False EconomiesSometimes 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 once bought pork stuffing because it was cheaper than minced meat.Thereby failing to take into consideration the fact that shop-bought stuffing contains glucose syrup, several heart attacks' worth of fat and enough salt to wipe out the slug population of the British Isles.
Made a stir-fry with it. Halfway through cooking I had to take all the veg out and pour the pan's contents through a colander to remove the centimetre of grease that had sweated out of the "meat". Ate it anyway and it was fecking rank.
