Funny that there is no word for "cheap/inexpensive" in French, and you have to revert to "not expensive". I guess it says it all.
Don't you like France? Or has a french person upset you?
Think I will pour another glass of wine while I contemplate the quality of life in a civilised and literate country.
We would just translate "pas cher" as "not dear" where dear in USA lingo can mean expensive.
