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?

Just remembered another. I should start shopping at classier establishments.
Ever been to Netto? It makes Lidl and Aldi look like Harrods.

I bought a loaf of bread for 9p. I didn't expect it to last long. My suspicions were correct. I opened it, and it was mouldy.

ROCK 'N' ROLL!
I bought an electric guitar at Netto.
A proper electric guitar. Admitedly it's no Fender in fact it's a "Starsound" but its still goin' strong to this very day (probably cos i never play it)

Sounds like an interesting shopping experience. Anyone know if there's one in Glasgow?

There is a fantastic Netto in Newmarket.
Now and again you do find the odd gem, like the oriental Vidal Sassoon shampoo, or the computer speakers that have lasted longer than any set I've owned.
