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?

Lidl desperationWe were in Lidl a few months ago and watched an asian man (with most of his extended family in tow) haggling over how much free bread he could have.
An aside - Lidl are the only shop I've ever seen give away produce that is going out of date rather than bin it. Good on their management.
They left the store while we were getting in the car with a trolley literally FULL of enough bread to constipate an elephant (nothing else though), and appeared to be grumbling about their haul.
I resisted the temptation to pelt the tight bastard with pennies.
