This branch of the British Heart Foundation charity shop is located on Stockton High Street, close to the Nat West bank and McDonalds.
They stock a good selection of items, including clothing, a lot of books, CDs, DVDs, videos and ornaments. In addition to the second hand items, they have a number of new things on offer, including perfume bottles and jewellery. It's quite a pleasant shop to browse around in the never-ending quest for a bargain. It's nicely laid out and brightly lit. Also, and this is a major plus point, it doesn't have that yukky musty smell that welcomes you into most charity shops!
Now, I really feel bad at raising any criticism of a charity shop, but really I do think some of their prices are ridiculous. I've seen them asking almost £3 for a CD. While this might be justified on a classic, I think Girls Aloud should be more in the 50p bracket!
I've seen the same thing with books. There have been a couple of times where I've seen a book that I quite fancied, but it was really just a whim and they want £3 for a book I may not even like, and could probably pick up for coppers at a car boot sale.
Aside from that, however, it's a good shop to browse around and definitely worth a look. read more
