What was the best deal or the least you paid for any item?

Mine was a pair of shoes that were in pretty good condition for 25 cents.

I found a pair of New Balance tennis shoes on clearance for $20 Sunday. Regular price for em is about $55. I'm not sure what the best deal I ever got in my life was thou. I found a TI-Nspir graphing calculator on eBay last year new for only $1 plus $9 shipping. I think the seller accidentally put a decimal or something when he listed it & meant to charge $100 instead of only $1 because the others being sold were $150+. I wasn't looking for it & didn't need it but I got it. I had a TI-86 from when I was in high-school that I only use for basic math & to compare stats for RPG games but I can compare stats easier with a 2nd calc sometimes

$4.99 for a Pokemon Channel for Gamecube. It was brand new at Best Buy. This game was $29.99 at other stores.


No wait, I got Zelda Ocarina of time Master's Quest for a penny. A woman at KB Toys was nice to give me that game for that cent when I was buying something.

We kept getting juice for pretty much a coupon and people finally got so many that they discontinued the coupon.

I'm wearing it. Super-comfortable hoodie sweater thing retails for $120, and I found it at some clearance outlet for $10.

Well, other than my plants, of course.
I can propagate them all and make cool garden plants for absolutely free. That's a damn good deal. :roll:

Oh yes, I nearly forgot. THE best deal I've ever snagged...

About 10 years ago, I found a full-size upright piano that someone in my apartment complex had abandoned by the dumpster.
It was actually in perfect working order and looked to be something of an antique. That was an amazingly good day :D
