Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

We were that poor when I was a kid....Our clothes were given to us by the Education Department (Leopold Street Building in Sheffield, if anyone knows it - it's a posh wine bar now) at discount rates.
I remember the sweaters cost about £2.00. They felt like it too - just look at them the wrong way and the sleeves would fall off, never mind playing football in the school yard or having a scrap in the corridor...
Thing is, most of the estate we lived on were in the same boat, so most of the kids on Shiregreen had the same clothes in the 80's.
Good times.
