I just bought several hundred CDs of rock music and whatnot, all decent stuff, on Craigslist for less than $.50 each. I’m going to keep what I want, sell the rest for probably $2 apiece, and turn a profit. ---

I was all set to post here with my exciting new bargain. I can only wear pretty much a couple brands of shoes because of foot problems. And those brands are really expensive. So I’m always scouring online shoe stores for great deals. The other night, I was so excited that I found a few pairs of shoes in the brand and size I wanted (style is pretty secondary) for 75% off! I was so excited. But then I got them in the mail today. And one of the shoes doesn’t have insoles. I think I need those. I called them, and they’re sending me replacement shoes, but I’m less excited than I was. This is going to be more work than I anticipated. But still. . . . 75% off! ---

I recently bought, probably brand new or worn a few times, [MBT shoes](http://www.shoes.com/Shopping/productdetails.aspx?catalog_name=web&pg=5082319&p=EC1165569&partnerid=performics2) for $5.99. ( plus 25% off.) I work at the Salvation Army. The shoes are pretty cool and I am waiting for my bikini butt to show up any day now, but I don’t think they are worth $219.00. My top price might be 50-70, if I continue to like them as much as I do as I walk the sales floor all day long like I do. ---

For the last few weeks, Stop & Shop supermarkets have been selling 16 oz. jars of Emerald Dry Roasted Peanuts for $3.19 each with a Buy One, Get One Free deal. Most of the jars have a $1 manufacturers coupon attached, making them 60¢ each after the coupons are deducted! I think I’ve bought 8 jars over the last few weeks. Yeah, I’m easily pleased. And I like peanuts. ---

Went to Best Buy for an advertised monitor. They did not have one. They sold my wife a bigger one for the sale price. ---

my gopro camera got a scratch on the lense [GoPro | World’s Most Versatile Cameras | Shop Now & Save](http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&productid=30) after contacting the people down there to see about a repair they tell me its not possible, but they will give me 40% of a new camera if I want. I have been thinking about getting more anyway so whatever, and the scratch isnt a total disaster I just wont be using that camera for the important shots. I order 2 more camera and some other gear that I need from them, total is almost 700$, I punch in the discount code and the entire order gets the 40% off…401$ ROCK!!! I just wish I had thought to pick up a few more cameras, they are so amazing I have several friends who are going to get them. ---

I bought an inversion table (for my back) for $100 that folds, has an easy foot clamp and 3 angles of adjustment. It was at MC Sporting goods. The way the handle bars are made it is easy to use and easy to fold/unfold. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-bargain-youve-gotten-lately/527176.md?page=1)
