When giving to charity shops, shop around! different value for giving

This theme is continued at the helpful site Intelligent Giving

Charity shops are great! Support them! Buy from them! Support charity shops

Charities make most money (for example the UK National Lottery) if the people doing the work go without pay? No, that's silly! The Camelot Assumption

Doing good includes such things as not wasting food did you know?

Charities and Good Causes can make money by means of Buy.at Webshops*. Worth looking into.
