I was wondering what bargains others had found at car boots.

Enjoy the sunshine

I got some great bargains last year including a travel cot that had hardly been used.

I have banned myself from going to any as losing my full time family at the end of may and no new mindees yet so can't spend any money at the mo :(

When I first started as a cm I went to car boots and bought lots of things and now I still go to top up or replace. I do buy some things new but love to get a bargain :D

I recently bought a blue and a pink scooter fo £2 each and the kids love them :thumbsup:

in north wales we have free cycle were people advertise things they want rid of for free all you have to do is collect them - I picked up a safety gate today as well as a little tikes castle and slide in excellent condition better than going to the land fill and also on my pocket:)

I use freecycle too and recently for cming got a canal set that you fill with water, the children played with it for hours and loved it.

I have got rid of some bits this weekend via there and picked up a couple of things we needed too, so its been good for us lately

Went to a car boot today (just reopened) and found a lovely Thomas the tank push along toy and a wooden trolley with wooden bricks, all for £3! Bargain.

I've got quite a few things of my own to get rid of, some stalls had such rubbish on them. I could make a killing :D

I did a car boot yesterday as a seller and made £114 :D ...
My partner knows what i'm like there as a buyer so sent me on my own so i couldn't wander off with the takings haha! The people next to me had guess who, picture lotto and some magnatex - they gave me all three for £1!
So technically i made £113 :D xx
