As the cost of living continues to burden many individuals in the United Kingdom, a rising number of people are turning to thrift stores to hunt for deals, especially as the holiday season approaches.
Becky, who goes by the handle @beckysbazaar on Instagram, is renowned for her love of charity shopping and frequently showcases her budget-friendly discoveries to her 354,000 followers on the platform. In her most recent post, she documented her visit to a St Rocco’s Hospice charity shop where customers could fill bags with items for a mere £5. At the beginning of the video, Becky excitedly mentions, “This charity shop is offering a fill-a-bag deal for £5, let’s see what treasures we can uncover.”
The shop attendant instructs customers to ensure the bags are securely tied to prevent overstuffing, emphasizing that everything in the store is fair game to be included.
Becky remarks on the size of the bag, expressing surprise at its spaciousness, and showcases her first find, an Under Armour hoodie. Additionally, she reveals her mother’s discovery of Nike shorts.
Following the hoodie, Becky adds a Peruna cover-up to her bag, exclaiming her fondness for the item. Juggling multiple items, she jokes, “I’ve accumulated so much already, my arm might fall off.”
Among her haul, Becky includes a vintage baby T-shirt from Next and admires a pair of Red or Dead heels from the shoe section, contemplating how to fit them into the bag.
Other items that Becky adds to her bag are an Adidas polo shirt, an H&M top, a Per Una cami top, a vintage Next shirt, and a vintage Oasis cardigan/jacket.
Admitting to requiring a second bag, Becky mentions her excitement over her findings, including a brand-new H&M dress and Manchester United shorts discovered by her mother.
She further showcases miscellaneous items, such as a metal storage basket, all of which she managed to squeeze into her three bags, totaling a £15 expenditure, culminating in a triumphant “woo” as she finalizes the purchase.
In her caption, Becky reflects on the enjoyable experience of bagging numerous items for a mere £15, prompting her followers to consider if they would also seize the opportunity to purchase a £5 bag.
The post garnered significant attention, amassing over 18,000 likes from enthusiastic viewers.
Commenters praised the initiative, with one individual remarking, “That is fantastic! A brilliant strategy to clear stock without resorting to disposal.”
Another user added, “A brilliant concept. Impressive finds.”
