I’m not a fan of save the save children’s charity shop’s I find that they try and cram as many clothes rails as they can without leaving any room for customers to shop, leaving you in a position where you have to wait till someone passes you till you can pass by them. There aren’t as many bargains in this charity shop as many items are bought in like any other store, this is one of the charity’s that hound the public in Sauchiehall street looking for you to sign up to a monthly donation.

As Chris has mentioned, there are other Byres Road charity shops which tend to have better finds. However, that’s no reason to discriminate this one, especially considering that bargains can find you when you least expect. While, it’s not very often that you’ll find a clothes gem in here, it is really good for books, toys, teapots and the like. In fact, it does seem to have more children’s orientated stuff than most other charity shops. I’ll put this down to the ‘Save The Children’ aspect pucking at parents heart strings. So, if you’re a parent you should consider having a rummage in here, if not donating overgrown toys and books that are cluttering up your space.

Save the Children is yet another of the seemingly endless charity shops on Byres Road. It generally has a pretty good selection of items — not just clothes and shoes but also toys, books and general second hand paraphenelia. Even if you’re not of the thrifty charity store type, it’s worth keeping an eye on the window of this place as you pass by. They generally stick their best products in the window display with a great big fluorescent star stuck on it telling you the price. Recent such items include a nearly-new top of the range pushchair for £60 and a cute pair of Chanel pumps for £20. See what I mean? Worth keeping an eye out.

A definite ‘why not?’ in the Byres Road charity shop trail. OK so it doesn’t have the same cool finds as the Oxfam up the road, or the sheer explosion of choice as the Salvation Army on Dumbarton road but its still another one to stumble into, do a quick once over and stumble out again… with charity shopping you just never know. No really much else to say except why do these places insist on putting vinyl on the floor where you have to squat to have a look at them. I’ve got bad knees you know and after 10 mins of un graceful puffing I’ve just about had it. Save the Children??, what about my knees?
