I was at a Pipe Band Contest in Belfast a number of years back and bought a ticket (well two) for a charity draw for a kids hospital fund raiser, it was to win a set og bagpipes. Low and behold got a call a week or so later to say I had been drawn as the lucky winner, my son who was learning was gifted them, giving them his own set of pipes to practice and learn on, still using them now.

Other half bought 1 ticket, from one of these draws that pop up on FB, he won a £950 motorbike helmet

My local home bargains had 12x 500ml cans of 'liquid death' sparkling water for 99p recently - I stocked up, as aluminium cans are far more recyclable than plastic bottles, and it's cheaper than even supermarket brand 2L bottles to boot!

The 1£ i give to a homeless person sitting outside my local supermarket . It reminds me how fortunate I am to have my home comforts & a roof over my head .

I recently booked a two-hour coach journey for £1.70 

And in my town, all local bus journeys are now £1 after 7pm which is a pretty good bargain. Though I was delayed getting on the bus late at night a couple of weeks ago because the passenger in front of me kept querying his fare with the driver as he couldn't believe it was really only £1...
