A dime a dozen

Origin: The idiom "A dime a dozen" originated in the United States during the 19th century, referring to something that is abundant, common, or easily obtained. It implies that the item or commodity in question is so plentiful that its value is minimal, equivalent to ten cents per dozen—essentially, very cheap and widely available. This phrase is commonly used to describe things that are commonplace, of low value, or lacking uniqueness or rarity.
