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?

Goblin productsI wonder if anyone has come across the Goblin range of fine comestibles. I believe they're only available in independent corner shops in student towns.
Exhibit A - the Goblin steak and kidney pie in a tin about one-third the size of a normal tin. Inside, you'll find a spoonful of vivisected gristle in motor oil with a thin pap-smear of anaemic 'pastry' atop. The best method of heating is to throw in a fire in the back garden.
Exhibit B - Goblin garden peas to go with the pie. Same size tin but this time filled with some sort of haemorrhoidal offcuts in pond water. Nutritional value - about the same as a mouthful of seawater (just off the coast of Blackpool).
A flatmate of mine ate this shit for three years and seemed to glisten with a perpetual sheen of carcinogens. His farts melted his y-fronts.

I remember these....I lived with my nan when I was 18 and we had these regularly - pre vegetarian days. I seemed to remember the pies tasting delicious but my tastes were less refined then.

Shocking, isn't it.They even manage to produce cheap versions of the student / unemployed's mainstay that is the Fray-Bentos tinned pie.
