I noticed the last four Harry Potter books in a new charity shop's window, snapped them all up for a fiver, and then I popped into WHSmith and got one of the Harry Potter colouring books with 25% off so I'm a happy - yet a very nerdy - Ruby

What's your favourite recent bargain?

Somewhere in North Norfolk

A new cordless Bosch drill/driver. It was very cheap on Amazon Prime day. My previous one died a couple of years ago and I've been relying on a corded one because I've not been able to justify the cost of replacing it.

I absolutely shouldn't have bought it but it was too good a deal to ignore.

Before that it was a new babydoll.

A free tree!

Yep you read right; my neighbour let me cut up a tree that fell last winter in his garden. It means I won't need to spend £180 on wood for my wood burner next winter and possibly the next too!

Stag dressing table at auction for £5

Opened it and found a four sterling silver dressing set from 1927, made a nice profit on that one

Most recent was a modern Queen Anne style chaise lounge I got for £60 and flipped it for triple the next day....business has been good lately!

I gave my neighbour a free tree and all he did was whinge. It was hardly my fault it hit the greenhouse when it fell into his garden.
