I have gotten all my camper cookware from Goodwill along with a whole set of table utensils and dishes. Must total no more than $25.

(Not camping but got a new iRobot Roomba for $25 at Goodwill, and it had a part not working. Registered the Roomba and the company sent me a new part, which did not work, and then switched out the entire thing for a new one that is still shuffling along.)

I bought my tent at goodwill for $35 when my friend bought the same one online for over $100.  I LOVE the tent too!

Another time the person in front of me in line had a NEW cammelback.  Now I go straight to the camping section and don't stop till I check that first 🙂

I got a 2 room shower tent for $1 at a yard sale. Guy said if anything didn't have a price it was a $1.

For camping:  Flatware - we have several thrift stores in the area that sell for about 25 cents per piece; I've stocked the PUP with their heavy-gauge, aesthetically pleasing (though unmatched) pieces.  I think the best score was a Hoffritz stainless steel long-handle BBQ-style spatula for $2.

Non-camping:  Etienne Aigner leather boots (original box, original box packing materials/shoe stuffing/cardboard), no signs of wear (I'm not exaggerating) at a 50% off sale; they were $2, yes, $2.  WOW.
