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?

Lidls is fucking aceI love lidls.
I'm writing this sipping some nice Perlenbacher lidls own pilsner, 4quid for 6 500ml bottles and it tastes great.
I've got a lidls DVD player with dolby 5.1 output and will play any dodgy downloaded weird filetype you can imagine, and even reads off memory cards. Which cost 30quid. Five years ago. And is still going.
Their pizzas are lush. Tuna steaks for a couple of quid which are gorgeous, and frozen argentinian steaks are great.
Best of all though, is the random bargains in there - it's not often you drop by your local supermarket for some milk and walk out with a chainsaw.
Though I did actually see a guy shoplifting in there, a bottle of ketchup. And he got caught. And banned. Banned from lidl, it doesn't get much lower than that...
