Default Overpriced charity shops?

So I thought I'd buy a cheapo winter coat as it's, well...nearly winter. ;0)

I looked on Ebay and there were some good coats between £12-£20. Brand new. Delivery in two working days. Free shipping.

Before I bought one, I thought I'd visit the charity shops and see if there were any bargains there. It's about 3 years since I've been in one but what a shock.

A dull shirt with a missing button and frayed collar £4.50.

A pair of old shoes some old goat had worn and sweated their feet in, the cost? An incredible £8.

Then I turned to the coats. A fake leather jacket for £25. . Loose stitching inside. An over-washed fleece, £11.

No surprise, I left. Pronto.
