Why I Love Charity Shops

By Opinion Editor 5 years ago

There’s more to them than a great bargain.

 What better way to sing the praises of charity shops than to have recently completed a round of the ones that we have in St Andrews? With this article in mind, I spent the first part of yesterday doing just that. I started on South Street with Oxfam and Cancer Research UK, then moved to Bell Street for Barnardo’s and British Heart Foundation, then to Greyfriars Garden for Sense and Save The Children, then Logies Lane for Sue Ryder Care, and finally Church Street for Salvation Army. My grand total of purchases consisted of only one book, which is quite restrained behaviour from me (in case you’re interested, it was Charles Clover’s “The End Of The Line”). If I ever find myself exploring an urban area at my leisure during trading hours, especially one that I have never previously visited, you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be sucked through the doors of at least one charity shop. But why?

 Most obviously, charity shops bring in crucial money for the philanthropic bodies that own them. Thankfully, despite our capitalist society, there still seems to be a decent-sized expectation that we should help those who are much less fortunate than ourselves. We students, and many others, are financially limited in what we can do, even though we are not without the luxury of a roof over our heads; therefore, buying stock from charity shops and/or letting them have some of our own still counts as valuable assistance, especially when the additive effect of thousands of participants is considered. As per an old entry on my bucket list, I felt extremely satisfied when I gave away my first bag of unwanted items to a charity shop on 08/04/2015. More recently, my parents established contact with a local woman who takes the old clothes of nearby families directly to the homeless, and so we have started contributing in this way too. The Adamoulas household’s insignificant loss is another group’s vital gain.

 As proud as I feel of myself for giving back to society, this is not the main reason why I first fell in love with charity shops. The importance of being a good citizen only entered my way of thinking to the fullest extent after turning into an adult, but knowing the joy that comes with discovering a good bargain first hit me before I even became a teenager. In our younger years, we were all dragged around the stores by one or both of our parents — it’s just a fact of life that has to be dealt with at the time. When I was out with my mother like this, her love of charity shops meant that we went into a lot of them for her to do some browsing. Books were acquired more frequently than anything else, but she didn’t always buy for herself — occasionally I would end up benefiting too.

As time went by, I realised that charity shops were bountiful reserves just waiting to be tapped. Given that my mother is also responsible for my love of reading, I too make a beeline for the bookshelves when I enter these places. Prices in charity shops vary by organisation, in that the same book might be £0.99 in Barnardo’s and £2.99 in Oxfam, so shopping around is not an entirely bad idea. That said, even the highest charity shop prices will be much lower than those in proper bookstores such as Waterstones and online retailers such as Amazon, so the decision-making process depends on just how miserly you are. I’m at the upper end of this scale, so finding Philip Hoare’s “Leviathan” in a charity shop for £0.50 only a few weeks after refusing to buy it in the Natural History Museum for £10.99 was nothing short of superb; getting Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl” for £0.25 on a separate occasion is another prominent memory (I’ve just reminded myself that I actually need to read these books instead of merely hoarding them). It doesn’t end at books though, as one of my favourite T-shirts was bought from a charity shop for only £1 — beat that, Primark!

 Best of all, there are few everyday items that would never turn up in a charity shop, so the excitement of not knowing what treasures lie within is strong. I’ve even found the odd wedding dress inside — if you’re a woman who would go for a second-hand bridal garment in order to save money, I will marry you (well, maybe after a few years of successful dating). Seriously though, charity shops rock, and not one of them is unworthy. Bear that last point in mind the next time you choose to become a stock donor.

  3. In the great scheme of things you’ll receive an A+ for effort. Exactly where you actually confused everybody ended up being in the details. As people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more true in this article. Having said that, allow me reveal to you just what exactly did give good results. Your text is certainly incredibly engaging and this is possibly why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, while I can certainly notice the leaps in logic you make, I am not really certain of exactly how you appear to unite the points which in turn help to make the final result. For the moment I will yield to your position but hope in the foreseeable future you actually link the facts much better.

  4. An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a co-worker who had been conducting a little homework on this.

But yeah, thanks for spending time to talk about this topic here on your web site.

  41. Good blog post. A few things i would like to bring about is that computer system memory must be purchased if your computer is unable to cope with anything you do by using it. One can deploy two good old ram boards with 1GB each, for example, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should look for the maker’s documentation for the PC to ensure what type of memory is necessary.

The old you are, a lot more at risk you might be for getting something poor happen to you while in another country. If you are definitely not covered by many comprehensive insurance policies, you could have quite a few serious challenges. Thanks for expressing your advice on this web site.

  166. I have seen loads of useful elements on your internet site about pc’s. However, I have the view that laptop computers are still not nearly powerful adequately to be a good choice if you frequently do tasks that require many power, such as video touch-ups. But for net surfing, microsoft word processing, and quite a few other typical computer work they are all right, provided you never mind the screen size. Thanks for sharing your opinions.

  225. Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Certification and its Stringent Criteria
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the official Swiss testing agency that certifies the accuracy and precision of wristwatches. COSC accreditation is a mark of excellent craftsmanship and dependability in timekeeping. Not all watch brands follow COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its proprietary strict criteria with movements like the UNICO, attaining equivalent accuracy.

    The Art of Exact Timekeeping
    The core system of a mechanized timepiece involves the spring, which provides energy as it loosens. This mechanism, however, can be prone to environmental factors that may affect its accuracy. COSC-validated mechanisms undergo rigorous testing—over 15 days in various conditions (5 positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and reliability. The tests assess:

    Mean daily rate precision between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, peak variation levels, and effects of thermal changes.
    Why COSC Certification Matters
    For timepiece aficionados and connoisseurs, a COSC-accredited timepiece isn’t just a item of technology but a proof to lasting quality and precision. It signifies a timepiece that:

    Presents excellent reliability and precision.
    Provides assurance of quality across the entire construction of the watch.
    Is likely to retain its value more effectively, making it a sound choice.
    Well-known Timepiece Brands
    Several renowned manufacturers prioritize COSC accreditation for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Archive and Soul, which showcase COSC-certified movements equipped with innovative materials like silicone balance suspensions to enhance durability and efficiency.

    Historic Context and the Development of Chronometers
    The notion of the timepiece dates back to the need for accurate chronometry for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th century. Since the official establishment of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a standard for judging the precision of luxury timepieces, sustaining a tradition of excellence in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited timepiece is more than an aesthetic selection; it’s a commitment to quality and accuracy. For those appreciating precision above all, the COSC accreditation provides tranquility of mind, guaranteeing that each validated watch will function dependably under various circumstances. Whether for personal satisfaction or as an investment, COSC-certified timepieces stand out in the world of watchmaking, maintaining on a legacy of careful timekeeping.

  277. 레버리지스탁
    로드스탁과 레버리지 스탁: 투자법의 참신한 영역

    로드스탁에서 공급하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 주식 투자의 한 방식으로, 상당한 이익율을 목적으로 하는 투자자들을 위해 매혹적인 옵션입니다. 레버리지를 이용하는 이 방법은 투자자가 자신의 투자금을 초과하는 자금을 투자할 수 있도록 함으로써, 주식 장에서 훨씬 큰 영향력을 행사할 수 있는 기회를 줍니다.

    레버리지 방식의 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 원칙적으로 자본을 차입하여 운용하는 방식입니다. 예시를 들어, 100만 원의 자본으로 1,000만 원 상당의 증권을 사들일 수 있는데, 이는 투자하는 사람이 기본적인 투자 금액보다 훨씬 훨씬 더 많은 증권을 구매하여, 주식 가격이 올라갈 경우 관련된 더 큰 이익을 얻을 수 있게 합니다. 하지만, 주식 값이 떨어질 경우에는 그 손해 또한 증가할 수 있으므로, 레버리지 사용을 이용할 때는 신중해야 합니다.

    투자 전략과 레버리지
    레버리지 사용은 특히 성장 잠재력이 높은 기업에 적용할 때 유용합니다. 이러한 사업체에 큰 비율로 투자하면, 잘 될 경우 막대한 수익을 획득할 수 있지만, 반대의 경우 많은 리스크도 감수하게 됩니다. 그러므로, 투자자들은 자신의 리스크 관리 능력과 상장 분석을 통해, 어느 기업에 얼마만큼의 자금을 투입할지 결정하게 됩니다 합니다.

    레버리지 사용의 장점과 위험성
    레버리지 방식의 스탁은 상당한 수익을 제공하지만, 그만큼 큰 위험성 동반합니다. 증권 거래의 변동성은 추정이 곤란하기 때문에, 레버리지 사용을 이용할 때는 언제나 상장 추세를 정밀하게 관찰하고, 손실을 최소로 줄일 수 있는 방법을 구성해야 합니다.

    결론: 신중한 선택이 필요
    로드스탁에서 공급하는 레버리지 스탁은 막강한 투자 도구이며, 적절히 이용하면 상당한 이익을 벌어들일 수 있습니다. 하지만 높은 위험도 생각해 봐야 하며, 투자 결정은 필요한 사실과 신중한 고려 후에 이루어져야 합니다. 투자자 본인의 금융 상황, 위험 수용 능력, 그리고 장터 상황을 고려한 균형 잡힌 투자 방법이 핵심입니다.
