She was able to stuff armfuls of clothes into a carrier bag, for a tenner, and the items were so good that she ended up filling three bags.
In a clip which has racked up over 8,000 likes, she said: 'This is my official petition for every charity shop in the UK to start doing fill-a-bag events, because the bargains are insane.
'They were celebrating two years since they opened, and they just desperately needed to clear stock to make room for donations.
'Every bag was £10, and you basically could just go around the charity shop, rummage in bins and look on rails, and put as much clothing or shoes that could fit in each bag.'
Her top find was the Vivienne Westwood shirt for 40p, but she managed to completely update her wardrobe in the charity shop spree.
She added: 'Honestly, if you're a reseller or you just need new clothes for your wardrobe, make sure you keep your eyes peeled for events like this, because I can't even tell you how much fun.'
The event took place at the Warrington store to celebrate them being open for two years, and included items across women, men, children, and babies.
Becky admitted the event was 'crazy and chaotic' and also 'super busy', and said you have to be patient and willing to dig to find bargains.
However, she did have a top tip for fitting more clothes in your bag.
She advised that you should roll the items to make them 'super small', to get the most for your tenner.
Every item in her bag ended up costing her 40p, and people were hugely impressed with her bargains.
One person commented on the clip: 'I was here for this was sooo good.'
Another added: 'I want to attend one of these I love clothes.'
A third wrote: 'Brilliant idea id love it.'

CHARITY HAUL
Becky previously revealed she has made £100,000 rummaging through old clothes and flogging the gems she finds.
Becky, from Lymm, Cheshire, started by selling pieces from her own wardrobe on second-hand clothing platforms Depop and Vinted while studying for a masters at Exeter University in 2019.
Five years on, she rakes in up to £3,000 a month selling pre-loved goods.
One of the entrepreneur's biggest sales was an old leather Red Bull jacket that she found at a car boot sale.
'I paid £30 and it sold for £250,' says Becky proudly. 'That's pretty rare, but it's a good example of what you can find if you look hard enough.'
With 269,000 followers on TikTok, 127,000 on Instagram and a booming business, Becky has no plans to throw in the thrifting towel.
She has kitted out her flat in second-hand furniture and might branch out into selling homeware in the future.

ITV pulls the plug on legendary presenter's big TV comeback by AXING show after just one series - despite star being 'convinced he was on to a winning idea'
ITV bosses have pulled the plug on Noel Edmonds ' latest TV project, Kiwi Adventure, after just one series. The three-part special followed the former Deal Or No Deal host, 76, as he showcased his new life in New Zealand alongside wife Elizabeth Davies, 55. According to The Sun, Noel had hoped the show would become a fixture on the channel – but that dream has now been dashed. A spokesperson for ITV confirmed to the Daily Mail on Thursday: 'There are no current plans for more new episodes but audiences can enjoy the show on ITVX.' The news reportedly comes as a blow to Noel, who believed he was onto a winning formula. A TV insider told The Sun: 'It's a blow to Noel as he was convinced he was on to a winning idea. 'There was a great buzz around the series and it was well received by both viewers and critics alike.' Dubbed the Clarkson's Farm of New Zealand, Kiwi Adventure offered a glimpse into Noel's quirky passions, including his fascination with crystal healing and sustainable living. However, The Sun reported that sources close to the star said extreme weather played a major role in the show's downfall. They revealed: 'River Haven has been hit badly by flooding, it's made working on the estate almost impossible.' The source added that meant filming would have been 'seriously hampered', but as far as Noel is concerned, the show has been 'put on ice'. This marks yet another setback for Noel, whose last big TV comeback was back in 2018 when he entered I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! as ITV's highest-paid contestant – only to be the first star voted off. Noel first shot to fame in the 1970s as a BBC Radio 1 DJ, known for his cheeky on-air style and appeal to younger listeners. His radio success quickly led to a transition into TV, where he became one of the most recognisable faces on British screens. The news reportedly comes as a blow to Noel, who believed he was onto a winning formula. A TV insider told The Sun: 'It's a blow to Noel as he was convinced he was on to a winning idea' He became a household name thanks to long-running hits like Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, The Late, Late Breakfast Show, and Noel's House Party, which introduced the iconic character Mr Blobby and turned Noel into a Saturday night TV staple throughout the 80s and 90s. Earlier this year, ITV teased Noel's Kiwi Adventure as part of its new slate, giving fans a sneak peek into his rural life abroad after leaving the UK in 2018. Noel and wife Liz moved to New Zealand in 2019, where they now own an 800-acre estate in the riverside town of Ngatimoti. The couple have since launched a hospitality business that includes a vineyard, general store, coffee cart, restaurant, and pub.
