An enthusiastic bargain hunter has shared her incredible find online.

She picked up a fancy Le Creuset dish for only £30 in a charity shop – but was stunned by it's real value.

Intrigued by how much money she'd saved, she admitted: "I may have just casually checked the Le Creuset website: £315!"

A different commenter humorously pointed out: "When they write about privilege in future, this will be the example! Only in a fancy area could a charity shop shopper have access to pans this fancy. You're perpetuating the cycle! Now, give me the French pot!"

Another chimed in adding a note of caution: "Will cost you another few hundred to buy the inevitable matching set. Slippery slope keep us posted."

One enthusiast added: "That's
