What's the best cheap thing you've ever bought?

[abovedecknotbelow]

Mine is a €3 back scratcher, bought on holiday as a joke. It's actually life changing, I have a very itchy back and I no longer have to contort myself with a pen to get to the itch!

A sonic scrubber - was around a fiver from Home Bargains and has upped my cleaning game!

about ten years ago in Marmaris Turkey no kettle in our hotel room went into a little ironmongers and bought a travel kettle best £1.50 i ever spent take it on holiday with us still and its still going strong only does two cups but heaven is being awake before Oh and being able to enjoy my first brew on the balcony and watch the place wake up

A £6 file for my feet, it is essentially a cheese grater for feet but it has been life changing in finally getting rid of my hard, cracked skin on my heels. It's v grim if a little bit satisfying

A socktopus. One of those round things with lots of little pegs on, which you use for socks. You then take it outside and hang on your line. Saves me wasting 100 pegs on just socks and small peoples undies, plus if it starts raining, I can whip it off the line quickly, not stand there getting soaked unpegging them all individually.

I bought really cheap argos duvets for my DC when they moved from a cot bed to a bed. Both were late to be dry at night and at one point the duvet went in the washing machine daily. It washed and dried in a day which was v convenient for accidents and spillages.

A few years ago my dad passed away and among the possessions I inherited was a John Lewis feather duvet. I offered it to DD (then 13) to replace hers. She took it for a night, decided it was too noisy and went back to the argos cheapy one!
