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?

Super Glue15 tubes of super glue for a pound! What student could resist, even when they have no real need for said super glue?
It turned out to be a good thing that I didn't really need to use it, as the glue was certainly not super, and was only relatively more adhesive than air. Quite why they thought it necessary to include a tube of de-bonder I'm not sure.
There was also the toaster owned by my ex-flatmate. Costing a mere two pounds from Tesco, and capable of toasting a whole two slices at a time, it started to melt itself after a whole two uses.
Length? It lasted about a week in total, then went out the window.

15 tubes for a pound is pushing it a bit6 for a pound is the way to go. i made the mistake of leaving a pack of those lying around when some of my then-housemates were pissed. the glue certainly did its job, judging from the number of items that were stuck the the ceiling the next morning.

Well I had the choiceWell I had the choice of buying 6 or buying 15, so how could I say no to the 15? Luckily mine wouldn't hold anything to the ceiling.
