Dime A Dozen

Means an item (or person) is commonplace and cheaply had. For sale cheap. If something is a dime a dozen, then it costs less than a penny each. It's not fine and unique.

It means common or more exactly, cheap. Think about it, if you can buy a dozen for a dime then it cost less then a penny. After all pennies are 12 cents a dozen.

It means that the thing or product is really inexpensive.
A dime a dozen: you can get a dozen of things for 10 cents.

Easy to find or too many. If someone says that actors are "a dime a dozen," that means that there are a lot of them.

That something is inexpensive...you could buy a dozen for only a dime...see? or should I say there is a ton of whatever...either way...like my Mom used to say..."excuses are a dime a dozen."

It means that whatever your referring to as "a dime a dozen" is not unique, that there are multiple of the same or better out there.

It means there are so many out there that are easy to achieve, get, buy, etc. The phrase means "you can get a dozen of them for a dime".

It means that whatever is being referred to- is very common... Like, "Bad Politicians- are a dime a dozen..." See?
