Thrifty Brit makes £1,000 from charity shop haul & people are all saying the same thing
IF Christmas has left your bank account feeling a bit worse for wear, it might pay you to visit a charity shop or two.
Contrary to popular belief, our local second-hand stores aren’t just full of rubbish – you might find treasure worth thousands.

That’s just what happened to one savvy shopper, who’s a dab hand at finding bargains and making a very tidy profit.
A TikTok user called Splash has racked up over 65,000 fans who follow his reselling adventures online.
In a recent video, Splash shared how much he made from one day of charity shop browsing – a whopping £1,000.
The clip shows Splash walking into the first shop and he begins rifling through the rails of clothing and accessories.
“It’s Tuesday and I thought I’d hit up a couple of different charity shops to see if they’ve got anything.
“To be fair for the most part, there were a couple of decent things,” he admits.
But according to Splash, finding a bargain on second-hand rails has become a real challenge and everyone agrees.
“All of the prices have gone up recently. £20 for a jacket – it’s just not worth picking up,” he says.
As an example, Splash shows viewers a pair of nearly-new basketball trainers.
“I saw a pair of these size 10 Js [Jordans] but they were £100 so I left them as well,” he explains.
“There was nothing really worth picking up until I found these,” he exclaims, holding a pair of vintage gold cufflinks up to the camera.
“I did a bit of digging on Google and these are retailing for £995 which is mad. The profit on that is insane.”

Splash’s followers were impressed by his find but agree that charity shop items aren’t as cheap as they used to be.
“£100 for used Jordans in a charity shop is insane,” replied one shocked user.
“Charity shops are getting cheeky,” agreed a second.
“The charity shops are charging way too much. And they get it donated for free as well,” exclaimed a third.
Splash isn’t the only one browsing for a bargain. A number of his followers have spoken up about their own wild profits.
“I volunteer for a charity shop and I get first dibs on a lot of things that have made me hundreds of pounds,” shared a man.
“I got a Rohan jacket, immaculate condition, for £14. Worth £275 new. Great finds out there,” claimed another.
