For a Christmas present £1 - My Essex friend likes traditional ways of doing things, including using proper handkerchiefs.
Pack of 6 suet blocks for the birds £2
2 Christmas Bags, 50p each for Granddaughters who will probably get a bag full of crafting bits.
A pack of 5 new flannels £2 - they were wrapped and tied with a ribbon but I forgot to photograph
Exciting..........a new loo brush! and a bag of heavy duty rubbish bags - £1 each.
50p each for two shower scrubby things - do they have a proper name? Don't think I saved much money for these.
And something from a charity shop that will be part of YGDs birthday present. £2.50 for a pretty photo frame.
All useful without breaking the bank.
That's a wonderful haul! Those hankies are really pretty (I'm a traditionalist too).
ReplyDeleteAfter a bad experience when newly married with mens hankies/nasty cold, I've never used real hankies again!
DeleteGosh I haven’t seen embroidered hankies for a long time- not even in the ‘cheap’ discount shops
ReplyDeleteI remember, as a small child, being given a box of hankies every Christmas from a Great Aunt - I probably would have preferred toys!
DeleteGreat bargains. I think they are called shower puffs
ReplyDeleteI don't think they were much of a bargain as I'd not realised one was really small
DeleteI have the same set of hankies, bought in a charity shop and they're a good quality, heavier cotton than some. I prefer proper hankies too.
ReplyDeleteThe bundle of flannels was a bargain too, a good haul all round.

Hope my friend likes the hankies.
DeleteSome good bargains there. The flannels caught my eye, they look good quality.

I put them through a wash and they are still thick and fluffy very handy
DeleteThey are all very useful, and those bathroom scrubbies are at least £1 each from the cheaper shops, more for a good one. I used to buy those lovely packs of hankies from carboot sales etc to turn into envelope style lavender bags when I had my gift shop.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to look in Superdrug when I was in there today to see what the price of the shower puffs are.
DeleteI bet your lavender bags sold well- they sound lovely
You have a good eye for bargains, Sue!
ReplyDeleteThe treasure in among the huge amount of tat!
DeleteYou'll have to go to this particular sale/seller again. Finding many very useful items all at great prices does not always happen. Everything looks great.

A loo brush for £1 is a good bargain! I'd have bought a couple of those!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have car boot sales here, just the occasional yard sale or church rummage sale. You find the best buys!
