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?

I've seenThe two extremes -- the cheap one was a total budget of 100 quid. They spent 50 on a dress, the same on a suit (both from oxfam), blagged the use of a big garden, prayed for sun, and told everyone to bring picnics. Brilliant.
The other was rather nice too, in a fabulously wealthy kinda way -- Jesus Chapel in Oxford, bussed out to a stately home, incredible food, live music, vast quantities of champagne, etc.
Both couples are still happily married, which goes to show it's about the people, not the amount of debt you saddle yourself with.
