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?

Useless...?Might be worth looking for clementine marmalade/jam/etc. recipes...
My girlfriend occasionally despairs when I arrive home with huge quantities of very cheap bananas/apples/whatever, but they (usually) get converted to chutney or jam (before too many of them have started going mouldy, anyway).
Only thing I can think of for the cream is maybe making fudge - though whether 56 batches of fudge are any less useful than 56 tubs of cream I'm not sure.
