Charity Shopping In Bury St Edmunds

I loved this, and Jeff always makes me smile such a gorgeous dog, thank you x

Former Cancer Research UK shop manager here. I finished working for CRUK in March 2024 and I must say a lot of their policies are very anti customer and anti shop staff by putting unnecessary barriers in the way.  Like most companies the "no dog policy" was created by the higher ups (who have no clue what they are doing most of the time) in a bid to push better health and safety / relinquish any liability on their part but most shop staff were against the policy as all it did was alienate customers with dogs and loose sales which is the opposite of what you would want to do during these harsh economic times. We used to have regulars who would always come in with dogs and we even had treats behind the till as it was a joy to have dogs visit us, to tell them they are no longer allowed in with a dog after 30 or so years of them doing so created so much awkward friction were there was none before. Its absolutely stupid in my opinion.

We own a hardware store, Vergas Hardware, in northwest Minnesota. Dogs are always welcome, have never had a problem. We have a resident cat, Stanley, who tolerates them, and is very friendly to people. He has lived there 8 years, since rescued as a kitten. People come in often to pet him, and don't necessarily buy anything. LOL. He comes and goes inside and out, but stays inside more in the winter. Our area is known for cold and snow.

Love look of town😂 lot of charity shops nice variety of items 😊

St John's street has some lovely shops and charity shops. Each is great for children's games and toys and there's a couple of others as well.

Eternal Beau and also that hyacinth jug at 3:05 are in my charity shop bingo, they are everywhere!

Enjoyed the video Andrea x

when you were looking at the rayware teapot, next to it was a silver horse o its hind legs, on a base, I would have bought it, i love silver things, also anything Laurel and Hardy

It’s great when you find products with made in England on the bottom instead of China

Oo that's super very close to me! I've found some great stuff at bury 😀🙌

Thank you for taking us with you on this trip. I live just over an hours drive from Bury St Edmunds and you’ve motivated me to take a trip there! Did you look at the green glass vase in shot at around 9.30 in your video? It looks like a Darlington vase but could be a copy as the glass looked a bit thick 🤷‍♀️.

It seemed like more and more shops were becoming dog friendly (not just charity shops) so I think Cancer research are making a big mistake. My local charity shop never allowed dogs (grumpy manager) but now they do and they always give my dog treats. I am going to be looking out when I visit Cancer research in other areas to see if they are all following this policy

What a shame that the green Dartmouth bowl / goblet was cracked, such a beautiful piece!

oof I think you'd probably get cheaper stuff from the antique centre! At 5:10 there's two jack-in-the-pulpit red glass vases with bubble bases; those are mid century Aseda (sweden) and can fetch good money if you're selling to the US market.

did you ask the price of the set of 1920's blue enamel kitchen jars in the first shop on a pine unit

The pottery in the charity shop u went in first was crazy prices.

i saw a whole dinner set of eternal beau today in a charity shop!

I can’t believe that the cancer charity shop didn’t want you in with Jeff ,I now will not go into for that reason I will spend my money elswhere ,was there a notice on the door .? They need every penny they get had it been me I wouldn’t have gone through with the sale iwould ave politely told them to keep it ,but I will ask around my area which is Southport near liverpool if this is happening here as I the next few days we have a very large cancer research shop opening on the central 12 shopping place they are taking over one of the very large stores ,so leave it with me ,but there is always another shop or charity that will take your money ,we have a hospice down the road from where I live supported greatly by the local community my freind is in there as we speak and they encourage you to takes your dogs in to see the patients as a therapy ,imquite annoyed at this being an animal lover and dog owner until recently

Will Ellen be home for summer holidays? Love seeing you all shopping together x
