somewhat expensive · a bit costly
You're shopping, you see something cool, but the price tag makes you wince a little. 💸 This phrase perfectly captures that moment when something is nice, but maybe a *tad* more than you hoped to spend. It's not "OMG I can't afford this," more like "Hmm, I like it, but my wallet's doing a little cry." 😂
💡 **Fun Fact!** This isn't just for fancy stuff! Even everyday items can be "pricey" if they're more expensive than usual. It implies a mild reluctance due to cost, without being rude. You can also say 'It's a bit on the pricey side' for an even softer touch! 😉
When would you most naturally say, "It's a bit pricey"? A. When an item you like costs more than you expected. B. When you find a great deal on something you love. C. When an item is exactly within your budget.
