I absolutely adore getting cheap video games. It’s odd that new games can cost $60 (and there is cause for getting new games), but even the best games of this generation (Bioshock, MGS4, Resistance, etc.) can run only $15-$20 these days. And the classics from the past, which are just as good today as ever, can run for only $3-$10. It’s way better than just always buying the ‘hot new game’.
Cheap. It implies so much more than its supposed homonym: inexpensive. Cheap means it will break. It will fail. A cheap human being, therefore, is not someone who keeps their money close. It is someone who fails at generosity, who’s ability to care and to give is broken.

We are all cheap; relatively low. Every single one of us. No one knows what true gratitude is anymore. I’m just as guilty.

an hostel where you can sleep in a big city, a lunch eating a kebab, go walking and not with car, cambodia is a really cheap place: just because they are poor and i think it’s not right. What is cheap for me, maybe for another it’s really expansive, or it’s nothing!

cheap is going broke. cheap is giving up. cheap is settling. cheap is wanting the most for the least investment, be that fiscal or emotional.
i wish i had been cheap with you.

Stickler, no fun, no enjoyment, taking life too seriously, money’s not real – thus no point to try to save it, flimsy, negative things, sometimes worth it to be cheap though….

Cheap Thrill. Delicious torment. Plausible, in the moment. The consequences will care for themselves outside of the foreground.
But they never do.
Righteous pang in the your belly. You did it again.

My grandma says this word a lot. “Those jeans are twenty bucks? That’s cheap.” “Ma! Say inexpensive! Cheap sounds so bad!” My mom yells across thestore. Yeah. Cuz that sounds so much better mom.

The world has become cheap because the only thing people care about these days is money and how to get more of it. We’ve forgotten about kindness, support, and humanity. We have been taken over by greed.
At one point in my life I injected two definitions into this word. when I used it to describe something it usually meant that object was BOTH low in it’s price, and in its quality. Now, as I have gotten older, the separation between the definitions could not be more obvious.
Steven Suntres
Why are you so cheap? Can’t you let me at least buy the slightest pleasures in life? We have money, so what’s the deal? There’s no huge famine coming, so please stop that conceived notions. Just let me spend at least a dollar, on candy, trinkets, or any other cheap material goods.
cheap. opposite of expensive. Primark is considered to be a cheap shop. normally items which are cheap are poor quality material, and often made in foreign countries where the workers (normally young children) are exploited. tis sad! Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!! No ti

the sound birds make sometimes. I hear if very clearly this morning just outside my window. It was enthralling, calling me to come outside and enjoy spring. Or maybe it was the sound of a bird in trouble – although it sounded insistent yet not scared. But insistent it was.

Though it was originally purchased for an entirely different person by an entirely different person, the simplicity of the ring appealed to her when its intended declined to accept it. Her mother didn’t need the cute ring, though it was her birthstone; the girl wears it now, and she thinks of someone other than the boy that bought it for her (the boy that doted on her, and though she never asked and never manipulated he did anything he thought she would want and that, ultimately, was what drove her away).
things that are affordable. things that people crave. things that people want everything to be. it can be related to many things.. money, appearances, textures, quality it can be good and bad. it can be a compliment or an insult.

Dave
You are cheap, I am not. I spend money on stuff I see as an investment in the long run. You hardly spend any money at all. If it over a dollar, you’d contemplate for hours and refuse to buy it in the end.
rei
it was a coward’s blow. it was conjured from vile and corruption, a bitterness that he was unable to swallow against his furious wrath. he struck from behind, a poison blade to the spinal cord, leaving the target grasping for life.
Living it cheap. That is how he did it. No investment in grades. No poneying up in relationships. Played it as it went. No need to pay when you could have it all for free. The only price he payed was tucked deep inside, noone could see it.
Cheap can be an ugly thing… Too much make up, clothes with too much plolyester within them or elastane. However, “cheap” can also be beautiful… A leather bound book in a charity shop or a forgotten designer handbag.
Millie
Cheap. Ive been living on the cheap for a while. Economy sucks, schools expensive blah blah blah. Plus those damn cheap bastards using the newbie cannons in MAG, use a real gun!
The ring is clear in parts, where the paint chipped off or faded over time. It’s stupid, this ring–it used to be green but now looks orange in places. It doesn’t even fit anymore. She keeps it in a box on her dresser that she never opens and one day she’ll forget about it and throw it away.

Nobody wants to be considered as a cheap. It would mean that he or she is not willing to pay appropriate money for a certain thing in question.
Cheap. That’s what Marta was. That is, according to the rest of her class. Day by day, she walked on and on through the field of hate her classmates planted. She couldn’t afford anything. Nothing as fancy or expensive as the other girls. She didn’t feel pretty without their clothes.

the opposite of in-exepxnsive. if everything were cheap people wouldn’t have to spend a lot of money on things but then again the value of the dollar would go down but there would be more rich people but less people working to earn money and make life go on. It would be sad and nothing would get done.
Alana
talk is cheap. it’s a popular expression, presumably because actions speak louder than words. which is another popular expression. i don’t think talk is always that cheap. words are important.
Blake
Cheap tricks are fun. I had all I could handle last night, out on the back porch. The time passes too fast when are alone in a bubble above the world.
‘Cheap’ is the thing – the knickknack, the yard sale item – that you see when browsing around a thrift store with your friends. You all laugh at it, but you secretly sneak back later to buy it, because it’s just so unusual that you can’t fathom passing it up.
Cheap is what you need when you don’t have lots of money. Cheap things aren’t always bad people, I mean sometimes there good like flea markets or Costco:)

Many things in life are cheap. Talk is cheap, for example. It takes actions to prove what you say. Happiness is cheap if you try to find it in simple things, such as friendship, love, family, birds chirping or a good song. Just because something doesn’t cost very much money, it doesn’t mean it’s cheap.
Mallory
i have no money and since i have no money i have to be cheap. but i dont want to be cheap. i want to be able to buy nice things. but i cant because i cannot afford nice expensive things. i have to be able to get through college first. maybe when i have a degree i can buy nicer things. but im an art major so ill probably be poor when im older anyway.
Vikki
wow! it was cheap,(it was a pretty doll that could talk and do tricks) it was 15$ last week now it was 1$! she bought it and took it home. at home she took it out and played with it., it was the best toy ever!

I believe in communism. In communism, nothing is cheap. You’re all the same. We’re all the same. We are all communists.
Doesn’t cost a lot! I usually get ear infections from those earrings. I consider cheap around $5 or below when it comes to small things. More often $1 and below!
