What did you buy cheap and found it lasted?

I bought a pair of £1 knitted gloves on the market. Keep them in the car and put them on every morning to drive with in the eintet ( cold steering wheel makes my hands hurt).

They have lasted 4 winters so far. Just washed them and put them away for next winter.

Pj top from primark it has lasted 6 years I absolutely love it

So the Ariston adverts were right then?! Showing my age here but didn't they used to sing "on and on and ariston" on the adverts? 😆

I bought a wheeled cabin suitcase from Primark in 2008 - I think it was about a tenner - and it's STILL going strong!

£6 potato peeler, amazing, only needed to replace it as I lost it.

I bought a colander in a junk shop in 1985 and it’s still in regular use today. I can’t remember how much it was, but I was a poor student at the time so it would have been pennies.

It has a single handle (like a saucepan) and so much easier to use than the ones with two small loop handles. I haven’t seen another like it.

That probably wasn’t cheap at the time though.

I bought a fleece (matching with my then husband 😂) and I still wear it occasionally. It is 40 years old and from C&A .

I've got a hair drier that I bought when I moved out of home (2003) I think it was about £15 from Boots. The original plug on it broke but I changed it myself and its still going strong. In case it does die I also have inherited my mums hairdryer from the 80s which also still works fine!

I paid 39p for my wooden spoon in 1991
