What cheap items have passed the test of time?

For me it's two Primark things. The Birkenstock copy sandals have been brilliant, I wore mine daily for 2 years and only had to throw them out because I stepped in a massive pile of dog's dirt and couldn't rescue them. Just bought myself another pair recently, well worth the £8! I also bought a pair of wide leg viscose/polyester mix trousers in Primark and they are my 'holiday' trousers. We do loads of walking, they are really lightweight and I'm hoping to get many more years out of them. I hardly have any clothes, I'm not into fashion, so these two cheap items that have lasted ages have really made me happy.

Topshop bag that’s around 25 years old which was much cheaper than the similar Jigsaw version. I think it was about £15 in the sale.

Primark teeshirts are indestructible.

This - I’ve got a couple of slim fit Primark t shirts that I must have had for over 20 years

Some Top Shop vest tops, I must have bought them 20 years ago. Had about 10 of them, still have 5 of them and still wear them.
