cut-rate
Below standard price
Cut-rate describes goods or services offered at reduced prices, often implying lower quality along with the lower cost: a cut-rate motel, cut-rate insurance.
The term can be purely descriptive or carry a note of disparagement—suggesting something cheap rather than merely affordable: Some cut-rate contractor did the wiring.
