As for make up I buy new. 2nd hand books and toys and anything kitchen related fine too but usually in thrift stores I don't need what's there nor can I find what I'm looking for. I actually need to down size one or two pots now that I found one that fits what I was needing. Sigh. Need one? Teehee!

I used to buy magazines and newspapers etc. Now I read on line free, I use the charity shop or library. I bought a Radley handbag a couple of years ago half price second hand on eBay and I'll probably get the money back when I sell it. Most of my clothes/shoes are bought in the sales. I bet rarely pay full price.

I absolutely loved it and I've bought those packets of blancmange since then - they are on sale in our local Waitrose as we speak! Now I shall have to add a packet to my shopping list, you've whetted my appetite for it all over again! <br />Margaret P galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-86552412592456998532017-09-11T19:44:20.318+01:002017-09-11T19:44:20.318+01:00Sue, since I had problems with my blog and had an ...Sue, since I had problems with my blog and had an 'expert' change things for me (at quite an expense, I might add) I've been plagued by all kinds of emails, people trying to persuade me to 'monetize' my blog! I do not want to 'monetize' it, it's for fun, not for making money. Some of these people pretend to be readers, but you soon get an instinct for those comments which are Spam, don't you? <br /><br />I loved seeing your list of what you didn't buy! I'm just the opposite as you probably know - indeed, I keep the publishing industry afloat on a raft of newsprint (the daily paper, monthly magazines, always the Radio Times, loads of books both new and 2nd hand); I love and buy perfume, and make-up when required, and I spend a small fortune at the hairdresser's, but I seldom buy what might be described as trinkets or ornaments or anything which isn't, in the words of William Morris (and I paraphrase) either useful or beautiful (well, beautiful in my opinion). <br /><br />Also, I don't visit boot fairs - you have to get up early for those, ha ha! - and I don't visit the library (to my shame: I was once always in the various libraries in the Bay but now it's less expensive to buy books for one penny plus postage on Amazon than driving to town, paying for car parking and ordering a book from the library only to find, after waiting for ages for it, that you have to read it in record time as there's a waiting list ...) <br /><br />However, occasionally I will visit a charity shop (I have a favourite which is in a good part of town and more boutique than charity shop!) but mainly to hand things in rather than to buy things, but I've had some lovely finds, including a tea trolley which husband painted for our bed sitting room and the small TV now sits on that. <br /><br />In other words, I have my small indulgences but nonetheless I am a very careful shopper. <br /><br />Margaret P galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-20863957630258550762017-09-11T19:29:04.282+01:002017-09-11T19:29:04.282+01:00Why do I never find anything worth buying when I g...Why do I never find anything worth buying when I go to a Car Boot Sale when you always seem to root out bargains.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-28152054366568788332017-09-11T16:53:36.708+01:002017-09-11T16:53:36.708+01:00Great finds, I love a good car boot sale but since...Great finds, I love a good car boot sale but since moving they don't seem to have them.mamasmercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011278973985658118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-26762974524174909222017-09-11T16:02:32.497+01:002017-09-11T16:02:32.497+01:00Like you I find most of what I want at the car boo...Like you I find most of what I want at the car boots, why pay full price when you can find them cheap.

If I could find such bargains here I'd never buy one new again. There were so many really recent books in the charity shops and most really cheap! I found lots of craft magazines at one shop in Felixstowe and they were only 6 for a pound! Such a bargain.

I have had a visit from the Far Eastern spammers this morning but all one needs to do is ignore them on the old posts and delete on the current one. This is what I have done, and we all get them, no worries.<br /><br />I treat myself to Vogue every so often because I can't resist it even if I slouch about in shorts or jeans, my mother and I enjoyed the magazine together and it is one of my links with those times with her. As for the rest of the things in your list I do not buy them either, except just spotted makeup and I do buy make up when I pass through an airport, good quality and lasting for me for several years. I enjoyed the post and being able to read other comments again.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-67881607954344709302017-09-11T08:07:06.781+01:002017-09-11T08:07:06.781+01:00You got some bargains there.

I was going to say ...hope you had a lovely weekend. I was going to say 'out bargain hunting again', but then thought no, because it makes me look as if I'm saying you do that a lot, when I know you don't shop for the sake of it.<br />Once on the Gram, someone said to me 'don't tell me you're shopping again'. Which really annoyed me! I scrolled down and looked at my posts, I had pics of weekly shop most weeks, and then a few treats over the weeks, but not every day. So you are right, mention it a few times and there are some people who assume you do nothing but spend, when actually, I can go for weeks without spending anything other than on food. If that makes sense. <br /><br />Right. Better get on with the day. Have a lovely Monday xxSadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446043225149493179noreply@blogger.com
