This is a question Cheap Tat

OneEyedMonster 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?

This is a question reply Hmm.
Just before Christmas we bought a CHF 20 (about £8.50) set of baubles from Ikea. Went in again today and they were CHF 1 (about 45 p).
So surely they were cheap tat in the first place and weren't worth the extra £8.05?

Keep the recipt? take the feckers back and get your money back. If you must have them, turn around and buy some at the lower price.
