  • Hello, are you ready for another phrase of the day?

  • This one was from a TV show where a couple wanted to buy a house with a limited budget.

  • That means a limited amount of money.

  • And they were frustrated that the houses near the city center were so small.

  • The real estate agent helping them search for a house told them,

  • you can get a lot of bang for your buck if you're willing to consider neighborhoods that are a little farther away.

  • This expression, a lot of bang for your buck, means a lot of value for your money.

  • So in the context of the TV show, if the couple looked at a different neighborhood,

  • they could get a bigger house with more space for the same price as the small houses downtown.

  • What something you think gives a lot of bang for your buck, excellent value for its price?
