Yesterday was a beautiful day for a winters day. My sister and I decided to go Op shopping. I was a little upset to find that my fave Op shop had closed for the day at 12pm, but there is always next time.
My bargains for the day consisted of a nice vase with fake flowers/leaf arrangement which was $15! (pretty good considering would have been about $80 from thingz living and it was in mint condition). Also bought a new work skirt, perfect condition for $4, pair of jeanswest jeans for $6, new navy flanno for $4 and a jeanswest grey jacket for $3! They all look brand new and are currently in the washing machine getting nice and clean and sparkling :).
Rockingham Beach Salvos - 6 Patterson Road, Rockingham Beach WA
Open: Mon-Fri 9.00-5.30 and Sat 9.00-5.00 Contact: 0592 7459
So this is where the first bargain of the day was bought, by my sister - an awesome colorful bag (backpack) which was $7! Was awesome! I found it to be a little bit overpriced for somethings, I found that with most of the salvos stores, but they had some pretty cool stuff in here, especially jackets.
Our next stop was my favourite one, which was closed :(
Uniting Church Op Shop - 169 Parkin Street, Rockingham WA
Open: Mon-Fri 10.00-3.30pm and Sat 8.00-12.00pm Contact: 9527 4660
I really wish this Op shop was open because usually when I go in here they have awesome stuff and it is so cheap! I once found a mint skirt and an awesome bag from there. Wish it was open.
Good Sammy's - 12/8 Livingstone Road, Rockingham WA
Open: Mon-Fri 9.00-5.30pm and Sat 9.00-5.00pm Contact: 9592 5089
This is where I found my bargain vase and flower/leaf arrangement from! They did not have a large variety of dresses but there selection of jeans was pretty good. They didn't really have much in my size though, lots of size 12's if you are a size 12 this would be the place to have a look!
Vinnies Rockingham Centre -15/8 Livingstone Road, Rockingham WA
Open: Mon-Fri 9.00-4.00pm and Sat 9.00-1.00pm Contact: 9528 1071
Unfortunately we went to Good Sammy's next door first and by the time we were done in there it was closing time for Vinnies :(. They looked like they had some pretty good stuff though! Until next time...

This Op shop wasnt bad at all. It was a little bit overpriced (as I think most salvos are) but they had a great selection of clothes. I did not buy anything from here because nothing tickled my fancy but they definitely had a lot to offer!
Anglicare - 181 High Street, Fremantle WA
Open: Mon-Sat 9.00-5.00pm and Sun 12.00-5.00pm Contact: 6424 7655
Out of all the Op shops we went into for the day, I would have to say this would be one of my favourites. I bought a pair of jeans and I am pretty sure I bought something else, But i cannot remember now... But the jeans selection was awesome! I would highly recommend. Had some pretty cool bags as well and lots of vintage items which was great. Worth a look!
Vinnies Retro - 2/142 High Street, Fremantle WA
Open: Mon-Fri 9.00-4.30pm Sat 9.30-3.30pm and Sun 11.00-5.00pm Contact: 9335 6890
This place had some pretty awesome stuff in there, but it was extremely expensive. I mean I did not pay much attention to the tags and where the clothes were originally from, but the cheapest item of clothing I could see was around $20, which is not really my idea of Op shopping. So, if you have a big budget for Op shopping, then sure this place is pretty cool, but if you are looking for a bargain, steer clear.

I quite like this Good Sammy store, they had 50% off all recycled clothing, which was awesome! I got this sweet grey jeans west jacket that was in great condition for $3!!! There were alot of jeans, jackets, t-shirts, cardigans and all sorts and I probably could have bought alot more from there If i wanted to, but I didnt. Next time though :)
Salvos Fremantle - 3/5 Josephson Street, Fremantle WA
Open: Mon-Fri 9.00-5.00pm and Sat 9.00-5.00pm Contact: 9336 2026
So this was pretty much our last stop for the day. I ended up buying a flanno and a nice work skirt from here which cost I think $11 in total. They were in great condition too! They had quite alot in this store, especially shoes, but I dont really like buying second hand shoes. Pretty good store overall. They even had a retro/vintage section which was pretty cool.
Overall I had a great day. After op shopping, we ended up going to the freo markets and getting a freshly squeeze Orange Juice and I got a salted caramel macaroon, which was delicious! And then we headed home.
Let me know if you know of anymore good Op shops !! hope you liked my blog!
