When was the last time you donated to an op shop?

[Caramello]

When we moved 2 years ago, we did a huge number of runs to Salvos, Vinnies and the Smith family bins - so many I've blocked it out LOL.

Last Christmas I went through the Manchester cupboard and got rid of a huge number of sheets and towels that we'd had since our wedding and had not been used.

We regularly cull clothes from our wardrobe - actually the time is coming shortly to do another cull...

CrystalBoo - we were told the same thing too by our neighbour but DH and I decided that we were gaining good karma by giving things away and if someone wanted to steal/take something for less than its value, that was that person's lookout.

ETA actually this thread is very timely as they had a report on the news tonight about people dumping rubbish outside charity shops, as well as people going through anything thats left overnight and stealing it. We see it all the time outside our local Vinnies - usually clothes strewn from one side of the footpath to the other. Feel sorry for the workers having to continually sort through it. The charity shop suggested people donate during office hours to stop both of these problems.
