Although if I had a bottomless purse I could have bought toys for grandchildren to last them for the next 10 years and enough children's books to stock several libraries!
Instead I came away with just 4 things
A large photo frame with four spaces now I have four grandchildren was £1. The tin of 4 puzzles and the clock fit-together thing were to take to Youngest Granddaughter as I was going there for lunch but my favourite find was the Mediterranean Cheese Making Kit. "It's not been opened and its out of date" The lady said when I asked how much and I was expecting her to say it was several £'s but when she said £3 my purse opened quite quickly! . After putting my glasses on I found the Best Before date was 1st August 2020 - so only 1 day over!
I used to make a soft goats cheese quite often when we had plenty of milk and also a paneer type cheese too and thought it would be fun to see what this kit does. (Just looked on Amazon - this kit retails for £27.50 !!!)
I still haven't got round to writing a list of things to look for but remembered to search for a tin-opener - although it might be better to buy a brand new one anyway, to be sure it's OK. I do have a tin opener but it's sometimes temperamental so put one on my mental "look for" list. Perhaps next week - weather permitting.
Back Tomorrow

i did potter off to the local car boot , its grown immensely but this week it was very crowded even before 8am , i dont need a thing its just to get out and i spent all of a £1 with the entrance fee
ReplyDeleteFree entry at boot sales round here - thankfully
Deleteyou scored well with the cheese making kit then! Bargain with the frame too.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased with both things - picked out amongst all the rubbishy stuff
DeleteI don't think there are any car boot sales being held this year - I know Burry Port definitely isn't. I am envious of your being able to go again. You had some good finds, especially the cheese making kit. I look forward to seeing what you produce.
ReplyDeleteOne running in id Suffolk and one where we used to live - but 2 others not happening at all
DeleteLooking forward to seeing your cheese.
ReplyDeleteNeed to look for gold top milk next time I'm out
DeleteThe cheese making kit was a great buy! I bought one from the company who make them for my daughter and her partner at Christmas. They had great fun with it during lockdown and were very pleased with the results.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds fascinating and I look forward to hearing how it all makes up. Well worth going, wasn't it?
ReplyDeletexx
I need gold top milk for some recipes - don't even know if its sold anywhere now - suppose it must be
DeleteSo pleased you went to the car boot we don't have any in our village, Your buys were brilliant and look forward to seeing the photos.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the day,

Luckily this boot sale is only a few miles away through the back roads so a quick journey
DeleteI would have homed in on the childs clock and the picture frame.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be selective at car boot sales, it's oh so easy to get carried away when things are being sold so cheaply and you got some real bargains there. The grand children will look lovely all in that photo frame, a bargain at a pound!!
ReplyDeleteThought I'd better swap my 3 space frame for four space so the youngest two don't always have to be in the same photo
DeleteCar boot sales are great for children's toys. I love that little clock. X
ReplyDeleteI could have spent a fortune on toys seemed to be even more than usual
DeleteThe cheese kit looks interesting. We have a village yard sale here on Saturday
ReplyDeleteHope you get to have a look round the yard sales
DeleteBrilliant bargains there, Sue, although I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to do with the cheese kit! Love the little clock.
ReplyDeleteThe kit comes with instructions and everything except milk
DeleteHere they're called flea markets. I've probably been to one total. Can't get husband to stop. "What do we need with more junk?" He says. Did see an antique store yesterday in a town south of here that looked charming. I said I'd have to come back on my own to visit it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ventured to one yet, everytime I've thought about it it's either been too windy or a fine drizzle.
ReplyDeleteI got a nearly new Dyson for a tenner works brilliant too
ReplyDeleteA really good bargain
DeleteI love the clock. It looks really well made as well as being very cute.
ReplyDeleteIn my area (Florida) a huge family-run flea market has gone out of business. It’s been here most of my life so it’s very sad.
The cheese making kit looks interesting and was a great bargain. I bet your grandchildren have a lovely collection of toys and books that you've found on your car boot outings. xx
ReplyDeleteI love that little clock.
ReplyDeleteYou have some good finds from that outing.
ReplyDeleteI need a list for Op shop browsing, so I put items in the notes section of my mobile phone...then the list doesn't get left at home.😁
Great deal on the cheese making kit. The clock is so cute.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
What fab finds, and it was good that you thought the social distancing was adequate. We just had quite the fiasco here in a neighboring town when they did a town wide yard sale - so many COVID cases from that event that they made the national news - not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteFriend L and I are dying to go thrifting, but will wait a bit longer. Maybe once the kids are back in school. You seem to be able to spot a good buy as well as L.
