Mine has got to be an old antique dresser I found that was painted turquoise. I paid $4 for it and when I got it home, stripped the paint and found underneath beautiful maple. It was well made and is in our dd's bedroom.
What was your best deal?

Wow, I have had so many, I do not know which would be my best. I do know that the games and puzzels I picked up for .50 cents each sure got us through a long hard winter with the boys.:D

A pre 1900 Roseville water jug. They aren't marked but, I had seen it in a collector's book. I paid $7 for it and it is worth well over $100. :smball:

Wow ... you girls are awesome!!
I never seem to find anything too good. Course I don't have money to go too often. But I have fun when I go, and thats all that matters. :)

Solid oak bunkbeds complete with innerspring mattresses for DS when they were young for $5.00.
Washing machine that worked perfectly for free, the lady had told her husband it didn't work so she could get a new one and just wanted it hauled off. It was a very ritzy part of town and her husband was not a Mr. Fixit so he just bought the new one with no questions ask. My DH would have had it apart and tried to fix it before even thinking about a new one :D . I used it for about 8 years before I gave it away and bought a new set.
