Cheap Tat
OneEyedMonster 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?

me too
lidl is great! some of their products are admittedly crap (like the washing liquid i bought that smelt of piss) but most of it's at least comparable to the own-brand stuff that costs twice as much in the sainsburys over the road. and there are definite gems in there - their pizzas, for instance, are possibly the best frozen pizzas i have ever tasted. and i can always appreciate a massive bag of assorted chocolate biscuits for a pound.
