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 LagerWas going to a barbecue a few summers ago, that started in the afternoon, didn't want to get too sloshed, so bought some Tesco value lager, 2% alcohol, £1.19 for 4 cans. Bargain!
In the fridge they go and once chilled I cracked one open and took a sip. Hey - not bad! Not bad at all, much better than I was expecting! Cold and crisp, just right for a sunny July day!
But by halfway down the can, it was, basically, water.
I left the other three and switched to Stella.

Brew CrewMy older brother was a Special Brew drinking crusty squatter for a good few years, and he maintained that the 'Best Before' inscription about an inch from the bottom was advice as to where to stop drinking it.
For those fortunate enough to be unaware of this mighty lager, it's 9% alcohol and, unless drunk practically in one go, would be warm and repellant before you reached the halfway mark.
Niiiice

Never did the value stuffbut Tescos own Export lager (the yellow can one) is actually not too shabby. I practically lived on it in my student days, and during parties, would just keep it in the fridge and pour glasses for guests as needed.
