I am amazed at what I find in thrift shops / charity shops. Brand new things (and some of them expensive) never worn or used. I'm not complaining, because recently I found a few things I had been considering buying new - but these things have a habit of 'turning up' in charity shops around here, so I waited, and sure enough they appeared!
The most recent example of this was an automatic pet feeder. I had been thinking of getting one for the chickens for a while (they are both overweight and so if I put all their food in their run for the day at once, they stuff it all down too quickly). These things are £25+ new. In the local charity shop - new - £4. It is even better than the one I was considering as it is clockwork instead of requiring batteries..... so better for leaving out in the winter.
Now I just have to 'chicken' test it while I am watching - so see if they destroy it!
