Chintzy: (adj) cheap and of poor quality.
It’s no accident that “save a buck” rhymes with “bad luck.”
There certainly is validity to the proverb which warns, “Let the buyer beware,” but there is greater value in this euphemism: “Let the buyer 
BE aware.”
Sometimes money does buy quality.
Sometimes trying to get a deal ends up with very little appeal.
Sometimes the effort and time you put into trying to save a dime costs you twenty dollars in exhaustion.
Sometimes you go ahead and pay for what you want because you want it–even though you know in two weeks it’ll be on sale.
Sometimes you have to realize that squeezing a dollar doesn’t really work that well–because the ink’s dry.
Sometimes being thrifty is a synonym for being chintzy.
And the best way to make a million dollars in the United States–if you have no conscience about how you do it–is to offer an inferior product at a lower price, with no guarantee.
That way, you can make all your profit margin, and even though people are very angry, you can calm your hurt feelings on the way to the bank.
Let the buyer BE aware.
It’s fine to look for a good deal–seeking one out is often merely uprooting the selfish rodents and the cheating cockroaches from the wall.
