Brighton Bargains

I've been staying at my brother's house since last Saturday; and so I've been sussing out the local St Vincent De Paul's charity store over the last few days.  
A few days ago, I took Jay - the family dog - for a good long walk to the place and when we got there, I tied her up outside it and went inside.  I found a nice teapot and cups set.  But I didn't want to be juggling the dog and the set and end up dropping it.  So, when I was there on that day, with Jay, I only bought a pair of knitting needles for .50c.
Today, I was there again - this time - without Jay and I found the teapot set was still there!  So, I snaffled it for myself for $8.00.  It's a nice set; made in Korea, and I've had to soak it in hot water and detergent to get the sticky tape and price tags off.  That's how long it's been sitting in this particular Vinnies store.  This place has it's ups and downs... but I do like how clean it is.  The people are very organised too.  Well, until next time, happy bargain hunting!
