A dime a dozen: meaning and use in English
What do you remember about this?
Show explanation
Use a dime a dozen to say that there are many things like it and they are easy to find: 'Cheap phone cases are a dime a dozen near the station.' It does not mean that each item costs ten cents. The phrase is informal and can suggest that the thing has little distinction in that context.
At the market, plain key rings were a dime a dozen.
