Despite the weather yesterday morning, we decided to get up early and have a wander round our local car boot sale and I’m so pleased we did as we got some real bargains.
In fact, I’m so pleased with my bargains, I decided to join in with the lovely @missielizzieb’s Magpie Monday so I could show off share them with you all.
First up, I managed to find two lovely dresses for Miss Frugal from Next for £1.00 each, the pictures don’t do them justice at all as they are gorgeous and look lovely on. We also got a job lot of Lego with five mini figures in it for 50p and a brilliant game marble maze game that we’ve had loads of fun with this afternoon, also for just 50p. On our way out we walked passed a lady who was marking everything down and we managed to get 13 cuddly toys for £1.00 – this included two hand puppets and a few brand new teddies.
I know what you’re thinking, they’re OK bargains but nothing amazing. Wait till you see what else I got!
I got one of those V Tech Kiddizoom cameras in excellent condition for £4.00, a pair of shiny pink Birkenstock sandals for £3.00, a Batman wallet for Master Frugal for just 20p and what else did I get? Oh yes, a pair of GHD straighteners for just £4.00! And they’re pink.
See why I’m pleased with myself 😉

How funny, the dress on the left I got in the charity shop I volunteer in. We were going away for the weekend and my DD wore it on a night out while we were away. She only wore it once so I donated it back!
Aw that's good recycling 😉
I love a good car boot sale, though I have not been to any this year so far. Glad to see you have found some great items at the one you attended
You should get yourself to one this weekend – supposed to be lovely weather x
You have done SPLENDIDLY! Can't believe you spent pennies and got so much stuff.
My local car boot has gotten a bit popular and seems to have hiked it's prices- Boooo 🙁
That's a shame – time to find a new local maybe?
I'm amazed at all the fantastic bargains you found! I haven't been to a car boot sale since I was a child! I used to love coming home with lots of new toys to play with! I have the next couple sundays off so will definitely take a trip down to the local market and see what fabulous bargains I can find!
