Cheap TatOneEyedMonster 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?

Cheap T-Shirts from the marketI can't remember how much they were, but they were ridiculously cheap. At those sorts of prices, I could wear them once and throw them away, so I didn't really mind if they shrunk or disintegrated the first time I washed them.
But I hadn't banked on them not being dyed with colourfast dyes, and I washed them with some of my decent clothes. The result, predictably enough, was that my decent clothes ended up pink.
It's pretty obvious with hindsight, isn't it?
