This is a question 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?

Kwik-Save No Frills Instant Coffee
I was on the dole and broke, in dire need of a coffee and down to me last few coppers. Instead of a glass jar or even a plastic pot it came in a paper sachet. How bad could it be? The stencil typeface on the front should have been enough warning.

I made a cuppa, took one sip and dumped the contents of the mug down the sink and the packet into the bin. It was evil. Mind you, it was only about 50p.
