If you pay pocket change for tools, you get shitty tools. If you buy cheap toys, they’ll break within a couple of days.

That’s why understanding the difference between “cheap” and “inexpensive” is important.
The German word Preiswert is great for this, means ‘worth the price’ As opposed to billig - cheap.
I think the equivalent in Norwegian would be “prisgunstig” and “billig”
