Cheapies refers to cheap thrills — those low-effort, slightly trashy pleasures that entertain you without requiring any real investment. Whether it's a guilty-pleasure reality show, a trashy tabloid, or a budget bin horror flick, cheapies deliver a quick buzz of salacious excitement. The word can also describe bargain purchases that feel like a steal, often with the implication that you are not being very dignified about your enjoyment.
She admitted that reality dating shows were her cheapies, the kind of TV she'd never admit to watching in public.
