I don't think I can totally agree with explanation of the "cheap" part. It is not unwillingness to spend money. You do spend willing buy items hoping to save money but turn out not worth for the money. On the other hand, you do willing buy cheap stuff which doesn't need to be spent more than that. So I won't say unwillingness spend money.
