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?

Cheap T ShirtAt a Faith No More gig in ooooh 1992, International 2 Club, manchester, I bought a £2 t-shirt from one of the bootleggers outside on the way out. I could rarely afford the £12 official ones.
15 years later, its still one of the best tshirt i own. It has outlived every other gig tshirt I could ever afford. All the print is mostly on there, its faded black but in a way thats now cool and makes all those 'fake' fashion rock tshirts look like the charlartan imposters they are.
I have to say, all factors taken into consideration, its the best item of clothing I have ever bought.

On a vaguely similar themeI bought a German army surplus shirt in November 1995 for £1, and it's still doing sterling service...

Motorhead T shirt.knock off after a gig, best T shirt ever. Worst was a Rush knock off; shrank after 1 wash, the red colouring is an odd brown/rust colour, the material is like those yellow dusters (but black). Horrid tat. And it was £10!

Wooo!Faith No More! Woo!
I had an official FNM T-shirt from 1992 - must have lasted me about 13 years... What other band can claim that 'Epic' record? :-)
