A charity shop expert from Manchester has managed to bag £1,000 worth of goods for just £60. Holly Wood is a self-confessed "shopaholic" who has gone viral for her clever bargain finds.
In her latest haul, the 39-year-old bargain hunter was thrilled to score gorgeous items including luxe handbags for just a fraction of their retail value.
TikTok haul goes viral
In a TikTok, which garnered more than 62,000 views, Holly says: "I’ve just found £1,000 worth of clothes in the charity shops for less than 60 quid. There’s some handbags, there’s some shoes, and some great pieces that I can wear this autumn/winter."
The mum-of-two goes on to unpack her haul, including a winter jacket for £16 – which she described as an "absolute bargain" after discovering it originally retailed at around £150. Next, she shows off a knitted grey skirt with an on-trend drop waist and pleated design, which she picked up for £6.50, though it was label-less so she couldn’t check the original price.
Designer bargains and accessories
Her third bargain of the day was a jumpsuit by designer brand Jigsaw which she believes costs upwards of £150, and which she spent just £7 on. Holly also picked up some brand new River Island brown heeled shoes for £5 – and which were originally £52.
Continuing her haul, the thrifty shopper said the 'piece de resistance' in the haul were the accessories – handbags. The first is a cheetah print envelope evening bag from designer brand Reiss, which usually retail at around £150, and which she got for £7.50. The second bag cost £10, a longer cream canvas tote which cost upwards of £450, which Holly was thrilled by – particularly as it appeared "pristine" and unused.
Encouraging others to thrift
"Guys, this is your sign to head out to charity shops," she told her 43k followers. "Go support your local shops, support some charities, keep things in circulation and out of landfill. Have fun, have a delve – there is always something to be found."
