  1. cheap skates are the ones that you buy without really trying on properly and then when you go out for your first game of hockey your feet really hurt and you learn that you were the real cheap skate…

  2. I hate cheap things. I can´t afford anything which isn´t a cheap thing. Easy come, easy go, right?

  3. he took me to mcdonalds, made me pay for my own meal. he took me to the dollar movie theater, then we went to a motel…. He says he left his wallet in the movie theater, but I could feel it as he pushed me into the room i had just paid for.

  4. My shoes. They’re cheap… but they’re the only ones that fit. Recently i went to the same store i bought them and my friend (with beautiful perfect little feet) asked me “Don’t they make your feet smell”. Unfortunatly i had to say “Yes”… but sadly, i don’t have the option of buying lovely, EXPENSIVE shoes like she does because my enourmous feet just won’t fit into them. *sighh… you win some, you lose some :) (But, i still like my cheap shoes).

  5. I dont like seeming cheap. but I am. My mom has raised me to buy cheap and not spend alot, but still look good. Ive been trained to not even look at the stuff near the front of stores. I always make a bee line to the back and look through the sales rack. I manage to find really cute things.

  6. Clothes. Women and men. Why do people have to worry about money so much? Because it is important. When people say they don’t care about money, they are lying. Or trying to sound cool. Sure, money doesn’t mean much when you have people, and if I could give up money or the people in my life, I would choose money. Gosh I could say so freaking much right now but there are only 60 seconds

  7. I’m cheap. Like, super cheap. I went out for dinner tonight; it definitely was not cheap. But I didn’t have to pay, so it was okay. I guess. I still felt bad. I just don’t get people who spend ridiculous amounts of money on things. They’re just things. Not that important. At least I don’t think they are. I don’t care too much for money, cuz money can’t buy me love.

  8. I never liked money anyway. It’s what you call the man next to you who refused to pay for the root beer float you are now enjoying. How I never liked him anyway…

  9. Cheap? A cheap suit. A cheap businessman, in a cheap suit. Tweed, maybe there’s patches on the elbows. I don’t know. But he wants to get you in a cheap car, today. Cheap parts, cheap construction, cheap all the way. Until you land in the hospital, that’s when things get a bit pricey because you bought dicey.

  10. Cheap. Like a loss for words…like “I’m sorry” when a lifetime of attention is worth giving. The apology after the fact. Cheap words come with 20/20 hindsight

  11. cheap is not the worst thing a person could hope for being poor is.

  12. you cheap bastard how could you possibly thing my heart was worth so little? you tossed it out, wadded up in gum like it was used up and pointless. Well, I’m not used up and pointless and you’re cheap soul ruined all of that. I was ready to be the queen of your heart, the champion of everything, but you’re just a beggar on the street without enough dedication to find worth in anything

  13. He is a cheap bastard and I hate him for all of the things he stole from me. My happiness, my innocence, my peace of mind. And now, now, after all of this time, he tries to butt back in my life, talking about La Davina Comedia, like he’s so awesome, and impress me with his reading–think again.

  14. Sick. Cockblocker to my ambition. It is my dream to ditch this popsicle stand and get somewhere, go west. All you need to do is pay my one-way flight ticket outta here, asshole.

  15. cheap
    stereotypes of religion
    consumerism…i don’t like consumerism
    cheap
    Is an item cheap or is a person?
    Is this a complement or a personality flaw?

  16. cheap. its such a distasteful word. I hear it and I cringe a little bit. I don’t associate it with anyone. but the words sleazy and greasy come to mind. and teenage culture.

  17. This is what I’m afraid of being. I’m frugal, not cheap, but some people don’t see the difference. I habitually rinse out plastic baggies and reuse them. Is this so weird?

  18. The scent of the liqour lingered on strong. A sweet baritone from the night before now rings in my ears. no regrets. I regret everything. Nothing left, Yet I have everything.

  19. I don’t buy a lot of cheap things. Most of the things I like to buy are very nice and expensive. Sometimes I feel bad because it’s not my money being spent but c’mon. It’s not my fault that the best things in life aren’t free. Still, why do I carry this incessant guilt with me about having more financial privileges than a lot of my friends. I mean I have a lot of nice shit. Except I was recently robbed.

  20. Its tough being cheap….. but its worth it most of the time, because you will than have money to go adventures!

  21. The cheapest thing you could do is buy a kid a gift at a dollar store. The kid doesn’t want it. You didn’t want it. Why would you be the son of a bitch to do that? It’s beyond me. I appreciate the thought, but not if it’s the last-minute-on-the-way-to-the-birthday-party thought. Seriously. Don’t be such an asshole. You know who you are. Fucking asshole.

  22. Why are you so cheap with my heart? Why do you never take care of it like you promised you would? Why do you treat me like I am nothing when you tell me I mean everything to you? Why?

  23. things are often cheap. I like cheap things. they generally cause delight, mostly in the form of squeals and other forms of jubilation. I especially like cheap things when they involve ovens, for oven chips are truly a grace on mankind. Indeed, there are also cheap pizzas and cheap sweetcorn, more than any man or woman could possibly dream of.

  24. cheap. my clothes. my jewelry. my tissues. me.
    some days i wish i wore more cheap.
    and some days i wish i only wore betsey johnson and calvin klein.

  25. My husband is cheap. Even if he likes to go somewhere if it costs too much and he can afford it he still won’t go. But he’ll spend one dollar at a time, one dollar at a time, one dollar at a time until his money is gone… won’t even blink but won’t spend those same dollars on one expensive item. What is the sense in that? He learned it from his parents. He was a good student. They have nothing. We’ll have nothing

  26. It’s crazy how certain races can be categorized into being cheap, yet the stereotype turns to be true. Take indians for example: They generally have some generation that came from out of the country, as immigrants.

  27. Too many people in the status quo are selfish. It’s awful to have to say that, but it’s true. I really wish it wasn’t human nature for humans to be so obsessed with money. Hell, I probably am too, but at least I don’t kill people attempting to obtain more of it. It’s sad. It’s just sad. We invade other nations, kill other people, and mock other cultures, to try to get more money.

  28. Something that is not brand name, not made well. Like that piece of clothing that you get from Aero or Abercrombie and falls apart within several wears. Something that you can pay two dollars for and feel good about it because you’re a poor college student. A five dollar meal on a Sunday night when the dining halls are closed. Or maybe even that good deal that you got on an $80 item from J. Crew or Ralph Lauren. Now that’s cheap.

  29. It is a cheep move. The board is going to remove the choral program. My happiness has been momentarily shattered. I will move on but not with out a fight. My ‘cheap’ letter will have to suffice.

  30. cheap. it’s a very disliked word to describe a person. cheap is when you won’t buy a dollar cheeseburger at mcd’s cause it’s too expensive. frugal and cheap are two different things. frugal is responsible. cheap is just. . . cheap.

  31. Cheap is as cheap does. it falls below the belt . it wastes away. it dries the heart.

  32. cheap. am I cheap? I think I’m frugal not cheap. What is cheap as opposed to frugal? Would you shell out money for something no matter the cost if it will bring some happiness to someone’s life? I will. No questions asked. No second thought. But I will be thrifty with me.

  33. I am, actually. Most of the time. There’s just something victorious in paying less, getting more, and knowing that someone else worked harder to get what you’ve got. Well, that makes it sound nasty, but really it isn’t. Cheap can be minimal – giving that extra to something that needs it. Like buying milk “managers special” so I’ll have those extra dollars to pay for a different edible to give to a friend. Like ice cream. And who doesn’t like that?!

  34. It is not expensive but also sounds like it is not of good quality. It could be someone who does not like to spend money or does not like to leave a generous tip at a restaurant. Cheap can be good if you are talking about necessities at a decent price.

    by Kyra on 02.28.2011
  35. Cheap is a word with multiple meanings, really. Cheap as in shoddy? Cheap as in unwilling to give or spend? Or perhaps just inexpensive. Multifaceted it is, but unfortunately most of its facets seem to have negative connotations. I also can’t help but think of Cheep-Cheeps from Mario. Those funny fish things.

  36. She was cheap. Not the kind of cheap you think of when you go to a discount store. It’s cheap like you can see her wearing away at the edges. Cheap like the dollar menu at your favorite fast food resturaunt. No, no. Cheaper. Cheaper because she had no sort of boundaries to how low she could go. She made you feel dirty, if your gaze just happened to look across her in a crowd.
    You felt violated.

  37. Its a woman. A shoe. A rent payment. Whatever it is, it’s inferior. Money is value. Money means worth.

  38. not paying for mcdonald’s cause it’s too expensive to get the dollar cheeseburger. someone who won’t get a haircut even though they desperately need it. frugal is the lesser varaition. shit i spelled that wterong. no car. help. . . .cigaret

  39. I’m not cheap, I’m frugal. It’s interesting, really, I wasn’t raised that way, so I don’t know how I got here. I’d just rather have money in the bank then stuff in my closet.

  40. dirty little things you said, “I was only tryna get ahead” you don’t think you do those things inside it hurts my pride, quite bad, but DAD, you’re not the same, the time is running out and you still play those cheap games. Don’t be afraid to loose a little. Money, Problems, Just let it go. stopping now
