition or branded. I love your videos Alexa, your thrifting videos inspired me to thrift again💕😘
Brighton and London are probably the most expensive places to charity shop, its best to go to smaller towns, also donation centres are the closest to American thrift shops, especially Barnardo's the big donation centre ones because most things are 99p in there 😁
Yeah though to be fair it depends where in London. I'm from Greater London and grew up going to charity shops and things can be super cheap it just depends where you are and which charity it is.
For example I'm in Ashford atm and there is a barnardos shop that has amazing stuff for so cheap but just across the road is the Princess Alice Hospice and their prices are so much more expensive lol
@@bums009 Yeah Same I'm in Greater Manchester and where I am is also dirt cheap compared to the city centre, its crazy how they hike the prices right up literally for couple miles in distance 🙂
My boyfriend has that dinosaur shirt but he put it in the wash with coloured clothes and it went grey 😥 take good care of it!! Xx
Next time you're in England, come to Manchester and have a look round the vintage shops in the Northern Quarter! And then wander out to the suburbs to look in the charity shops. I do get a lot of things from charity shops but it is hit and miss and a lot of effort.
Also worth noting that a lot of the best stuff that gets donated to charity shops isn't necessarily sold in store - some of them, like Oxfam, train their volunteers to filter out some of the most desirable items so they can sell them online, where they can potentially raise more funds from them than they could in store. Oxfam has its own thrifting website where you can search for what and find a lot more recognisable, popular brands from designer to high street.
I hope to go back thrifting in the UK next year! I may try to stay for longer because this trip was too short to be able to travel all around 😭
All my local charity shops are so bad and there are no vintage shops
Ahhh LOVE THISSSS. Next time you come to the UK I would really recommend independent charity shops which tend to be a bit cheaper - the bigger charities like British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research have a set amount that they need to charge for certain brands and so you'll normally be able to predict the prices in all their charity shops across the UK, they don't vary much (although my local one has great sales!). But independent chari shops (the Aladdin's cave type ones) tend to be a lot cheaper, mostly less than a fiver :-) Also gotta recommend jumble sales and carboot sales too, I went to a jumble sale yesterday where every item of clothing was 40p and I DIED (i got so much)
Carrie Gaunt how do you find where jumble sales are ?
I went charity shopping in Brighton a couple months ago and the prices are crazy!! I found some real bargains but also some crazy expensive stuff!!!
my best advice for u if u come back or anyone who lives in the UK, go to kilo sales! preloved kilo is my personal favourite, u get a lot of branded stuff for pretty cheap compared to vintage stores!≤3
There is a place in Cannock (located in Staffordshire) called new life it is huge and I reckon bigger than one in America
LC Panda_lover I literally live like 5 minutes from there!! Are you talking about the one near mcdonalds?
That underground shop looked amazing!
I LOVE that Harley Davidson shirt sfm!
it’s so weird watching a TH-camr I’ve watched for like ages in my home town ( Reading) 😂 it’s quite surreal
I’ve been charity shopping since I can remember (my nan and mum love it!) and the past couple years I’ve gotten into fashion I’ve been able to find A LOT of big brands and trendy items. Thankfully I live in a smaller town in the countryside and not the city like London so it’s not so picked over. Most of my finds however are from carboot sales and that’s where I mainly find branded pieces (usually anywhere from 50p to £2) so if you’re ever here again I would absolutely recommend a good ol’Boot sale😊 xx
That is amazing !!! Ah I want to go to a car boot sale so bad !!!
I’m from Norway 🇳🇴 and I love vintage and thrifting, but we don’t have that many vintage or thrift stores here but when we have they are usually quite expensive. Even private people selling for so much...
im studying in France for the semester and found some pretty cute thrift shops AND vintage shops...not only in Paris but in my little town of Aix !! gotta love the international thrift
Oh my days you went to Brighton !
I just wanted to add another comment for any UK-ers watching... Thrifting in the UK is 100% possible but you gotta know your shops, know your prices, go everywhere and also seek out car boot sales, jumble sales etc etc. For being in the UK for a week Alexa did super good!
EXACTLY 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
It’s so nice that you put in so much effort to include all of your subscribers! Tbh I’d say the charity shops are way more expensive in the south (London, Brighton etc) whereas in the north it’s way cheaper xxx
Love you lots :)
I saw a pair of pink checkered vans in a charity shop and they were only £4.50 but we’re a bit worn out (easily fixed)!
Also for itchy jumpers I got a white and black turtleneck - theyre pretty thin so i just pick whiche ever goes best with the jumper and bam no itch
Thanks for the insight! I haven never been to the UK, but would love to go. If you ever choose to thrift in Australia, I would love to show you around!!
There are a few places you can thrift USA style in the UK. There's a shop in Manchester just called Thrift Shop where I found loads of cool pieces for under £10 and 2 shops in London, East End Thrift Store and Mile End Vintage which are SUPER cheap but it's dirty dusty warehouse thrifting.
My favourite find was a coat that’s worth £89 for £7 !!! So chuffed with it
We have poor game. But that’s because we don’t have huge warehouses filled with lovely stuff. Can’t wait to go to America one day and thrift x
Yaay i am so happy for your new video. I was thrifting today and find some good pieces. Thrifting IS the best💗💗 Love youu. Hope you had an amazing time in England
HECK yes thrifting is everything! Not gonna lie I’m ready to do some damage at a thrift store back here in the US haha my appreciation has been renewed !!
@@alexasunshine83 i can't wait for another videoo
I've found some great stuff in charity shops, cancer research and oxfam are the bomb (especially on Bold Str in Liverpool)! Going to wear the rich people live is no.1 UK charity shopping tip for sure!!
😍😍😍❤️❤️!!!! Amazing video! You should do a video where Instagram controls your outfits for a week with polls. That would be great!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
there’s a cancer research near me and it is SO CHEAP. i got this vintage denim jack and jones hoodie for £2! and they also have vinyl and you can get 2 for £1! i found one record from 1934 that is a 78, and also a 78 from the 1950s. It’s crazy how i got them for 50p each!
My grandma works in a LOROS charity shop in Leicestershire and I sometimes have to help on saturdays and sundays and there is actually great clothes there. Like I got a really nice tshirt for £4.
I once baught my mam a new coat from a charity shop. It suits her lovely.
Unrelated but I found my first Harley Davidson item at the thrift store yesterday !! I gasped and I immediately thought of you 😂💞
I would’ve gone nuts over the vintage Disney section! 🙌
Primark in the UK is full of Disney things dirt cheap
It's so odd to see you where I grew up (Camden girl). I love charity shopping its my favourite thing to do.
Ive been looking forward to this all week
Awwwww !!!!!! I was so excited just to even edit this !!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
camden is such an amazing place i went there a couple months ago with my sister and my dad and some of the stores are so nice
I'm from the US, and I recently moved to the UK for school. I totally get the sticker shock from the vintage/charity shops over here. I'm so used to going to goodwill or plato's closet and getting cute stuff for a really good price.
If you ever find yourself in Sacramento, you should totally check out EcoThrift. They've got a huge store there. And if you haven't been there before, they do different deals every day based on the color coded price tags so one color will be 10% off, one will be 50% off, and one will be 75% (or something like that). I got a pair of shoes for a dollar there once!
I'm new to your channel, so I don't know where you've been thrifting before, and if you have been to EcoThrift before, you probably already know how awesome it is!
i couldnt belive my luck when i got a pair of almost new dr marten boots for £20 from the british heart foundation....best bargain ever
Lisa Herring Wowww I wish that was me ;-;
I live in Newcastle and have been to Middlesbrough a few times for the charity shops. If the shop is in a big city it will be very expensive.
Sometimes you have to travel a bit to find a cheaper.
I've found some betrix Potter books for 50p eatch.
Not sure if you went to other vintage shops in Brighton in the North Laine , there’s one called To be Worn again is amazing!!!!!
Im a UK charity shopper, like I literally buy 95% of my clothes in charity shops but it depends on the area for the pricing! Where I live in the midlands there's a few that I visit where everything is £1 :D
Ahhhh I need to go back to the UK and hit those up!!!!
If you go to a much smaller charity shop further away from London they’re much cheaper!
I’m going to do this with my cousin tomorrow
I think the second place she went too was on Brick lane, London
if you really want the cheap, cheap stuff you should go to a car boot sale they sell lots of cloths and other things
I live in a small town in Greater London, there are only 4 charity shops and they are all very small. Yet I always seem to find amazing clothes! You must have gone to more expensive ones as most clothes in local ones are about £1-3.
I need to come back !!!!!
