Definition

一分钱一分货:

Literally means:

the higher the price, the better the quality; you get what you pay for

Actually means:

When you pay one cent, you get something that is worth one cent. It means that different prices are associated with different qualities of products.

It is used to mean that commodities are priced by their quality the higher the price, the better quality, and the reverse is also true.

出一分钱,只可以买价值为一分钱的东西。指付出的代价不同,所得东西的质量也不同。

用来说明东西是按照质量来论价钱的,价钱高则东西好,价钱低则东西差。
