What products have you bought that were really CHEAP but have turned out to be suprisingly good?

?

The IKEA mini whizzy thing, £1.99 and makes brill cappuchinos and frothy milkshakes and means I can have hot chocolate without finding lumps of unmixed powder.

IKEA kids plates, bowls and plastic cups.

IKEA bath mat, less than £2, longer than average so covers most of the bottom of the bath (Boots extra long mat is about £10) and lasts longer than every other one I've tried before going black and mouldy.

2True make up from Superdrug. 3 items for £5. Eye pencils and shadows v v good.

A lasagne ready meal from asda, in green box, can't remember exact one. Had it for tea last night.
Put it in the oven thinking 'oh well may as well have that sloppy lasagne for tea' as I was on my own. It was bloomin' lovely. It actually tasted like a lasagne..amazing!

£1 plastic step stool from pound shop - for getting up onto toilet, washing hands in sink, climbing into bath, table for doll's picnic, extra seat for tiny guests etc, etc.

For DD's use obv

I agree with quite a few on here - Ikea plastic bowls, cups etc, and definitely bath mats - I used to stock up on them until DS took to sitting at one end of it and DD at the other with the entire bath mat between them. Smartprice passata another good one. Also got a set of two white oven dishes from Ikea when I was a student in 1992. They lasted 15 years but have now cracked so I have replaced them with the exact same ones for £2.99.
