COME THRIFTING WITH ME & MY CHARITY SHOP SECRETS TO FIND THE BEST BARGAINS! MR CARRINGTON

[@barbarawelborn6288]

I truly enjoy your program. It is a dream of mine to visit London some day--although I need to get with it since I am almost 80. Thank you for your wonderful pleasantness, great smiles, with a view of your homeland. Wishing you joy and blessings. Barbara W in Alabama, USA

[@samkennedy5554]

I get what you're saying about it being for charity, but that doesn't mean they should be putting ridiculous prices on stuff. Remember, they're getting this stuff for nothing. A lot of us used charity/secondhand shops due to low income, poverty etc etc. Now though some of them are literally taking the michael. And not all the money goes to some of these charities, just a percentage. That first shop was ridiculously priced 😲

[@janebruce6625]

@Pumpkin Pi Just saw your comment and I’m really surprised about all those managers etc , I have a friend that works in a children’s charity shop but all the staff are volunteers , I did know all the good quality goods are sold on eBay but what I’ve just read in your comments is a disgrace … I’m really shocked ….

[@MrCarrington]

Yes I agree a lot of pricing is too high, I was just meaning not to feel cheated parting with a little more money for quality items just because they are second hand

[@samkennedy5554]

@@MrCarrington I was definitely not taking a dig at you there Mr C, please don't think I was. I just get annoyed at some the shops now and their extortionate prices 😊

[@samkennedy5554]

@Pumpkin Pi it's disgusting isn't it 🤨

[@samkennedy5554]

@Pam GM exactly!

[@janettesinclair6279]

I think that the long Le Creuset dish would be for a terrine. Like a meatloaf but sliced cold.

[@gaynor3976]

I've followed Freya for almost 2 years now I think. Yours and Freyas videos are the first ones I watch on a Sunday. Charity shops have gone really expensive now. Loved the Coach bags and the jug with the ivy on it xx

[@blanchard5312]

Well, hello from Canada. I came across your channel randomly today. I watched your video where you went to a village flea/antiques market with a friend and a black lab puppy. I loved your comments & advice. You have the most wonderful voice and music tracks. I think that your comments regarding charity thrift shops are spot on. The person who winged about some ridiculous prices seemed of track. He doesn't have to go there nor does he have to buy anything with a price he doesn't want to pay. Keep up the great content.

[@sallywest5634]

Wow how did you not get tempted. I mentally spent sooo much. Love it when you take us on a thrift haul. I loved that table and I think it would have had to come home with me lol.

[@lesleyhollinshead3714]

I have volunteered in 2 different charity shops. The first one had a list of prices. If something was from Marks it would be priced higher than Primark for example. The other was a local one that supported our foodbank. We ad libbed the prices but nothing was that expensive and it was all going to that great cause. No one took a salary xx

[@FreyaFarrington]

how pretty were those autumn flowers/leaves from that florist! love! 😍 I would totally share that weekday shirt with tom!

[@MrCarrington]

I’m tempted to go back for it 😂 thanks for another fun collab 🙌❤️

Hi Mr carrington ,im from Freya's channel so popped across to check you out,loved your charity shopping loved that table fabulous .

[@kathybeck5957]

I saw so many things on this shopping trip that I liked and own. LOVED that orange and dark blue shacket. I also saw 2 pieces of uranium glass that I would have bought. THANKS!!! Have a GREAT DAY!!!!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

A lovely look around the he shops👌😊. I love that you didn't buy anything.. It shows that you are very careful to only buy what you need and not buy something for the sake of buying something 👏🤗

[@alexisjohnston6729]

The round table was absolutely fabulous! I don't usually like glass tops but it just made it... wow!

[@MrCarrington]

Loved it 🥰

[@jorobinson8835]

Love a charity shop video. I agree with lots of the comments - the charity shops have got so expensive now (particularly in London) - it's such a shame. I still love going in them though and trying to get a bargain.

[@twinsgran]

That le creuset dish is a terrine mould and they are specialty moulds ideal for creating pates terrines, Foie gras, Pate en Croute and many more gourmet dishes. Pates can be baked in a crust as a pie or without the crust.

[@katbar6066]

I actually thought it was a bit overpriced?

[@twinsgran]

@@katbar6066 me too. I buy a lot of le creuset at car boots to re-sell, and never pay more than £10 a piece.

[@katbar6066]

@@twinsgran I wish we had car boot sales here in Australia but I do look in Charity shops from time to time to see if there is any Le Creuset for sale. Sad to say too many people must have good taste and hang on to it as I have seen only 1 piece. I bought it too for a good price.

[@ElainaKendal]

I love charity shops! Everything from my furniture to my throws on my beds are second hand. The amount of amazing vintage stuff you can pick up is surprising! Always check out curtains, towels and jewellery as I’ve got some real bargains. Great video thanks 😊

[@suziknowles396]

Wow the prices! I spotted a box of Ikea glasses for £5. They are about £3 new in Ikea.

[@princessliz6201]

I went charity shopping yesterday and came out with quite a few bits, including a bright green coat for £8 and a couple of candle sticks.

[@nataliesmith303]

Sometimes it’s nice to browse and it doesn’t matter that you came back empty handed. Lovely video 😀

[@mariska21575]

That Le creuset is used for making paté&terrines I think,but you could also use it to make meatloaf

[@judyparmentier9699]

Everything looks great. Those window/balconies are amazing! Have a great weekend.

[@davidhickman262]

Yep, often come over and visit these Charity Shops also and have found some bargains over the years, Mind is good, and agree, it is pot luck with St. Christophers. I love decanters and have so many!!!

[@izzydavidson8323]

Beef Wellington, extra long loaf cakes and homemade breads. Anything wrapped in pastry that you slice etc for the Les Cruset £40 pot

I’d love to look round London charity shops for a change. I have mix and match glasses and plates. I prefer variety over everything matching.

Hi Mr c thanks 4 bringing us around the charity shops there were some nice bits in them, love going around the charity shops 4 a mooch u never know what treasures that u would find, take care enjoy the rest of ur weekend 😀♥️

[@anpj2006]

Hello Mr C, always wanted to have a good rummage in London charity shops but the prices WOW!

[@marygird7715]

Very nice designer bags in your charity shops. The kitchenware is also very nice quality items. I also thought that the wood round table is very nice

[@jennifersherwood1901]

Hello Mr Carrington. , I enjoyed this Vlog this morning . You should cone to my ones in Ruslip High street we have 7 here. What area were yours in ? I find quiet a lot of times the Charity Shops OVERPRICE things considering they were GIVEN it for free . If things are overpriced people aren’t going to pay it so, which will loose to a lost sale .I always say, ‘ keep the cost low and more pounds will appear for the shop’ . I find The Harlington Hospice shops have the cheapest prices and best things in . Have a nice Sunday.

[@AndreaGonzalez-ye6hg]

I often go ro ruislip charity shops love them great prices

[@kaz6655]

Fish dish I think lol the orange long dish. I loved the music

[@dmckim3174]

You are right, their prices are all over the map. Congratulations for coming home empty handed, it's hard to do sometimes. Looking forward to seeing how the loft conversion is coming along.

[@sandraholland5663]

Love watching your videos Mr Carrington and Freya’s. I never seem to find anything in my charity shops. Wish I stayed in a city as think that makes a difference. I thought the first shop you were in was very expensive. I loved the Winnie the Pooh plates. Your charity shops have lots of lovely things in them. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week 🥰

[@vintageresalemama903]

One of the perks of living in a big city is the large number of resale/charity shops. I loved shopping along with you. Those Winnie the Pooh plates were adorable!

[@NANov5]

Happy sunday mr c , ooooh that table 👍, first shop over priced ano its for charity but some people do shop in charity shops on a budget £5 for 1 glass 😬, great video ty 💙

[@RIXRADvidz]

I have a friend that goes into the shoppes and picks up canvasses for pennies and uses them to paint his own art over the already bad art. stretched prepared canvas in an art store is very expensive. in the thrift stores/junque shoppes/charity shops the art is priced at less than $10, that's money in your pocket as a painter.

[@MrCarrington]

Fab idea

[@Rachel-rn9nj]

Loved the shacket in the second shop nice Autumn colours and would have suited you so well , have another think about that one before it goes . I saw that lovely black Labrador in the first shop beat you and was just coming out of the next one when you got there. Expensive , but to be expected in London. Charity shops in South Wales are a lot cheaper and you get get some great bargains.

[@sarahbarker8198]

Hi I always love a charity shop ,we have some amazing ones in Leeds.But I've been on holiday in the UK and found the charity shops were so expensive .One shop though was really good for new items and we're selling a large amount of Zara clothes new with tags on that were this season too.They had men's ,woman's and kids stuff.They were in the heart foundation and said they were getting them every week .A lot cheaper than Zara and some really nice items too.They said Various shops were chosen so I'm hoping one of my local ones are doing this too.Maybe your is , definitely worth a look.Some charity shops need to watch their prices as people won't pay it especially if there is other ones around that are more reasonable . Looking forward to seeing whatever you decide to do next.

[@denises9426]

You’re absolutely right Mr. Carrington, the money is going to charity so I don’t mind spending a little more either. Great vlog as always! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@sandravellaattard7779]

All our charity shops have really uped the prices im gessing its due to covid but they gone from bargin prices to more than in main shops like used primark items are marked at around same price they would have been new or more that new cost

[@elliesuttey1721]

Great vlog Mr C ….. Thanks for taking us around your local charity stores always interesting to see what’s in store 👏🏻♥️xxx x

[@SuperAxlgirl]

Always excited to see your charity shop videos.

[@heathermurray9939]

18 months ago I had a big sort out of lots of different things, I donated a lot to a local charity shop that supports families in need ( as they give things to families in need for free) I gave a lot of my costume jewellery to our local " Hospice at home shop " so they can sell to raise money for the hospice, as they rely on donations for the hospice to keep it open, we have a local adult and children hospice. Big stores like M&S donate stock that they can't sell, even after having sales.

[@zoeemiko8149]

That tin you were talking about for 40. is for baking hard crust artisan bread. New that particular one runs about 130. Not a bad deal since it was in perfect condition.

[@MrCarrington]

Oh wow

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

[@juliepearson1685]

Hi Mr c I loved all them Wallace and gromit plates.!

[@annalevermore7857]

I find some charity shops charge more for Primark donations than Primark does in store! Sadly one of my local shoe/clothes bank is so full up you can't open the door. The community centre it's on the site with have phoned to get it collected but never do. Sad.

[@julianarevill6166]

Loved going round the charity shop's with you, it's something I do often, but I couldn't see the prices very well to compare the prices to were I live. Prices have gone up so much in the last few year's, ever since they noticed we were buying to up-cycle to sell, is what I do, but to be honest with you, no ones buy's anything newer day's, I find it a wast of time, so instead I buy for me and my home now. Xx

[@janenicholls3572]

Very interesting video mr.C as an avid charity shop shopper to see the price difference from London to where I live (the midlands) is way different. I was in a shop yesterday and saw six cocktail glasses for a £1. The same shop is where I got my settee from and that cost me £20! My top tip would be bring an item home put an item in a charity bag.that way you don’t get too cluttered in the wardrobe and you are giving back too.

[@MrCarrington]

That sounds like a great charity shop! Love that tip

[@rachelmayes298]

Wow, what an array of amazing charity shops. Ours are very small and just full of rubbish. If I lived where you lived I’d be in these shops all the time.

[@gloriahanes5338]

Thrift stores in America are quite high as well equal to the prices in England due to Covid and store closures in 2020. 14:21 ...1999 vintage pieces I would think 1950 to be vintage, but then again you are young enough to be my grandson.

[@ehpeachylove]

Good morning Iwan. It was fun going on this trip with you. Loved that round glass topped table and would have purchased it for sure. I went thrift shopping this last week, found a water color painting that some one did of a restaurant scene in Paris for $3.49 but the artist didn’t sign it. Now it’s on the wall in my dining room. A few other nice bits too. Have a great week my friend. 🙏❤️✨☮️😘🏠💐☀️🇺🇸

[@Primarniqueen]

I think some have no idea on pricing .I saw primark things for the same or more in my charity shop. I find certain ones are dearer.

[@samgould9930]

Wow that 1st shop is taking the Mickey with the prices 😳

[@timothypeacock2737]

You would make and store pate in the long orange container with lid. Rebecca x

[@onecraftygal1740]

I'm glad you looked at the le creuset. It is definitely meant for breads, quick breads like banana bread etc. That was actually a good price. I'm in the U.S and those go for well over $100 U.S dollars. I've noticed in general that London thrift store prices are more than U.S thrift stores. That being said your stores seems to have nicer things.

[@catherinebarlow3079]

The le creuset not for making breads etc in it it's for making pate or stuffing in have good day am in UK

[@onecraftygal1740]

It's also worth bearing in mind that some of the high street brands also donate , like m&s , Cath Kinston , Emma Bridgewater , Aldi , Primark . Especially around Christmas time . Yes some chairty shops do seam to be over priced on different things. It can be off putting yet works the other way round to ! What may seam affordable for one may not be for another !

Charity begins at home and a lot if these shops should be mindful of that. Many families are struggling financially in these times so a little bit of thought would go a long way.
