A car boot sale isn’t everyone’s first thought when considering where to buy items for the home. You might not fancy the idea of looking through all the junk at a car boot sale, or you might think that you won’t find anything useful. The truth is, you can find plenty – as long as you know what you are looking for.

It’s a good idea to go with a list of things you would like in mind. Don’t make this too specific, or you will probably struggle to find exactly what you want. Instead, think about general things you’d like, such as a lamp for the bedroom, or new ornaments to decorate the living room. This will help stop you buying unnecessary items that you don’t need, but you will go with a plan in mind, which will help stop you coming home with lots of shopping that you instantly regret buying.
