Freeport Designer Shopping Village is close to the town of Braintree, Essex.
With all the usual designer shops there is always a bargain available.

%There is also one music and toy shop too. Body shop has an end of lines with amazing bargains.

 Ballistic Bath Bombs :) by sabsi
Handmade natural soaps, shampoo bars, Ballistic Bath Bombs etc etc. Everything looks very nice and smells even better. Argh, I wish there was a Lush shop near where I live!
A lot! Unfortunately Lush isn't exactly cheap. But as "the shampoo bars (~ £3) last longer than many relationships" (so they say!) you can find some good bargains. The bath bombs (~ £2) disappear within seconds though! Leave a Comment Theme: Bath and BeautyAddress: All over EnglandDirections: I've seen stores in Newcastle, York and Chester. Almost every city has a Lush shop. The full list is available on their website.Website: http://www.lush.co.uk

 Schuh in Liverpool by sabsi
I discovered this shop more than 10 years ago in Scotland when I couldn't stop buying shoes. I saw it again in Liverpool recently but unfortunately (luckily?) it was closed!
Trendy Shoes - nice ones, sneakers, boots ... everything!
Loads. Because the shoes are so nice you can't buy less than 5 pairs at the same time! Leave a Comment

 A Japanese Kutani pot by St_Vincent
Car boot sales will usually be held outside and the largest ones will find hundreds of sellers turn up and pay a fee to park in a field and set out their stall at an unearthly time of the morning when even the birds haven’t yet stirred from their dreams of catching an unsuspecting worm. Flea markets and antique fairs will usually be held in church halls or schools and have a better quality of goods on offer. You may also find book fairs or, all too rare these days, record fairs selling old vinyl. The problem with any of these events is that the traders will set up their stalls some time before the public are allowed in and start buying and selling amongst themselves, so any real bargains will have gone by the time you get there. They are quite a pleasant way to spend a few hours on a Sunday morning though and you might just spot a hidden gem that no one else has noticed.
Some years ago I was a fairly regular visitor to antique fairs and I built up quite a nice collection of Japanese Kutani porcelain. If you want to see more of my collection, plus my collection of casino chips you can go to my “Kutani & Chips” travelogue on my England page. Theme: HobbiesDirections: Look in the local papers for car boot sales and fairs, usually held on a Sunday morning.

 Local charity shop by leics
It works like this: people give their unwanted clothes and goods to the charity, then the clothes/goods are re-sold.
It's a brilliant system; clothes and goods get recycled, the charity makes money and people can buy very reasonably-priced items they might otherwise not be able to afford.
I buy lots of my clothes from charity shops. If you're lucky, you'll find designer-label stuff, but there's a huge amount of good quality, hardly-worn clothing in all charity shops. There's no stigma attached to such purchases at all nowadays. In fact, the larger charities have 'specialist' shops in some towns/cities for vintage/designer clothing, or for books/CDs.
There are clothes for men, women and children, shoes, books, bags, curtains, ornaments, CDs, toys, games ..even furniture and electrical goods in some.
Some of the larger charities you'll see in most towns/cities include Help The Aged, Scope (for cerebral palsy), British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research, Oxfam...but there are many more, including quite local ones (such as the one in the photo).
It's always, always worth browsing in charity shops. You never know what you might find: that out-of-print book or deleted CD, the most beautiful ball-gown or a brand-new woolly scarf, unworn dancing shoes or designer jeans that fit you perfectly. They all have changing rooms, so you can try things on before you buy.
Anything from 50p for a book to 15GBP+ for a designer-label leather coat. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Usually on town high streets.Directions: You'll find some listed on here: http://www.charityshops.org.uk/locator.php but there are many more.
