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?

Don't fuck razors....that would really hurt.
As for cheaper tampons, as I recall (at my Uni at least, and this is 15+ years ago) it was about getting VAT dropped for er...feminine hygiene products...since they're not really a 'luxury item' (and incidentally, razors were not subject to VAT). I think this might've changed now, though.
