But one mum got more than she anticipated when she picked up a little bag for her daughter for just 50p.
Chloe had rummaged through the boxes at the front of one of the stalls and found the cute rainbow bag, immediately grabbing it for her little girl.
She then took it home - thinking nothing more of it.
But when she opened it, she was stunned to discover two pricey bracelets inside.
"I got home and I've opened it up and I found this bracelet here - it's a Joma jewellery bracelet that's meant to be £18!" Chloe said in a video on her and her friend's
The dainty silver bracelet featured a tiny gold star charm on one side, and looked to be nearly new - with no tarnishing or anything.
Her shock continued when she then pulled out a Pandora bracelet.
"I've asked my friends and a few of my friends have said this is real," Chloe added.
The double leather bracelet retails for around £55 in the famous jewellery store, and it even had a charm on it too, which would have set the owner back about £20.
So in total, she managed to nab £93 worth of jewellery for just 50p.
There were even some little clip on earrings inside too, although Chloe wasn't sure if they were worth anything.
"So all of that 50p!" she concluded.
"I mean, I'm not gonna lie I feel a little bit guilty!
"But what a find!"
"Bootsale surprise!" Chloe captioned the video.
People were quick to comment on the TikTok, with one writing: "My daughter's bags were always full of bits like this when they were younger."
"No way! That’s good lol. I loveee Joma wear them all the time," another added.

"I was so shocked when I opened it at home!" Chloe replied.
"I got a Pandora bracket with 3 charms for £1 at charity shop," a third said.
"Bracelet was current stock £99!"
As others insisted Chloe didn't need to feel guilty about her find.
"Not your fault - they should have checked before selling it," one wrote.
"I wouldn't feel guilty!"
"That's on the seller to have not checked before selling," another added.
"I always check every pocked in bags/clothes I'm selling."
"You BOUGHT it!" someone else pointed out.
