APAD:if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys

if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys

Etymology

A reference to peanuts (“especially of a salary: a very small or insufficient amount”) (originally US slang dating to the mid 20th century) and monkey (“a person of minimal intelligence, idiot”), with a humorous allusion to the fact that monkeys are fond of nuts

(Britain, informal) Offering a low payment or salary will not attract skilled workers or employees.

Synonyms: good work ain't cheap, cheap work ain't good; if you pay bananas, you get monkeys

U get what U pay for, workers or goods.

Monkeys also like play silly tricks, thus monkey business ;)

penny-wise but pound-foolish

buy cheap, buy twice.

haha, can pay 3 peanuts in the morning, 4 in the evening:))

Most monkeys think themselves smart :-)

Like filling a sugar jar with salt :-)

You get 3 wise monkeys？A good deal！

哈哈，你这观察力也忒细啦！猩猩和猴子是不是嘴长得不一样？这个看不出尾巴的区别吧？
