Known online as ‘The Thrifter’, Caroline (@caroline.shops) regularly shares her preloved finds and charity shop recommendations with her 24,300 followers.
In a new reel, she said: “Holy guacamole. I have got over £250 worth of stuff from a charity shop, all of which is brand new with tags bar one item – and I got it all for £34.
“I went to the Sue Ryder charity shop in Norwich which is one of my favourites because they always have the most fantastic stuff.
“I was thinking of leaving my best item from the haul till last but no I’m not going to do that I’m going to show you now.
“When I was in Sue Ryder browsing the shoe shelves, Stewart who works there put out a pair of boots and I thought, ‘oh my god I’m having them, they are mine’.
“Here they are. Just look at them, aren’t they glorious?
“They are Mustang boots. I just love the detailing, I love these badges on the side.
“They are so up my street and they’re in my size so it was a sign.
“I can’t find the exact pair online but ones that are very similar are about £40 to £50. I got them for £7.50.
“Next up we have this pure linen dress which is brand new with tags. It’s by the label East, and the price tag on it says £95.
“I got this for just £8.
“I think it might be a little bit too big, I might have to cinch it in with a belt but we shall see.”
While searching the rails, Caroline also managed to find a brand new pair of Zara shorts – and potentially saved herself £24.99.
She continued: “I couldn’t resist these. They are brand new with tags Zara shorts.
“The price tag on them is £29.99 and I got them for a fiver.”
She also managed to find an on-trend blazer, adding: “I thought this beautiful.
“It is a Warehouse blazer. It has the price tag still on of £70, and I got it from Sue Ryder for £7.50.
“Just check out the pattern. Isn’t it sumptuous?”
The expert preloved shopper also shared one of her top tips for bagging the best bargains, suggesting her followers check out both the mens and womens sections.
“Don’t forget to check out the men’s section. In the men’s section at Sue Ryder, I found this.
“Brand new with tags, new season French Connection shirt.
“This shirt is selling online between £15 to £25. I got it from Sue Ryder for £6.50.
“All of that for 34 quid.”
Fans loved her bargain haul, with the video gaining more than 230 likes and 3,800 views.
In the comments, TikTokkers shared their reactions to her finds, with one writing: “Oh those boots are lush.”
“boots ..blazer..and shirt..absolutely amazing..Will look great together,” commented another.
A third added: “You lucky duck… they’re beautiful.”
