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 entrepreneurMy brother works as a tesco 'supermarket cop' and frequently buys up the shit they reduce to almost nothing before throwing in the skip.
He bought a box of about 40 or so for a princely £3.50 and planned to sell them at full sale price of £2 on ebay. I attempted to explain to him (fruitlessly) that since they come from the most popular supermarket in the UK, everyone who wanted one could have bought one - and not paid extra for p&p!
Needless to say, somewhere in his spare room resides a fecking big box of mice, untouched. His mate asked him for one, and he outright refused unless said mate coughed up the £2, tight bastard.
