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?

*Smug grin*Thankfully it has been indoctrinated in me by my mother from an early age that you get what you pay for. Therefore I only go to the cheap shops If I want something I will only use once and then throw away - like loo roll. Even as a student I baulked at buying cheap goods as I knew it was a false economy.
Although I did buy my nephew this huge bag of small plastic green soldiers for £2.50 that he loves playing with.
