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 first heard this story in 1987. Can't remember which university was in the story, but I do remember hearing it form a guy at University of East Anglia. I think it was still claimed to be someone in Scotland.
