The technical terminology for the contentious acquisition of goods or services accomplished at zero-cost to the acquirer, as known as theft.
Mr. Robinson acquired the paraphernalia of an urban pharmaceutical technician, colloquially known as a drug dealer, at prices of totalling zero. His one-sided zero-cost acquisition was successful until Jeremiah showed up to the door demanding payment.

Get the One-sided Zero-cost Acquisitionmug. The opposite of "cost effective"; money spent on projects which ultimately backfire or fail; spending money in an ill-advised manner.
Board Meeting Speaker: People, we need to get back to basics. We need to become thrifty again! So, the board has approved the purchase of new, more environmentally-friendly furniture to replace all of our existing furniture, which we just bought new six months ago. We're going to multi-task by going green and saving green simultaneously. As a side-note...no raises for the next 2 years to help implement our new thrifty phase. Comments anyone?

Get the The Cookie Costmug. This is a common olden saying that was said a lot back in the olden days. I think I heard someone say this one time awhile ago. You'd rather have a horse that could walk to the water, than two horse that'll cost me more in the long run.
Man that reminds me of the saying "I’d rather a good horse that’ll walk to the river, than have to buy 2 bad horses that will ultimately cost more in the long run"

Get the I’d rather a good horse that’ll walk to the river, than have to buy 2 bad horses that will ultimately cost more in the long runmug. Refers to the mildly-indignant answer that you snortingly "toss back" at a seemingly-impertinent clueless who naively asks why you don't "just buy your way out" of a moderately-inconvenient/difficult/unpleasant situation, his not being familiar with the enormous financial outlay that said "easy-solution" choice/action would entail.
Two typical/everyday examples of an astronomical-cost retort would be with regards to having a garage come and pick up your presently-non-drivable vehicle instead of having a friend help you tow/push it the few miles to the garage with another vehicle ("Yeah, **sure** I could --- for a nice HUNDRED-BUCKS TOWING-CHARGE!"), or if you presently have to turn your well-pump on and off manually because it's "on its last legs" and so you always have to be "right there and ready" to quickly turn the pump back off to avoid damage if it doesn't immediately start up when you power it on ("Oh, yeah --- new pumps are indeed available --- you got an extra THOUSAND BUCKS OR MORE JUSS LAYIN' AROUND to get one installed??!"). Never fails to shut the impudent inquisitor right up!
