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?

A QUID!Whilst on holiday at the seaside I came across a delightful little shop called "Pound World" in said shop I discovered a BB gun, no joke a PROPER spring loaded BB gun for the sum of one English pound! I was thrilled until I broke the magazine for the little gun the very next day. Oh well the few hours of enjoyment I had messing around with it in the caravan was well worth the pound I spent on it. Shame the shop wasn't called "50p World" or i could have ran around going "50 p!" just like the annoying kid on that electronics shop advert.

Ahhhh.....I remember when I went to North Cheshire college my mate chipped in 50p towards a 5 piece child's music set from a pound shop. We had hours of fun playing on a 5 inch untunable guitar, a bass drum, a bizarre trumpet-cum-kazoo, a plastic cymbal and a pretend headset microphone. We actually sat outside in the rain for 2 hours 'busking'. We sang songs such as 'Janie don't you take your love to town' (Bon Jovi version) and an amazing 35 minute rendition of 'I can't get no satisfaction'. We made about £9 and went off and bought some chips.
