Pay(s) for itself

When the amount of money saved equals or exceeds the cost of an item or service, usually through an extended period of time.

This is very often used as a means of promoting a good or service, such as gutters, food processors, juicers etc. As in:

"Now with Debby Meyer's green bags, you never have to throw away your produce due to spoilage! Produce lasts up to 7 times longer, saving you money and time. This product nearly pays for itself!"
Because Jack bought a home coffee grinder, he can grind his own beans at home! He no longer has to buy more expensive pre-ground coffee, so in essence his new machine pay(s) for itself.

Burger punk: "Double baco cheeseburger...it's for a cop."

Burger punk: "No, I was just telling him that so he makes it extra good......Uh, don't spit in that cop's burger."

It's for your own good

Thing mostly said by an adult/parent

To justify controlling something that you percieve as wrong in your life because they want it that way.
Usually it is NOT for your own good, but just because they must force their will upon you.
Girl: what the hell, why are you not letting me talk to my friends

Mom: because they are giving you wrong ideas, it's for your own good

Girl: yeah right
