It's cheap but I'm not cheerful

There is an old saying that some people like

‘Cheap and cheerful’

Some things you buy are just cheap though

I got a water bottle cage for my bike

Just cheap

When it broke, I wasn’t cheerful

There are some things you shouldn't buy too cheap

Alibaba express was a terrible idea for my bookshelf

I could have saved $30 and had my books on the floor anyways
‘Cheap and cheerful’

I need to stay off eBay when I want to treat myself

A little more cash and my computer chair wouldn't have broken
It was cheap alright

I wasn't cheerful though

The good stuff is too expensive

I always balk at the price

But then again,

There is another old saying:

“You get what you pay for’
