I'm not entirely sure who benefits from the profits turned at the Goodwill Thrift Shop, though as a…read morechild of the 90s I can appreciate an all encompassing concept of Goodwill for the sake of itself as a motivation for charity. Here is another one of those Tardis-style shops that look small on the street and seem to go on and on forever once inside. TGS definitely had the most diverse offering on display, with clothes and books kept to the front, furniture and handbags on the next level up, and childrens toys (some of which were still in the box) at the very back. As always the prices were encouraging -most of the childrens' goods were about €1, while skirts and trousers came in around the €5 / €10 mark. It was bright, it was busy and there was plenty to choose from. Whom ever this shop is supporting, I'm delighted to help out!

Regardless of the elated feeling you get when you part with clothes or items that you have no need for anymore, it has to be said the absolute joy and gratitude that I received for that donation was so worth it. I'm hooked now, I did another drop off this morning - soon I will be naked.

Great, ornate window displays and a plethora of books, Enable is the diamond in the rough of the George/Aungier street charity shops. I got a few great records here about a year back and kept returning as they have probably the strongest selection of cds out of all Dublin's charity shops. Loads of women's clothes, but fellas, not so much.

Enable Ireland is such a great charity shop. First, I must agree with Laura that their window…read moredisplays are really well-thought out. On the plus side, they're usually not so scary. They're fantastic because not only are they color-coordinated, but they give some really amazing ideas of the kind of fashionable ensembles that you can put together from items at a charity shop. That, my friends, is an art. The fact that every Enable Ireland window looks so great makes me think they might have a full-time creative director on their side. Kudos to this genius, whoever they may be. Anyway, inside the merchandise isn't quite as impressive, but given the window's dose of inspiration it's not terribly difficult to find something that'll do. They sell clothes for men, women and children and all of the prices are fantastic. Oh and they have a really awesome selection of books that are sooo cheap. I couldn't believe some of the finds there, and am currently building a library purely from Enable Ireland!

A lot of trendy kids come here looking for vintage and second-hand clothes. Oxfam doesn't always deliver but it's worth having a look because every once and a while you'll walk out with an original piece that costs peanuts. An interesting thing about this place is that on occasion it sells low cost wedding ware. The wedding dresses are for the most part (95% of the time) new and are donated by designers or retailers. Sometimes, people bring in their dresses after their wedding day. Of course, this Oxfam accepts other clothes as well. People who are interested in giving away casual attire can drop down their old stuff, but the items need to be cleaned first.

I bought a pair of brand new, never worn sandals (the label was still on them) from Faith there over the summer for a mere €15. I reckon they were worth at least €50. There is a very good selection of books in there as well, although they can sometimes be a little on the dear side, considering they are second hand. The only other issue I have is that they colour-co-ordinate the clothes so you have to rummage through everything instead of being able to go straight to the jacket section for example. But if you have time on your hands, there's nothing like rummaging for a bargain and Oxfam in Phibsboro is an ideal spot to do it. Great staff too, by the way - always helpful and pleasant.
