What products have you bought which were cheap but ended up being fab/lasting for ages?

[Enid]

the yellow plastic lemon squeezer I 'won' at the tombola 8 years ago (miles better than the philip stark one we used to have)
my £15 primark coat
my second hand black and white sony portable telly
some flower printed drinking glasses I bought in France about 12 years ago, they cost £4 for 6

franca70 not everyone appreciates the table. I don't understand why. Have been given some 1950;s chairs as well to go with it.

£30 Victorian table from junk shop although we had to borrow MILs soft top to drive it home
four dining chairs for £40 from another junk shop - cheap because they were splashed with paint (which picked straight off)

I have a cream mac that I bought from Tchibo it was £7 and it is v gorgeous if I say so myself
children's table and chair set from Ikea about £20 really good quality
