A THRIFTY shopper has claimed to have found the best charity shop in the UK – and nearly everything is priced at £1.
Penny, known online as @pennyhindle, encouraged her visitors to pay a visit to the Farplace Animal Rescue Charity Shop in Darlington, in County Durham.
The keen bargain hunter revealed the secondhand store has just undergone a major extension, and now hosts a huge clothing section, a reading nook, and a vinyl record store.
In a new TikTok reel, she said: “Okay guys I need to do another video on my favourite charity shop ever where nearly everything is a £1 because it’s had a huge extension.
“This is the only charity I’ve ever found in England that comes close to an American thrift store-size vibe.
“All of the clothes you can see in this video, and all the shoes, are all £1 each.
