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?

Tesco Value MincePicture the scene if you will. A young couple move into their first place, typically we can only cook 3 different meals. Spagetti bolognaise being one of them.
One month money was tight and looking for things to cut back on meat fell into the firing line. Given that Mr.vampyre eats more meat than an emaciated trex in hindsight buying a 1kg bag of tesco value mince wasn't the decision of the century.
Cue tasteless bolognaise for 2 months, a very icky stomach and us throwing half of it out and vowing never to cut back on meat.
We now feast on premium bacon, quarter pounders, sausages and lean lamb mince. Yum.
Tesco Value Mince = Quite literally 'bag 'o' crap' (or hooves and ash, not quite decided yet)

Tesco value minceIs shit, agreed. And full of fat.
However, whilst on the subject of cheapness (and don't laugh) I have found that Aldi's mince is fantastic - hardly any fat, and less than £2 for a half kilo. Same with their chicken breasts - absolutely no water in them, unlike Asda or Morrisons, which means that it is possible to do a stir fry without boiling it to fuck...
Mind you, their steak looks well suspect - I'd avoid that.

'Value' Mince/Burgers/PiesKnown in my household as minced brains & bollocks.
I'd rather go down the route of terminal flatulence and use lentils any day.

Davros' granddadActually Aldi steaks are very nice! They do look a bit suspect but thats because they are in some weird vacuum packaging stuff.
They cook nice and taste excellent, i recommend.
