I found the same stuff in Waitrose on offer.

Me too. I thought it was rubbish. Rich Roast, Strength 4? Nah, weak as a kitten.

Depends on what you call cheap, but I bought a "Tiny Pump" from evil Amazon, their version of the Therm-a-rest inflator, because I didn't want to fill my sleeping mat with moisture from my breath and it's pretty hard filling the inflation sack when there's no wind. And it's really really good. And really tiny.

A retired racing greyhound. £180 donation to the trust and you get a wonderful, goofy, 40mph couch potato. Bargain.

Nike Pegasus Trail 4’s, £65 in the sale for a super comfy easy trail running shoe. Also a bargain.

A big bag of out of date green lentils in Morrisons for 19p

HTF do dried lentils go out of date? Anyway, I threw a handful of them in a sweet chilli sausage casserole and it was fab

@IHN are those grips proper silicone like ESI chunky?

Er, dunno to be fair, I haven't used the ESI ones and, if I'm honest, I don't know how I'd know if they're proper silicone. But they're comfortable, don't slip, and they're five quid...

A couple of weeks ago I bought a 4k LG Blu-ray player from Facebook selling, looked like it has never been used. £40.  The aftermarket 4k compatible HDMI cable it came with probably almost cost that.

As far as normal things you can buy everyday, I always think these are an absolute steal at around £10!

Neighbour was throwing out a non working Dyson V8 on our local WA group. I offered to change the battery at cost and someone else suggested cleaning out the filters. They declined. I now have a mint condition V8 fully working after spending £42 on a new battery and set of filters.

It stank of dog, so I did have to give it a good clean to get rid of the smell...

Opinel have always been great value for money.

Bought a ten litre box of Bordeaux Superieur in a French supermarket. Worked out at under €2/litre. It's really rather quaffable and no hangover to speak of.

Just got one of the Pixel 6a phones which were £100 off the RRP of £399, plus another £100 and £19 for my 5 year old Sony, via John Lewis, so £180 for a great phone.

Pixel 6 from Carphone Warehouse. £299 sim free, then £100 off for old Samsung phone and £35 cashback. £164 all in and a great upgrade over my old phone.
At the other of the spectrum, went into Bath for an impromptu pre-return-to-Uni lunch with the daughter. Was chilly so decided I needed a scarf. Primark insulated scarf purchased, £5 on label, only £3 charged at the till. Been wearing it for dog walking ever since, it's ace. Also quite like the "wearing a sleeping bag around your neck" look...fun and functional!
