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.

At Christmas I bought a lobster from Lidl
It was 'fresh frozen' and only £9. Looked like a great value.
Came to use it and once I'd thawed it, it turned out that in the big packet (about a foot long) was a load of ice containing a tiny lobster, still in its shell.
So I got 2 table spoons of lobster for £9

the Aldi ones are cheaper and actually pretty good value in terms of meat quality and weight.
