Don't know if any of you do bootsales but been finding them as a good reason to wake up and make the most of a sunday. Can get some great deals too, like today bought a 2 Ton trolley jack for £2, yes £2 
Bought axle stands before for £3 for 4, and my subwoofer+amp for 10.
Also at todays one there was stockcar racing in the field next to us, but they took too long to set up so we headed off
Any else know good places for bargains to put a smile on your face

I did a couple of bootsales......hated it, barely made the money to cover the pitch and fuel getting there.......and it was full of bloody foreigners wanting everything for 20 pence.
I seemed to get a bit of a bargain yesterday. Used the self service at sainsburys as always and usually put the recipt and all the crap that comes out the machine straight in the bin when I get home.............but good job I looked yesterday, thier price match thing gave me £5.30 to spend on my next shop...so I got my dinner today for nothing lol...sort of.

tom, is their anything that you do like. you always seam to be moaning about summat.
steve.. £2 for a 2 ton trolly jack.. its worth more than that if you weigh it in and sub and amp for £10 well you got a right bargin. even if its budget. if you dont like it then you could always make yourself a £ and stick em on flea bay.

Exactly, I've been keeping an eye on ebay/gumtree for trolley jacks for a while now and they seem to hold their value so if I could make it a regular thing might be some easy $$$ to be had

I fecking love car boots. Me & amber go all the time with the puppy.
Never buy anything other than car related things & bits for the dog.
Always feel out of place as without sounding big headed I always try and dress fairly well (smart jeans & branded t shirt) but its always full of foreigners or tramps!

Ah fair play, Ashley Heath isn't that bad a distance.
Would sound like a plan if we weren't doing Beaulieu that Sunday...  Blatantly up for any after that though lol. Oh yeah got that message when i was asleep and completely forgot about it, sorry for not replying.

We've got a couple of really good/large ones round our way, the only problem is I get bored about half way round 'cause of how big they are  .
Although I have had some bargains from there in the past. Thinking I might start going again but looking for certain items, just not sure I'd find them , that and once I start spending I have trouble stopping

Ashley Heath is win! I go there, normally to sell and make a big profit.
Then I walk round and spend it on crap haha
