The joy you get from a worthwhile purchase is immense, but when you score a great price on top of it? That’s a special kind of bliss. 

In a recent Reddit thread, users weighed in the best purchases they’ve ever made that cost them less than ten bucks. Here are seven great ones.

Le Creuset Dutch Oven

Le Creuset Dutch ovens aren’t cheap; you’ll find most good ones for about $300. The company sent a Redditor an entirely free one when they asked if there was a way to repair a chip.

Cordless Dyson

$3? For a cordless Dyson? Compared to the $500 to $700 that these things can cost, that has gotta be the steal of the century.

Electric Smoker

50 cents is a very funny price to pay for something like a smoker; why not free? Either way, you probably wouldn’t catch me lighting a fire inside of a piece of machinery I bought for less than a dollar, but this person did.

Zojirushi Rice Cooker

Zojirushi rice cookers are often called some of the best in the biz, often costing anywhere from $100 to almost six times that. One commenter found one at Goodwill for under $10.

Rose Bushes

At any flower store, roses are expensive. If you can pull off what this person did, and score four free entire rose bushes for a buck, you’ll be in select company.

Bag of “Stickers”

A $5 ziplock bag full of stickers had a secret treasure hidden inside for one user: 15 sheets of Forever Stamps, about a $200 value.

100 Magic Erasers
