Mine has to be a 100w bulb from Woolworths, two for a quid back when I bought them in 1998.

When I moved here in 98 one of the first jobs was to put up an outside light over the back door, not used to it being that dark having moved from London
Put light up with above mentioned bulb and its still working despite being out in the elements all those years, used almost daily too.

Come to think of it the light itself hasn't done bad, only got a cheapo plastic coach light lookalikey from Great Mills as a stop gap, probably a tenner or less.

Way to go for the record though, think that belongs to a bulb still working from the 1920's

I keep finding these hendersons relish steak pies for a mega bargain at. My.local coop
 
Not quite a bargain.. but my new G3X purchased from Jessops the other day for £350 seems like a bargain to me given the price at John Lewis!
 
Mines photography related.
I bought a cheap 120cm Octabox, which turned up 4 weeks later (on a slow boat from China).
On 2nd use the brolly mechanism broke, really cheap crap. I emailed them pictures and they gave me a complete refund.
A nice bloke then gave me a better quality central rod, and it's worked brilliantly ever since. So I got a decent quality 120cm Octa for free (proper result)
 
My MBP, paid £840 in 2010 and I still have it running faster than before after I put in a 512G SSD.

The cheapest computer i ever bought and the one that lasts the longest.
 
Got a £70 jacket for £6 in m&s when they scanned it at the till, they said it must of been a return for some reason but couldn't see a thing wrong with it.
 
I think I've an eye or two for real bargains. Recent one: Godox TT685N £8 delivered not working due to bad flash. After few attempts and going through few friends computer, managed to flash latest FW3.0 and all working now :banana: . Also receieved Panasonic LX5 that was advertised in wrong section on bay market for £42 :LOL:.
