You never seen such a site, all the clothes were mixed up just as they came out of the bales (they were the size of wool bales) about 25 of them. There was one mirror at the back of the shop but no fitting room. The clothes were waist high all over the floor of the shop, you had to climb on top and walk over all the clothes & just pull out what took your fancy, then put it into the red bag that you were given. If you rolled the items up tight you got a lot more into the bag. There was no room for widow shoppers. It was hard to find kids clothes if you found any you called out anyone want kid’s is or that. The bales were all mixed items of summer & winter with men’s, women, teenagers, children & infants together and to hard find anything in the one spot.

I went early and got some of good bargains. I looked for colour, texture, style then size if looked near my size. When I had a bag full then, I went and looked in the mirror to see if I liked it and if may fit. If it didn’t like it or didn’t fit across my chest, it was tossed back into the pile. I was luck that all I bought did fit.
