As convenience stores go, this one really isn't bad…read more I couldn't park anywhere near my beloved 'best one' down the road so I had to resort to using the bigger and more yellow, Lloyd's news. Inside there's a pretty good range of things you might need at the last minute and most impressively the booze selection is really very great. Lots of wine and most amazingly, lots of offers on that wine. The till had lots of strange and abstract American candy dotted around it, which I scooped up with both hands, like an obese child. The man serving me was polite, very polite. So polite in fact that when he turned away so I could enter my pin number he moved with such force he almost gave himself whiplash.

This is, by far, the best charity shop i've ever visited…read more Shua is a charity based in the Vale of Glamorgan that specializes in emergency cat rescue and re-homing. As a huge cat lover, I'd probably rate this place highly purely on that basis but it just so happens it's fantastic too. Inside is clean, open, bright and well organized, which gives it the feeling of a little boutique shop and not a cluttered old charity shop. There's a huge selection of books, clothing and bric a brac all of which are of high quality and in great condition. I could spend hours there, plus, the volunteers are just so lovely and friendly. If you lose a cat in the area, it's worth dropping in with a poster as they will put it up in the shop window.

I visited Shua and was extremely impressed. What a lovely,…read morewell stocked shop. Best cat charity shop around. Make sure you take plenty of cash. Sharon.

In my opinion, there's nothing sweeter than spending a few hours wandering around charity shops…read morelooking for treasures and books on a Saturday. Certain shops are famed for certain things and all of them have their specialty. If I had to pinpoint what s best about the St George Hospice shop it has to be the bric a brac. I came across lots of crazy 60s vases, kitsch little ornaments and sinister looking treats all very fairly priced.

Half newsagents, half convenience store, this little shop isn't really sure what it is…read more Fair enough it has the usual requirements of a newsagents. Papers, magazines sweets etc but when I wandered in I found razors and all sorts. I can't figure out if it's really necessary considering that there's a tesco metro a few doors away but I'm guessing it's a throwback from before tesco existed.

They have bases in Barry and Llantwit Major as well as a retail training project called Nova. This is the first Nova charity shop I've visited, and I was really impressed by the quality of items in stock. All clothing (for men, women and children) was organised by size, making it much easier to browse the various displays. I found a cropped jumper for only £2.25, but had to leave it there as I (again!) failed to bring any cash with me. That'll teach me! Bibliophiles will marvel at the wall-size bookshelf with reasonably-priced titles for readers with a wide variety of tastes. Nova is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area - the selection is great and all of your proceeds will benefit a fantastic local charity.

Nova stocks everything that you'd expect to find in a Charity Shop, like clothes, books, shoes ,…read morebrick a brack, toys, DVDs, handbags and fashion jewellery. There is even a clothes stand with brand new items that were donated to Nova from other shops like Marks & Spencer. All items for sale are clean, in good condition and reasonably priced. Another good point is that they do have a changing cabin to try on clothes. Unfortunately some other Charity Shops have got rid of their cabins to maximize the available floor space, but Nova still having one makes it more convenient for the customer. The staff is always helpful and friendly, so please pop in, have a browse and support a local charity. :)
