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?

Tesco value mince
Is 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.
