The word "chinchy" is commonly used in informal conversations or informal writing to express a negative judgment or complaint about the perceived lack of value in something affordable.

It can also be used to describe a person who is unwilling to spend money or is overly frugal, especially to the point of compromising quality.
The word "chinchy" originated from the American slang term "chinch" which meant "a cheap person" or "one who avoids spending money."
