But while charity shops, car boot sales and eBay are my main shopping haunts, I do venture into the high-street stores on occasion. One has to know what all the cool kids are wearing, even if it's just to avoid it.
And there are some things that I find it very difficult to do second-hand - jeans being one of them. As jeans sizes vary so wildy, I can't buy them online, and by the time they've found their way to the land of rummage, they often look like a Jackson Pollock canvas, having been relegated to decorating garm along the way, or are bearing rips in places that I am now just too old to get away with.
So, I was happy to pick up some Seventies-style flares from the Topshop sale for a reasonable £20. A sensible purchase I felt - already worn twice.
The same can't be said for my other high-street sale bargain, however. But how could I say no to the perfect white patent, Pattie-Boyd-esque, 1960s dolly shoes for just £7? Thank you New Look. I will cherish these shoes. I might even wear them at some point.
