Best Find

So many over the years .The best to memory is a double bass string which I bought as one of five items for £1 at a boot sale and then sold for over £100!also a led zep album which I sold for £80.I bought an apocryphal bible for £2 which I later sold for £50 as well.

A few years ago, I bought a tin full of old British army cap badges for £20 from a second hand shop, turns out they are quite valuable

I got a limited edition of the Nintendo Wii for my daughter years ago in red with everything with it and it was boxed for £10 from a charity shop

Oh and I also got my Henry hoover brand new too for £20

Mine was probably a cupboard/shoe rack from B&M a few years ago which I wanted

I recently saw an offer at Asda online for toilet rolls which is a necessity for us all. I ordered online and collected next day. Even the storeman laughed when he wheeled the order to the car.

Once in home bargains they had 100 ml of Colgate toothpaste for 46p so I bought 50 tube's of it didn't need to buy any for a long time

Was once at a boot sale when my partner found a ring she liked the seller said she would take £5 for it as it wasn't gold she bought it after getting home she cleaned it up and it looked like it was gold we did a few tests on it a few days later she went in to a jewellers shop and they tested it turned out it was 18 cart gold and was made in Spain and very old she was put in touch with a London jewellery shop who said it was a very rare ring and had a lovely stone set in it and they offered to buy it she then contacted a expert in the the trade who sold it on her behalf and it made just over £3000 she then treated her and our daughter's to a holiday and gave the rest of the cash to a number of charities

She's now boot sale and flea market mad and she's had some other great buys too people still can hit lucky

Saved over £400! I bought a specialised Pranamat ECO on ebay for £10; RRP £80 at the time. It arrived boxed and authentic then I noticed the seller relist another one. So I asked how many he had, struck a deal and bought the lot - 5 more for £5 each! He was selling on behalf of someone else and clearly had no idea of the value

Not as good as some mentioned but saw this at Matalan at 50% off, was £24 down to £12. I couldn't make up my mind as gt. Grandson has lots of soft toys but it's like a little chair. Went back this afternoon and it was £7 so grabbed it anyway.

Got this one today in a local garden centre. I could wander round for ages and each time find something new. It's like an Aladdin cave! It's a duvet cover if you can't see it properly.

Never really found anything amazing but over the years I have had some good savings, after christmas a few years back I saw Oral B electric toothbrush heads in my local wilkos for 50p each. I bought the lot and they have only just run out. It hurts now having to pay full price for them.

I've had some good food bargains over the years as well, if no one else is around I tend to take the lot if I want all the items. If there are people around or those who clearly also want some of the things I want, I make sure to try not to be too greedy as I'm not exactly in the poor house and so think it's better it gets shared around.

Some of the reduced sections in supermarkets near me become a bit of a war zone with people just grabbing everything they can and pushing in, I love a bargain but I couldn't act that way to save a few quid.

I popped into Marks & Spencers today and found a top that was £24 for just £3. Very happy with my find.

I can publicly post this story now as it is without doubt of the Very Best find I've ever had but it's not any Deal for Shopping, it was a rather nice Find in a Huge field in the countryside and stashed away under an old Oak tree in the very middle of the field... A holdall, waterproof and rot proof, containing £50k cash.

Phew, it feels so good to finally get that one out of me as I've never told a Soul even irl let alone online

Thanks for reading friends, have a lovely weekend

Years ago I used to find good bargains most months at car boots as people just weren’t as aware. Got a lot of high branded clothing for sort of 50p to £1 an item. A fair amount of Clarice Cliff pottery etc. i bought what i thought was a silver plate ring - it turned out to be platinum - i sold it and kept going back until she was there again and gave her £500 (less than half it was worth) my conscious mind wouldn’t let me not do it !

I was really lucky in Sainsburys last week, right place at the right time and picked up two pieces of TTD beef reduced from nearly £24 to 15p each, both went straight in the freezer.
