I have no problems with the use of the word "economical", "lowest price", "best value for my money", being "frugal", and shopping "smart". I agree everyone has a different life style, different budgets, and different tastes. That's what makes everything so interesting.
But, I will still say, it's the use of that word "cheap". And here's the best example I can provide.
NOW ... maybe you know why I have problems with the word "cheap!"
What you missed is that the word "cheap" like many other words has more than one definition. From
merriam-webster.com:
: not costing a lot of money
: of low quality : not worth a lot of money
: charging low prices
So it's usage and meaning is dependent on the context in which it is used. So if you have problems with the usage of the word, it's not us you need to take issue with, it's those who write the dictionary!
