Frugal Frenchie

The Salvation Army

"Best charity shop in Edinburgh with the best windows!! Vintage section is my favourite and always find some hidden gems, but 50p book offer, kids clothes 10 for £1 and £1 sale section (I have found loads of stuff every week) definitely keeps our wardrobes full! Staff are great and always singing!! Definitely worth a visit ❤️❤️❤️"

Rachel

Chest Heart & Stroke

"A good outlet shop. I’ve found genuine vintage designer in here, real leather jackets, a load of great deals if you have the time to search. The media section is in a cramped corner but the books are 2 for £1 and they don’t immediately throw out the old worn paperbacks (total gems!)."

Brookie

British Heart Foundation Home Store

"Love it!! I got the majority of my furniture from there when I moved into my new flat. Including dining table and chairs, dressing table with matching drawers, aswell as lamps, blankets & different sets of drawers. They are all such amazing quality and look so high-end."
