cost defective

The opposite of "cost effective"; money spent on projects which ultimately backfire or fail; spending money in an ill-advised manner.

Board Meeting Speaker: People, we need to get back to basics. We need to become thrifty again! So, the board has approved the purchase of new, more environmentally-friendly furniture to replace all of our existing furniture, which we just bought new six months ago. We're going to multi-task by going green and saving green simultaneously. As a side-note...no raises for the next 2 years to help implement our new thrifty phase. Comments anyone?

Sarcastic Attendee: Yeah, sounds very "cost defective" to me!

One-sided Zero-cost Acquisition

The technical terminology for the contentious acquisition of goods or services accomplished at zero-cost to the acquirer, as known as theft.

Creative cost avoidance

When an organization or a collection of organizations or people will go out of their way to avoid paying for another person or organisation's expenses. Including intervening in the law, labour contracts. Even going as far as placing people in positions where they have to sue for remediation but cant afford it with no recourse.

Did you see or the creative cost avoidance methods used by all those people and organisation's?

Nice projection lmao. When I run out of vbucks I always load back up with the $90 option because thats about as much as it costs to refill my Corvette. It's no big deal to me because I have steady income.
