意思
Cheap things cost more in repairs.
文化背景
In local markets, bargaining is common. Shopkeepers often use this proverb to defend their higher prices against customers who want extreme discounts. South Asian parents often use this phrase to teach children the value of money and the importance of looking for quality over quantity. Traditional tailors and cobblers use this to distinguish their hand-made work from cheap, factory-made alternatives. With the rise of apps like Daraz or AliExpress in Pakistan, this proverb is frequently seen in product reviews for low-quality items.
