Cheap.

I have always thought the word cheap meant just that,something not great or up to par.

Now it is used for everything-cheap price,cheap replacement,cheap for the money,etc.

Why isn’t less expensive used anymore?

This is just my thought.

‘Cheap’ is the correct word. A lot of the products are cheaply made.

@ bispick…

"Cheap" sells. Makes people think they are getting some kind of rock bottom price. Personally, I find it insulting to hear the word "Cheap" used when selling a product ‘not so CHEAP’. I think it insulting even when the product isn’t high end….insulting and…patronizing.

Perhaps they feel their customers’ lack of sophistication only responds to…and buys…CHEAP? I think it goes to their perception of who "WE" are.

Soooooo annoying…(can ya tell???)…

The shopping channels will employ any message or wording to get people to buy. Their biggest market is women so that is who they target. Cheap sounds like a bargain to them. You have to ask yourself what kind of a bargain is it if you have to return it for some reason and pay return shipping.
