pound coinsWe all love bargains, right? And where better to bag a few than in our local charity shops?

If you’re a dedicated bargain hunter, this has to be a date for your diary – for three hours only on Sunday 30 November, any item in the Children’s Society shop on Middlegate in Newark can be yours for just one pound!

That’s right – from 11am to 2pm hundreds of items of ladies’ clothing will be up for grabs in this special sale, everything from tops and trousers to dresses and even coats.

And that’s not all. Kids’ clothing, jewellery, CDs, DVDs and games will all be two for £1 and you can pick up three books for £1 too!

With a tombola and cakes (yes, you’ve guessed it – they’re £1 as well), it all sounds like an opportunity that’s too good to be missed…
