I've been shopping today and as usual when in the local garden centre I look for half dead plants. They are always reduced and then I fetch them home to try and rescue them. I don't know which gives me the most pleasure, the fact that I had a bargain or that they survive because of my tender care and I have such a pretty garden. I would never be able to afford to pay for so many plants if I had to pay full price.
So my question is what in your view has been your biggest bargain recently? Thanks for answering x

I got myself a real bargain that money can't buy. My husband. He is my little crock of gold. I followed the whole length of a rainbow to get him. That's bargains for you. You keep looking until you get what you want. He was born in the month of January so that makes him a January sale bargain.

About two years ago I went into a Goodwill store and found a fantastic Yamaha Digital Home Theater amplifier, absolutely like new. I needed it to replace the monitor in my recording studio. Scored it for $35 and found out later it originally sold for several hundred dollars. Has worked flawlessly ever since. Also got a like-new microphone about the same time... $250 value for $10.00 and an older CD burner ($400 new) for $15. As for the plants, good for you! Hey, they are living things and deserve attention just like the rest of us!

Well, seeing as there are seven people living in this household, the bargains I am usually looking for are of food.
I regularly buy meat when they have reduced it for sale. Of course, I don't touch anything that is discoloured or looks wrong, but I also wouldn't be able to afford to eat T-bones if it weren't for these sales.

I like a bargain as long as it's something I was looking for in the first place. I find it annoying to have things shoved down my throat at a reduced price and be expected to be overjoyed at the offer when it wasn't even on my radar.

A lovely charcoal grey suede jacket and bag reduced from £70 to £20. Okay, I know I can't wear it until the weather gets cooler, but I'm ready.

That's hard to say. I clip coupons all the time; consequently, I get little bargains all the time. However, my best one has to be the leather jacket that had been $250.00 that I got for $67.00 on a great sale!!

Who doesn't like a bargain and I still find myself humming and hahing over a price even though I can easily afford it
