A British expression used to say that something is worth every penny, even if it costs a decent amount.
A British expression used to say that something is worth every penny, even if it costs a decent amount. When you call something cheap at the price, you're making the point that its value or quality far exceeds what you paid — or that the cost is frankly reasonable given what you're getting. Often used with a slightly impressed or approving tone, it's the kind of phrase your uncle pulls out after a good meal or a solid deal on a used car.
