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?

that sounds...like a bit of a nasty wedding (to the original post, that is!) - but having just got hitched myself (for the second time, after having sworn never ever to do it again) it was my second budget wedding (first husband don't think he was really that into it, this time round we were/are dead dead skint)
We got married in a registry office, I had a lovely dress off eBay (£35!) (in fact most of the things I got off eBay) our rings were elvish love rings £22 each! We got the kiddies clothes from Asda (we have 4!) and I did the food for the party in the evening (the guy who rented us the room and the dodgy dj couldn't believe me and my 2 boys got the food out and the room done in 20 minutes - it looked nice, honest!)
All in all our wedding still cost us about £2000 if you include absolutely everything (we went on a mini honeymoon to loch ness and saw a ufo!) but it was fantastic - it was the promise we made to each other that was the important part - luckily neither of us have any snooty friends or family that expected us to get ourselves in massive debt for no reason
:D
