I LOVE charity shops and Fishponds Road has plenty to choose from which is great.
Okay so this one isn't full of hidden treasures and no it doesn't have a great shop layout or stylish front window design BUT what Barnardos does do well is everything is £1.99 so you can really pick up a bargain.
I went there looking for some light natural trousers for an up and coming holiday and came away with a 100% cotton pair from M&S that looked brand new and a linen pair and only spent £3.98!!!
So all you other charity shops out there with your fancy layouts and store windows, take a leaf out if Barnardos book. It may be like a jumble sale in there but it's cheap and that's what I want from a Charity shop! read more
