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?

Vegas Crap Challenge!
A few years ago, I went to Las Vegas with the family. We had a souvenir tat challenge whereby we each had to purchase the crappiest souvenir we could find for $5 or less. I think I was the only one who bothered so I won by default, but I think I did pretty well:
A fluorescent pink, plastic, miniature one-armed bandit (with working arm and spinning lemons/cherries etc) magnet/pencil sharpener with "Las Vegas" on a crap gold sticker stuck to the coin tray/shavings compartment.
Best $4.99 I ever spent!
