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?

Sachet LoveAs well as buying cheap tat all the time (which I blame on him being a hackney kid), my dad cannot leave a restaurant or cafe without taking at least 10 sachets off the table with him. Whether it's macdonald's ketchup or the 5p salt you get in the greasy spoon, my dad has it. Whenever i've asked him why he does it, he always answers: "Well, you never know when the time might arise when you need a sachet of salad cream."

Argh....I hate that. My folks do the same bloody trick.
And, they often collect them when there is more than enough brown sauce, mayonnaise, or whatever. They don't even have a clearly defined "Best Before End" date on them either, so they could have been sitting there for ages.
