Advantages: Lots of bargains, Money goes to an excellent cause, Variety of items

Disadvantages: Some stuff sold is just .. trash

Oxfam is a charity shop, which can be found right across Britain. I have done some voluntary work at my local Oxfam previously so got a behind the scenes look at the shop. The causes for buying items is good as most the money goes towards third-world countries.

Oxfam sell a variety of things from clothes to ornaments and food. Most of the items sold are second hand/new from members of the public who have kindly donated. You can pick up some great bargains though. I remember one woman who bought in literally hundreds of pounds worth of designer clothes. They were sold at a reasonably higher price but you would pay 5 times as much to buy them new. It's always worth having a look.

They also sell ornaments, toys and games, which have been donated. You can pick up some entertainment for the kids here. The food they sell is mostly fair trade, which is better for the foreigners who produce the food. Oxfam also sell a variety of new items including toys and little bits and bobs.

You can drop in your own clothes and unwanted items, which will go to a great cause. It is (hate to say it) a good way to 'dump' your old clothes and other items. I would recommend you check out your local shop to find a bargain or two!

Thanks for reading

Summary: A good shop to pick up a bargain or two and leave your unwanted clothes, etc
