So bargain hunters, what are your best bargains?

[black_n_white]

I love a good bargain and will always shop around for the best price before I buy *anything*.

I've had some very good deals on rugs and my Mark Todd jumping boots from Equestrian clearance, a huge bucket of half price garlic from Feedmark, and a pair of Hunter joddy boots for £25 at Badders last year.

What are your bestest bargains?

[Zippydoodles]

Ariat Heritage II zip boots and close contact chaps for £115 instead of £188! and a Stephens sheepskin half pad (custom made) for £35. Should of been £75 so not bad I thought

 

[ironhorse]

Barbour show jacket (unworn) from ebay for £70 - the most flattering jacket I've ever had, sadly they don't make them any more!
Mark Todd rugs half price when old dairy have their sale.
Breathable nylon show sheet from the USA for about £20 - don't know what I'd do without it, keeps madam nice and cool in show stables and resists poo stains!
Hoodies in 'last seasons' patterns at reduced prices from Western Scene - she doesn't care if it's last season's patterns, they fit the best and are stretchy and comfy.
Sorry, could go on, terrible bargain hunter!

From a local charity shop about 3 years ago - a brand new genuine Drizabone long riding coat for £8.00. It must have only just been donated because it was hung up on the door of the "ironing" room, had no price on it yet and was about to be steam cleaned (thank goodness I got to it before the steam cleaner did!).
