I admit there is a lot of stuff in them that I wouldn't go near - old worn out stuff. But you sure can pick up some bargains.

I even got a brand new (still with label on) pair of M & S trousers. label price £19.99, Oxfam price £4.99.

Best ones are in 'upmarket' areas. I was in one in Scotland after our log cabin trip.

The lady in the shop said she would never have dreamed of shopping in charity shops (snobby), until she started working there; now she rarely shops anywhere else.

Crombie coats

Look at the retail price of my £25 coat ! I don't think it had ever been worn - dead man's clothes maybe
