This is a question Cheap Tat

OneEyedMonster 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?

Hello!
olivier8:
Howdy - thanks for the kudos. 'Organic' meaning none of the funny additives we 'Merkins typically douse our dairy (and other food) products with. So organic milk's ingredient list would be just..milk. (Oh, I see your point.) The Brie is long gone, but I'm sure it was pretty close to the 'sell by' date; as I recall, it was (surprisingly) tasty.

olivier8 & Desalater:
The only trouble with the 'back of the inventory' rule at Rainbow is that usually a given load o' product has the identical date on all the units - and it is usually a date in the (often not-so-recent) past!

twiceydrinker:
Mrs. luvtub thanks you and strongly recommends www.diamonds.com for all your rock-shopping needs.

cheesehead:
Hi. You are too kind and make me want to delurk more often. ;-)
