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?

Buying in bulk.My flatmates always buy in bulk. This is not your usual studenty type flat, no, we have hundereds of tins of food that are past their 3 year sell by date, and amusingly lots of packs of "condor brand extra large condoms"(this startled me, as when unravelling one for fun, i realised how insignificant i am. They must work though, condors are almost extinct).
The best thing we have though by far, is a bag of ONE HUNDRED or so of those little plastic "rayguns", where you pull a crappy trigger, something sparks about inside and it goes "VREEEOWM!"
I have no idea what induced them to buy all these... "Rice? Check. Tinned peaches? Check. Bulk pack of cheaply manufactured plastic rayguns? No, we still have the last bag to get through."
pfft.
