	khoff  +  123250 Tue, 02 Aug 05 06:01 AM "It is as good as cheap" does not really work well in English.  How about "it is good as well as cheap," or "it is as good as it is cheap"?  Both of these mean that the thing is good and it is also cheap  Dehbaash's suggestion, "it is just as good and cheaper too"  is fine grammatically but the meaning is a bit different - it means that thing (A) is just as good as thing (B), but thing (A) also has the advantage of being cheaper than (B). khoff Joined on Sun, Mar 6 2005 Senior Member 3,270 Native speaker of American English (but not a grammar expert)

	MrPedantic  +  123487 Tue, 02 Aug 05 11:29 PM "It's as good as cheap" sounds strange because of the conflict with expressions such as "it's as good as done". "It's as good as it is cheap" expresses equivalency, which is what you want here. MrP MrPedantic Joined on Tue, Oct 12 2004 Veteran Member 12,592 ...opella forensis / adducit febris...
