The prices here are ridiculous, a blouse for £8.99? So you are pricing item?s depending on the label? But it didn?t cost you anything. I can?t even shop clothes here anymore, the way they?ve arranged the clothes by color doesn?t make sense at all, and a lot of tat for way too high prices.

A very nice little store with affordable items and a decent selection, but not the best charity shop I've been to - it's two shops made into one, which is probably the reason for the higher than normal prices, so overall it gets a 4 ?'s rating, which isn't great but isn't bad, either!

Always find great little in and odds here. Last time I went I got a motorhead vinyl which is awesome but safe to say it is not the cheapest of places. Headingley makes these charity shops into businesses and it is very abundant in this Oxfam.

When we think of charity shops, Oxfam is usually the first to pop into our heads. However, over the years I have slowly begun to recognise the corporate business that it has become and sadly, questioning where my money is really going. Stock-wise, their clothes are OK, but hugely overpriced. Some of their own stock is quite nice but again, quite pricey. However, I am a huge fan of their electrical and home-ware items - it's the only charity shop I've seen that stocks 1970s coffee machines and old school radios! For most people in Headlingley, Oxfam will probably be the prime choice. Nevertheless, if you have a spare hour or so, search around for the hidden gems of Headlingley - you're guaranteed to pick up a bargain!

The Oxfam of Headingley has to be my least favourite of all the charity shops. It's true that there is always a lot to browse, certainly when it comes to jewellery as they always have a big selection on display, but I just can't stand the fact that they bump up their prices so incredibly. Nothing makes Oxfam seem more like a corporate business than a charity than when you see, for example, Primark items going for sale at virtually more than they would cost originally. Gah indeed. It seems, unfortunately, that a lot of cool and quirky clothing does indeed get donated here over some of the other charity shops so if you're a keen oddments collector it's worth popping in but you've got to be happy to pay the fee for such items. I'll admit, I bought it anyway, but I found an Indian dress for about £15 which I think is a tad steep for charity shop prices. Better that Oxfam have my £15 than Primark, but how much further would that £15 go in St. Gemma's Hospice I wonder? Who can say. Nevertheless, it's of course worth mentioning that the Oxfam here is the largest charity shop in Headingley, and so it's always worth having a poke around. They've a separate music and electricals section, with loads of vinyl, CD players, TVs and such, as well as a number of chocolates, sets, clothes, jewellery, accessories, kids items, games and more in the main area. Certainly bric-a-brac heaven! All kinds of bits and bobs, as you might expect!

There is an abundance of charity shops in Headingley but Oxfam clearly rules the roost! Whilst another branch a few doors down sells books, this one has everything else - clothes, electrical items, a few pieces of furniture, bags, puzzles, vases, shoes, and a range of fair trade and 'ethical' items that are not second hand. If you are not a regular charity shop scrambler then this latter section may interest you the most. Here you can find fair trade jewelry, complete with a picture of an African lady on the label - did she make it I wonder? There are note books made from recycled materials, chocolate, coffee, gardening things and books on how to save-the-world. Despite all these really great products that people might otherwise not be aware of if Oxfam didn't promote them, I have mixed feelings about this charity shop. Firstly, is it trying to disguise itself as something more than a charity shop? I sometimes think the people of Oxfam know they are a cut above the rest but resent this when I see Primark clothes being sold for a similar price to the one they are sold for when brand new. On the other hand, I love Oxfam for providing second hand electrical items as I was able to get some hair straighteners for less than a fiver! Especially when many charity shops are unable to sell electrical goods. When in Headingley its always worth a visit.
