Whether it's 50p or £50k, what is the best purchase you have EVER made?

My wife's wedding ring. She's been very good to me.

A leaf blower and a chain saw. Total game changers.

But had to have my two big trees taken out a while back, so the chain saw is considerably less useful to me now. I keep trying to find excuses to break it out.

My second hand Lovehoney Thrust Pro from eBay

Personal training sessions at a gym when I was vegging out about 15 years ago. lost 3 stone at the time and gave me a new lease of life. Still doing them with the same trainer.

Dunno ... But the best present anyone got me was a nice chef knife 13 years ago.

Found a leather recliner chair in a charity shop for £5.

It had a broken mechanism which I fixed myself.

Googled it and it is worth £1.5k

Been going strong for 5 years now and is the comfiest chair I’ve ever owned.

My basement flat in Goldstone Road in Hove, 1983, £17k .... sold 18 months later for more than double, £39000 .. got me on the road to mortgage free by the age of 40.

Also, I bought an old Islamic brass and silver inlaid bowl at a church table sale in Bideford for 50p.. sold it online auction for £575 to a buyer from the US.
