It was 9. 99I volunteer at a charity shopthat tries to price things on the cheap side and there is no way we’d sell a jacket for 99p starting price. Jackets and dresses are usually priced at £4.99 but high end stuff like this may get an extra quid or two slapped on. To be that cheap it must be in bloody poor condition - although I’m suspicious as if it was so bad as to be priced at 49p (it wasn’t snapped up at 99p??!) it would in all likelihood have gone in the recycling bin.

Oh my bad! I read it as 99p
To be fair she didn’t say when she bought it. It could have been 1987
I should imagine the price of the jacket is irrelevant. For what charity could in all conscience take a penny from ickle suffering Jack. I'm sure she's regularly approached in "thrift stores" by a tearful assistant who sidles up whispering "here little one, cancer can wait. You RENT so your need is much greater than ours. Keep your money for jam and political prisoners".
why even bother buying another blazer when she has a perfectly good one in her wardrobe

How easy would it be to just use the price tag from another, cheaper piece of clothing, for the benefit of taking a picture.
the TRAAAZERS!
Or from something like a toast rack, bongo drum or saucepan recently pictured?
The new grey jacket will go nicely with those glasses she wears
Yup, it's not as important as yellow stickered food for the people who need it but boasting about charity shop bargains when you spunk £1000s on Cotswolds and £100s on Nike trainers, Westwood pieces, Burberry trench coats, etc ad infinitum isn't right.
Of course charity shops are for everyone but she has what seems like a ridiculous amount of clothes (and stuff) already. Did she really need that blazer? Could it have gone to someome who actually did? E.g. someone on a low income going for a job interview?
Glamour, the like of which hasn't been since a young Su Pollard went to lunch with her accountant.
total dogs dinner! Mind you I guess it matches the food, you couldn’t pay me to wear that! Nor to eat her slopPost 541 wonder where she got the label from?
blimey, she’s got some right shockers there

I concurBHF is, in my experience, a pricier charity shop. the big charity shops also routinely sift out designer items for ebay.
now I'm not saying that tag has been pulled off another item and placed there... but I am suspicious
It does indeed appear that the price tag has been pulled off something else and placed there - if not the price tag goes straight through the back of the jacket (potentially leaving a hole), would usually be attached to a label or a seam
I still really want to think that she's pulled the tag off something like a vest BUT the code on a charity shop tag means the date it was put out, doesn't it?
so this fugly blazer has been knocking around the shop since February on the sale rail with the other tit no bugger wants, waiting for some sucker to buy it just cos of the label. enter jack.

Am I the only one who couldn't give a tit about the price of the jacket?!
I couldn't give a flying duck about the jacket, but the tag does go through the label (just below the N).
She will look like a first offender in it.
