Pop up Op Shop in Hastings (Cancer Society)
So many shoes - children's, men's & women's - I have never seen so many and such a selection of shoes in an op shop. An amazing amount of linen, duvets, blankets etc. plus great selection of books both fiction and reference. Lots of super children's books in new condition. Heaps of toys, and boxes of photo/picture frames. Lots of racks of clothing including two racks priced 4 items for $1. In the men's section I noticed lots of new sleep wear and shorts as well as many shirts, jeans and trousers in great condition. Of course there are many racks of clothing for babies, young children, teens, men and ladies, plus tables of crockery, glasses and white elephant. I would say lots of volunteers have been very busy to have this shop up and running so quickly. Not sure how much longer they are open, so get in to see what bargains you can find before they close. P.S. There is a set of golf clubs, (in the bag thing on wheels) - the price is "What Offers". What a bargain. They are also selling fresh daffodils The shop is in Heretaunga Street West, next to a $2 Shop, (almost opposite John's Bakery).
