AN AVID charity shop goer was thrilled when she spotted a discount bin where you could grab five items for £1.
Francesca Ramsden, from the UK, quickly dove in to search for treasure and found plenty of charity shop goodies.
Excited with her haul, the bargain hunter shared everything she picked up in a recent video posted to social media.
She said: “I went to the charity shop.
“There’s a five for £1 bargain bin, and I filled my bag and about five others.”
Francesca first pulled out a grey off-the-shoulder jumper which was in the bin for 20p.
The charity shop whizz then nabbed a crochet top which she was thrilled to see as she had the same one in her Shein basket, but couldn’t justify the £8 price tag.
So Francesca was thrilled to see it in there for 20p, her bargain haul was clearly on a roll.
Next in her bag of goodies was a pair of jeans, which were an insanely good price at 20p – almost too good to be true.
“I also got these jeans that are originally from.,” Francesca continued but as she held them up she looked horrified and dropped the jeans, ‘Oh,’ she added.
Francesca tried to collect herself as the reality set in.
“Do you wanna see what’s in this?” she asked.
“What the hell?
“So I should have spotted that from the little stain that side.”
Francesca held up the trousers and showed the inside, which were covered in faeces.
Disgusted by her find, Francesca put them down and revealed she wouldn’t carry on filming her haul of bargain finds.

Choose your area – As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated.
Don’t hang around – If you see something you like, buy it, as it’ll likely be gone when you come back
Look out for cut-off labels – Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn’t sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes.
Stay at home – While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won’t get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you’re looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.
She added: “Someone’s obviously just worn these, wiped their bum on them.”
Francesca added that the person who donated the jeans should feel shameful for doing such a thing.
The clip posted to Francesca’s TikTok account @francescacharityshop has since gone viral with over 119k views and 5,000 likes.
People were stunned by the find, and some charity shop workers revealed it happened far too regularly.
One person wrote: “Pooey jeans had me in tears.”
Another commented: “The way you went from excitements to instant disgust had me howling.”
“I volunteer in a charity shop and stuff like that are more common than you think lol,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “When I tell you I was not expecting that.”
“The gasp that escaped from my mouth when you showed the inside of the jeans,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I’m a charity shop manager, this happens at least once a day, and that’s no even the worse I’ve found.”
