giveaway prices

Almost free costs

Giveaway prices are prices so low they seem almost free, as if the seller is giving the merchandise away rather than selling it.

The phrase emphasizes extreme cheapness, often used in advertising to attract bargain hunters: Everything must go at giveaway prices!

Unlike actual giveaways, items at giveaway prices still cost something, but the implication is that the buyer is getting an exceptional deal.
