“I headed there two hours ago and I’ve just come out,” she said in a video on her TikTok page.

“It is like nothing I’ve ever seen before!

“I’ve got four bags rammed with stuff, all £1 each.

“This includes a dress, a brand new with tags dress, with the tag saying £315.

“I’ve got some new Clarks boots. I’ve got a Karen Millen dress for £1 each.”

She added that the “sale is running indefinitely” but urged other people to get to the store when they can.

“I can’t… I haven’t got the words. Just go there!” she concluded.

In the next video, Caroline shared a video tour of the store, as she showed the marquee packed with clothes, shoes and accessories.

The inside of the house was more furniture, bric a brac, toys and books, but was also full of gems.

“Oh lordy… what a day!” Caroline captioned the video.

“The Emmaus charity shop in Ditchingham has got a huge marquee in the grounds, where all the fashions and accessories are just £1 each.

“It’s crazy!”

“I had to really stop myself from going crazy!” Caroline replied.

“Go every week and have furnished our house from here , brilliant place!” another added.

Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain

Choose your area – As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated.
Don’t hang around – If you see something you like, buy it, as it’ll likely be gone when you come back
Look out for cut-off labels – Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn’t sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes.
Stay at home – While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won’t get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you’re looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.

“It’s incredible isn’t it?” Caroline responded.

“I’ve been here many times before, but never experienced a £1 sale before!”

“Is it cash only? I’m near Yarmouth,” a third commented.

“They accept both. I paid by card,” she replied.

“Woah this looks amazing!” someone else wrote.

“This is like heaven,” another gushed.

“Def going to visit … I live in Norwich and never knew this place existed!” someone else admitted.

“Wow. This is amazing. I’m booking my train ticket and hotel!” another joked.

“What a fabulous place! I’d have a field day there!!” someone else said.
