What does PRICEY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Costing a good deal more than one would like to spend.
This is the chatty, everyday way to complain about a bill, and it carries a faint note of grumbling that a neutral word such as costly lacks. It is formed from price with a -y ending and is far more usual in speech than the shorter spelling pricy. A pricey restaurant or pricey gadget may be perfectly good, just not obviously worth the money.
