Love a bargain

I bought a clothkits knitted jerkin from a charity shop in 1980 for 99p, have worn it every year since, & sold it last year on Vinted for £10!
It was such good quality, never seemed to suffer how ever many times it was washed.

My best bargain was an almost new Radley handbag for £7.

Many years ago I bought a pair of jeans from a charity shop for 50 p. So cheap because it had a paint stain on it But I was painting anyway and the fitted superbly Took paint stripper to it then washed it. Came up a treat Wore the jeans to pick kids up from school. Friend admired jeans looked at label. Apparently they were really expensive, I got good wear out of them for many years I might add I did not paint in them.

Brilliant! I love a bargain.

I've got the opposite tale. I was waiting for John Lewis sale to buy a new duvet. Bought one and was pleased with the reduction until this morning when I see it's reduced a further £40+. Cursing quietly to myself.

I picked up one of these too!!! Didn't really need a new coat ........ but too good to miss!!! 🤣

I won a £50 adidas gift card in a competition and told my sporty DD she could have it. Today in the shop she found a nice hoody for £50 and added a pair of shorts in the sale for £17. I also had a 10% off card. The £50 gift card covered the hoody but with the extra discount the assistant got quite flustered and said “ oh just take the shorts”. So we didn’t pay for a thing 😃

How long ago did you buy it Knspol ?

You might be able to get a refund on their Never Knowingly Undersold policy, where they include their own price drops.

I did it once a while ago with a 50% price reduction.

I bought some bargain wine from Budgens and didn't notice that it's alcohol free.
No wonder it's on sale.
It is cloudy and tasteless!
Not such a bargain .
