bang for the buck

Definition: Value for money being spent; high relative worth.

Example: 1) The new Mars exploration rocket gives researchers good bang for 
the buck. 2) I really like those new Toyota sports cars -- they give you a l
ot of bang for the buck.

Etymology: This phrase dates back to World War II, when it referred to weapo
ns that were cheap but destructive.
