This is a question False Economies

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

I bought the cheapest corkscrew in the shop. It snapped on the first bottle of wine, making it impossible to get to the grape booze inside. Waste of money and wine.

Coathangers don't even get you slightly drunk.

Why didn't you just use a sword to chop the neck of the bottle off?

I bought a cheap corkscrew once
The screw part went straight as I attempted to extract the cork.

One option is always to push the cork into the bottle. Another involves a shoe and a wall.
