Carnivale of Couture

This week's carnivale of Couture is at the Bargain Queen and she is asking what your best ever bargain was.
Mine is probably a toss-up between my Burberry trenchcoat bought for £5.50 at a charity shop, or my Marc Jacobs 60's style flats bought for 25 squids. But really, I don't consider them to be bargains as I don't wear the coat or the shoes that often. What I really consider a bargain is my knitted blue necklace from WW2, it was made out of plastic thread to look like beads at a time when luxuries were scarce. I wear it all the time and that to me is a true bargain.
