Cheap Tat
OneEyedMonster 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?

Poundshop Inkjet Cartridges
My Dad, ever on the lookout for a bargain bought some compatible inkjet cartridges from a poundshop.
I was then called to clean out his printer when all of his photos came out with a green tint, then the black cartridge cracked and leaked.
There was no hope, and the printer had to be junked and a replacement bought...
..and guess what he did when the ink in the replacement ran out...

bought tesco ink cartridges once
They were expensive, and really crap. Bought a load of £2.99 ones from a dodgy looking internet shop...and they're perfect! Use them all the time now and they've never failed me once.
