A way to cut expenses and other United Kingdom Shopping Tips

Name of Shop: Oxfam, Cancer Research, Red Cross etc

In many cities you can find the Oxfam shops, sometimes also second hand shops in which the proceeds go to animal shelters or other charity organizations, Cancer Research, Red Cross etc
Take your time and browse in these stores, you never know what you'll find. They sell just about anything, books, old records, toys, china, you name it. Some of it is even brandnew, apparently donated by some companies.
It's a great way to cut expenses. I found several nice gifts in these stores, also books, which had been out of print for a long time. If you want to get a book to read on a long train journey, you can grab one in these stores, if you don't want to keep it, give it to a charity store in the next city.
Don't pass these stores just because their ads aren't as big and flashy as some of the high street stores.


What To Pay: The prices are set, starting from 10 p. I've never seen anyone haggle, but often people pay more. After all, it's all for a good cause.
