chintziest

Cheapest and flashiest

Chintziest is the superlative of chintzy, meaning the most cheap, stingy, or tacky.

Chintzy originally described the bright, printed cotton fabric called chintz, but came to suggest gaudiness and poor quality.

That's the chintziest gift I've ever received.

The chintziest motel in town still charged fifty bucks a night.
