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 know how you feel........My Dad was forever cutting back and trying to save us money. One of his worst ventures was making his own bread. He was crap at it and subsequently made us door stop wedge sandwiches with jam in to take to school. They were dry and nasty looking on were always ditched on the way to school to avoid embarassment.
He also used to buy packs of about 100 `pork' sausages from the freezer shop for about £2.00. They tasted okay I suppose but they were mainly fat and bread and very little pork.
I never buy cheap food products now and I'm really looking forward to a lovely M&S aberdeen angus steak tonight.
Oh the joy!
