Alas! A non commercial charity shop that hasn't started charging ridiculous prices for its stock!…read moreMuch unlike the highly overprices Oxfam's and Banardo's that plague the high streets, animal rescue is a very reasonably priced, honest, friendly charity shop. The shop is pretty big in terms of standard sized charity shops, and they have a wide range of stock inside. This ranges from women's and men's clothes, to books, CD's, DVD's, computer games, board games, ornaments, vinyl, cassettes and other random bits and bobs. All the VHS videos are 50p each and they seem to get loads of them in. It's pretty cool routing through them all because there are some that never made it to DVD and they're worth a watch if you still have a VHS machine. These include old music videos which may be a gem for an avid music collector!

This is an excellent independent charity shop situated on Aigburth Road. It is a large shop and is…read morefilled with all sorts of bits and pieces you wont find elsewhere. It has an excellent range of stock including men, women and children's clothing. They have a large selection of books of all types. I like the selection of board games where you can pick up an old game for next to nothing and be a bit nostalgic with your friends. Other items include ornaments, toys, jewellery, records, tapes, Cd's and textiles. Everything here is very cheap. You won't pay more than £1 for most items, and if something is more its usually a good as new piece of clothing. The staff here are lovely and happy to leave you to mooch around for as long as you like.

Kind Charity Shop in Bold Street is one of the largest charity shops I have been to. In here they…read moresell a charming collection of items that make the perfect little gift. Anything from mugs, 'The Beatles' picture frames and football memorabilia, they have here. The shop is quite spacious with several welcoming staff that greet you with a smile each time you enter. All prices in general are cheap with all funds going towards a good cause for helping local families and children. This shop offers more variety than most of the smaller charity shops as they fit in items such as ornaments, clothes and crockery. As well as that, they have the usual suspects like children's books and videos. The shop generates a good browse whenever passing by, because there is always something new in the window display. And sometimes, these items can be quite unique.

This will not be the typical charity shop that you will be expecting. There are no kooky vintage…read moreclothes to be had, no vinyl records to be salvaged from obscurity and no...oh wait hang on, yup it actually does have the same charity shop smell. I'm not sure where that comes from...maybe it's the staff. Anyway the Kind Charity Shop seems to sell things that are gained in bulk - God knows where from mind you - such as crockery, furniture, pictures and well to be honest just about anything you would probably never think of buying but see here at such a ridiculous price and end up trying to find somewhere for it in your house.

I was delighted to find some bargain items, including a basket of 29 pence items where I found an adorable little vintage piggy figurine that will make a great Christmas gift for someone. There was a lot of stuff to pick through and it was definitely more interesting than the British Heart shop nearby.

They also always have a good range of furniture which is safety tested to comply with current regulations. I find it best for children's clothes & they are always very reasonably priced - I've picked tops up for 49p! They always have a large range of books from novels to reference books. The staff are really friendly & the shop itself is clean & tidy. The clothes are always freshly laundered as well. A great shop for bargains if you don't mind second hand & want to do your bit for charity.

This Oxfam is amazing. It's more of a home and furnishings store than the Bold Street Oxfam, which…read morespecialises in vintage clothing, and is advertised as having three floors of furniture...three whole floors! And it's not just tat either. If you're looking to furnish your flat on a budget I'd recommend at least popping in here and having a mooch! They had a polished wood dining table with 6 chairs in decent condition for £150. They have a stash of lamps and sofas and the usual book collections and also tons of vinyls and CDs so if you root around a little, especially on the upper floors, you might stumble across some good little bargains!

This branch of Oxfam is quite unique in that it mainly stocks furniture. It is a huge store which…read moreis filled to the brim with excellent affordable furniture. They do not accept anything that is too shabby or doesn't have the right safety marks, so everything here is of an excellent quality. They have 3 piece suites, dining tables and chairs, bookcases, wardrobes, bookcases, beds, chests of drawers, washing machines, fridges, tumble driers, ironing boards, lighting and much much more. They also offer to deliver the furniture for you, which is very useful for us non-drivers. I've picked up a few items from here and been very happy with my purchases. They will also collect any furniture you wish to donate free of charge, which is brilliant. As well as the furniture there is also a good selection of books and gifts.

Generally speaking, I am a charity shop nut. I cannot help myself. The only problem I have with…read morecharity shops is that some of them are like this particular War on Want--that is to say, they are wanting. This was a bit of a disappointment. There was only a small range of stock (though I know that's not entirely the fault of the shop as people need to donate!), and most of what I saw did not look that nice. I wish that more charity shops would stock OLD used books (not just recently discarded best sellers, or trashy romance.) They don't have to be first editions or even remotely valuable--they are just prettier, and sometimes mean we poor people can finally get hold of some of those out of print treasures we've been dying to find. Even so, much of the fault lies with those who donate. You need to donate to charity shops. They need good stock. And you need to donate high quality items that you would actually expect someone to buy!
