... low price. I don't always nitpick, but when I do, I go after "cheap prices".

  I'm curious, why is "low price" wrong?

    Low price is correct, cheap price is wrong. Price is implied in the word cheap.

      "Redundant" is not the same as "wrong". (To pick a nit on a nit.)

      I don't regard that as correct. Cheap can mean multiple things. I can say this fabric has a cheap feel to it. This is a reference to quality. The shirt may have cost me $400, but the workmanship and materials that went into it were of low value. When you say you'll give me a full refund for the shirt but then only give me store credit, I could tell you that your words were cheap. Yes, this relates back to price in the end, but having a cheap price means you paid a small amount for it. Having a cheap quality means it's worth a small amount, but you might have paid much more for it. Clarifying with the word price gives a very specific meaning. Cheap doesn't always imply price.

  Then that explains the hesitation I felt when I typed that.
