I remember i used to get things for £3 at the most, just 3 or 4 years ago, and now prices are generally more like £6 to £8 for clothes and shoes. Charity shops are getting less stock though and have to compete with low cost high street shops so i understand why, but it still doesn't feel right to charge such high prices. <br />This week i managed to spend just £5.50 on 6 books, i can always find cheap books!<br />Aqeela xxAqeelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002608982845056769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015030219140669520.post-52895888476590187382012-03-19T20:30:13.654+00:002012-03-19T20:30:13.654+00:00Ooh those shoes are gorgeous! - both pairs!

Both skirts and your heeled shoes are lovely too.<br /><br />I don't know whether prices are coming down, I think it depends on the style of charity shop. I prefer to donate to places that will sell for a good price, rather than shops that underprice.
