Super Saver is a cheap thrift shop at the bottom of Bexleyheath Broadway away from the main…read moreshopping mall. This shop holds some stock which I haven't seen in other discount stores, namely some brightly coloured containers which have a 60s looking hippy pattern on and some moving noisy pictures (such as pictures of the ocean with ocean sounds which are quite soothing) which are ideal ornaments for living rooms. A small selection of tools and DIY materials can also be found on the shelves. I liked the smell of this shop, obviously the owners have burnt some incense to give the shop a nice, calming aroma and make it welcoming and comfortable. Despite the appearance of the shop, it is not a pound shop but it is still significantly cheaper than supermarkets and other household stores. It is small and not good if you have the kids with you as there is plenty which they can knock off the shelves and break. Parking is nearby at the bowling alley or pay and display around the corner should you wish to load your goods into the car as near to the shop as possible. Wardens patrol the area regularly so resist giving into that "I'll only be a minute" mentality which catches so many people out.

I really do love exploring and browsing book stores, even though I pretty much have everything I…read morewant (though I do end up finding stuff that I want). Anyway, yeah, this was a pretty cool bookshop, and there were a lot of interesting books here. Honestly, I could spend hours here.

Not that I consider myself a bookshop connoisseur as such, but I always love to check out…read moresecond-hand bookshops when I travel. This is in my top 3 bookshops I've ever visited (the other two, in case you were wondering: Shakespeare & Sons, Prague, and The Last Bookstore, Los Angeles). This place had thousands of books, with that old book smell that I love. The store seems to go on forever, and there are so many nooks and crannies filled with more books! I particularly loved the old books section; we got some classics (Jane Austen, DH Lawrence, Charles Dickens and Victor Hugo) that were editions published in the early 1900s for £3-£5. My husband raided the sci-fi section while I raided the general fiction and we came up with another 9 books between us, all between 99p and £3, and all good quality. We were only able to spend 1 hour in there. It wasn't enough. I felt rushed. I needed more time! Living in London, Rochester is only 45 minutes away. I'll be back. The guy who I believe is the owner, was friendly and sweet. This is such a great find. FYI a lot of Rochester high street is filled with little independent stores, it's a really lovely place to visit!

Ellenor Hospice Care Shop is a very large charity shop on the High Street which sells almost…read moreeverything you might need for a home such as 3 piece suites, tables, shelving units and ornaments and vases along with books, toys and games. All goods are second hand and vary in quality (stock also varies depending on what people donate) but there are some real bargains to be had in here with the added bonus that the money goes to charity. There is plenty of room to roam and space isn't an issue. In fact it can be quite fun having a look and seeing what stock is available, a little like being at a boot sale without the dodgy donut stalls or mud. There is not parking available next to the shop but it is possible to either park in the retail park opposite or in the large Sainsbury's car park around the corner.

This charity shop is huge and has everything - clothes, shoes, games, toys, books, records, DVD,…read moreCDs, tables, plates...the list goes on and on. I love to come and pick up some books or a puzzle, and they do have quite a good selection of books if you take the time to look. Although I haven't purchased any clothes from here, they do look like good quality. I might have to have a proper look next time! They also take donations and I usually like to drop a few books off before I buy a few more. There is also parking outside, which makes it really easy to quickly run in and drop stuff off.

This charity shop sells all kinds of furniture, from beds to sofa's, as well as electrical goods…read morelike fridges, TV's and the like. Everything is reasonably priced and the staff are very friendly, going above and beyond what you'd expect. I'd definitely recommend this place to students needing to furnish a flat, there are some good bargains to be found if you look around and the prices have some room to manoeuvre, especially if you're getting a few bits. They offer delivery on large items through their van drivers, and also do house clearances for people who are getting rid of furniture.

The British heart foundation at Sidcup has 2 shops, one selling the normal array of clothes, bric a…read morebrac and dvds etc and the other selling electricals, household goods and furniture. Both shops are well laid out. The clothes are high end prices and a bit too dear for me but the furniture shop is amazing and has so many bargains I can't list them all here but it's easy to pick up a tv for £20, a dishwasher for £50 and a bookcase for under a tenner. The upstairs is not accesible for wheelchair users or anyone who can't climb stairs. The shop can be accessed for the high street or the best bet is to park in Morrisons and walk down the stairs as the car park is behind the shop.
