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?

KS cheddarI have a related anecdote; as a broke student, I used to have to buy cheap cheese. One week, I had a bit extra left, so I 'splashed out' on some Cathedral City. I was looking forward to some quality sarnies etc for a few days: what did my drunk Geordie housemate do when I was out? Ate the whole fucking block and replaced it with 'No Frills', the cheap fecker. Never forgiven are you Andrew- at least I'm not still living in Swansea...
