I worked with someone like that. He'd bring the cheapest product he
could find just to say he brought something. Like he'd brag he found a
$1 pound cake mix to bring. He'd make the cake, don't get me wrong,
but his stated goal was to spend as little as possible.

This was the same guy who'd glom as much of the stuff other people
brought as he could fit on a plate.

A can of corn, that might be the absolute least amound of money one
could spend and still meet the rules of bringing food to a potluck.
