Tell us your most useful win!

We all talk about our best wins or how many we have won. But I want us to share our most useful wins!

My most useful one is our bumbo. We won it while I was pregnant and started using it when Beau was 3 months old. It now gets used multiple times a day for feeding (she is a tad too small for her highchair still). I love it and I am so glad I won it. I would have brought one at some point anyway, but it saved us 40 quid then once we are finished with it in another month or so, we will sell it for 10 maybe :D

    I won a washing machine. At the time I won it, I already had one, so it stayed in my garage for over a year. Then when mine finally stopped working, I just brought it in and it now gets used most days.

    I think my most useful wins would be pet stuff. I seem to be quite lucky with those comps. Apart from food and treats, our dogs make good use of their cushion, collar/leads and so on from previous wins. Plus I'm waiting on delivery for some more pet goodies, including food storage bins, another pet bed and lots more.

    In my first year of comping I won around £2000 with Real Deal which went towards a car and car insurance. It was unbelievable helpful because my insurance was through the roof as a young driver!

    The Dualit toaster I won several years ago is used daily, would hate to be without it.

    Probably my SEBO vaccuum! Saved us buying one when we bought our first house.

    The huge box of chocolate I won a few yrs ago! Very useful after a stressful day! :D
    Most of my wins have been useful though, except the tea bag as I dont like tea ;)
