Great thread Rouge

We have a red jeep shopping trolly type thing that is our family "To Go To The Op Shop" receptacle. Once it's full DD and I take it up to our local Savers op shop. Then we go in and have a look around and try to only come back with it half full! ROFL! If I had a set of unwanted glasses it would go to Savers. I would never chuck out something that is at all vagely useful. I have a real Depression mindset.... maybe inherited from my grandparents (who lived through it as they are in their 80s and 90s).

Savers has an affiliation to Diabetes and Kidney research i think... so that's where my money goes I guess. I love how they give you a loyalty card and every time you donate you get a percentage off your next purchase. You can also use your EFTPOS cards there.... and their stores are huge (big and bright like a department store) with trollies and everything sorted on shelves so there is minimal rummaging and looking for right sizes and colours. Womens tops for example are sorted onto racks according to size, colour and whether they are short or long sleeve. They also aren't too expensive. Some of my favourite pieces of clothing have come from Op Shops. I also like how shopping at Op shops minimses demand and saves the world's resources.
