Car-boot sale season is all over for another year and these were my last few purchases - all came out of the boxes of house clearance stuff.
50p for a pack of envelopes.
50p each for almost full pack of baking parchment and small fridge/freezer bags.
£1 for 3 cards and £1 for soap
Not a bad haul!
ReplyDeleteAll useful things
DeleteJust what you needed. The house clearance chaps round here just have furniture and ephemera, not practical kitchen stuff. I don't know what they do with that. Bin it I assume, which is a pity.
ReplyDeleteThere have been more and more house clearance people at the Needham Market boot sale as the year has gone on. Must be worth their while - some come from 40 miles away to sell
DeleteThe greetings cards look attractive and that's a bargain price. It makes me grind my teeth when I see one I like in a shop and it costs £3! I don't buy at that price.

The cards were originally from a Cancer Research charity shop which we no longer have locally - sadly - as I used to get Christmas cards from them but I expect they are more than 3 for £1 now.
DeleteI agree with Penny, greeting cards can be so expensive
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky in finding cards at boot-sales and still make a few.
DeleteI would have thought that envelopes are almost extinct now given the price of stamps. Don't buy too much it all has to be packed away.
ReplyDeleteNothing large to pack - all little things to go in with other stuff and no more boot sales now
DeleteVery useful finds and envelopes are always useful for storage of little items. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI made sure not to buy anything that wouldn't fit in a box. Actually didn't see anything else needed or wanted all month.
DeleteSome good savings there, look after the pennies …….

I do like to save pennies!
DeleteThose are all useful items. I wonder how the boot sales will be near your new home??!
ReplyDeleteA small Sunday one will be close enough to visit just a few miles - not as good as my local two here though.
DeleteThere is a Huge Sunday market/boot sale that will be 16 miles away - a bit too far for every week although it's not far from several big stores for shopping.
Good finds!
ReplyDeleteHopefully the sales in your new location will be equally as good. It will be fun to explore them, good or not.

All very sensible finds, and really useful. Here's to next year then, it really is the end of the season isn't it.
ReplyDeleteHouse clearance really isn't business here and finds like those don't seem to make it into charity shops. Families absorb them or throw it into bins I guess. Charity shops are quite big business though - and something called ReUse shops - usually set up at or very near Myniciplee waste processing places (tip or dump to me - now called Refuse Transfer or Resource Recovery stations - eyeroll)
ReplyDeleteMuniciple 🙄
ReplyDeleteNice haul for the last of the boot sales. I have heard good things about Simple.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Some nice useful items. It's always good to have a walk around and a good look.
