Bang for one's buck
this expression means value in return for the money.
Bang for one's buck.
Welcome back to the Vocab Man, I am Daniel, and I'm really glad that you made it back on my channel or on my podcast. This time this is gonna be great, because again, we have special guest Ahmad from Senegal, who you may know from episode 32, for example. In which Ahmad explained the expression to come to terms with.
And on episode 36, he was explaining to put someone on the spot.
Bang for the buck, bang for the buck, bang for the buck.
This expression means value in return for the money.
If you get a bang for the buck, you get a better result for the amount of effort or money that you have put into something.
Mind you. The word buck is an English slang for a dollar. Here we go.
This is an example of this express. Which of these brands will give me the best bang for the buck. Imagine you went to the market ready to buy a mobile phone. You saw, or you see a Samsung and an Apple mobile phone. And you're asking your friend that is actually accompanying you, which of these brands will actually give me the best bang for the buck. Means if I have to put money into one of these brands, which one would I get the better deal for.
Another example I guarantee this course will give you a great bang for the buck. If you don't believe me, read this unbiased on student reviews in the website. You want to buy a course or you want to sign up for an English course online, but you are not sure enough of the course that you're about to sign up for. You don't know whether it's worth it or is it effective enough or not? And a friend of you is advising you. Trying to persuade you into believing that this is actually the right one for you. And he said to you, "I guarantee this course will give you a great bang for the buck. If you don't believe me, read this on these unbiased student reviews in the website".
So the positive student reviews who have already experienced the course and know how effective it is will persuade you to sign up for the course too.
And here comes another example which I came across when listening to the fantastic podcast called The Relatable Voice.
And the brewery makes not only a, uh, like a wood-fired pizza where the Eucharist used to be, but on the alter, they worship the, the God of beer and they make six local microbrews.
Uh they're uh, some of which are. Pretty European in their tastes. And also I would say, in their alcohol content. But if you like beer and pizza and you like old churches and architecture, it's one heck of a place to go and you can get a bang for your buck
there.
And I loved it. So it's really excellent.
The first time I went there, I said, Is it a sin that I'm here?.
Yeah, I think, I think they play on that a lot. I mean, the fact that the is filled with beer is kind of a, it's kind of funny, but, uh, you know, it works and it's a staple of the region. I would recommend both of those.
Another example, if you can't afford to travel abroad, I'll recommend to check online. You'll get the best bang for the buck. Imagine you wanted to go to an English speaking country staying down for a little while for a while to practice your English, but you don't have enough money to do so. So I advise you and tell you, if you can't afford to travel abroad, I'd recommend to check online. You'll get the best bang for the buck means you go online instead of paying the travel fees.
You can pay a teacher or a tutor, somebody who talked to you with daily in order to practice your language. So you get a better deal compared to the traveling fees.
