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?

I like your styleI did very similar myself. With my (now) wife six months pregnant and a newly inhabited (much more costly) house we were in no position for anything lavish.
Same £80 - £90 for civil ceremony
£110 for her outfit (Including shoes)
£55 bouquet & button-holes (callah lillies sp?)
£180 for my new suit & shoes (suit worn at least 10 times since)
£1400 rings Both platinum with diamond in hers (figured I'd spend on these as they're the only things that we'll keep)
£95 round of drinks for guests at nearest bar to town hall.
£210 dinner, bed & breakfast in extemely posh country hotel.
All arranged in the space of 2 months, big day was 2 weeks after moving house too.
We were at one of her friends big posh weddings the other day. Total cost estimated £35k. The bride fell over at the reception breaking her arm and spent the night in casualty, had to cancel their honeymoon etc.
