Just chatting to a friend today who admitted that she was so desperate for a set of four (non folding or stackable) dining chairs on eBay that she travelled 30 mins on the train (she lives in London and doesn’t drive) convincing herself that she’d be able to pick them up by hand and carry them back on the train 🤣. Needless to say the seller thought she was mad. She ended up doing it in two trips, at one point travelling back on the train with two dining chairs in the standing area (apparently some people actually sat on them not realising they were hers!)
Reminded me of a bridezilla moment when I bought a big photo backdrop made of tissue paper that had been a window display and carried all the way from Tottenham Court Road to Lewisham on the bus and train. (It was taller than me!)
What’s the craziest thing you’ve done for a bargain?!
