Submit it for inclusion to the Oxford English ?
 
Other similar examples:
 
Walking or driving miles to save a few pence to get an item at it\'s cheapest price - the cost of the time / shoe leather worn may well outway the saving....

For another reference go do an Urban Dictionary entry for it!
Title: Grinder - Wiki immortality
Post by: Lacey on March 22, 2011, 06:02:19 PM
Ref.1

Can also refer to the process of fabricating, buying, or constructing an item at a substantially discounted price in comparison to the product as a whole. This entails each piece or section of said product has been bought for costs or less, thus the cost has been ground down, ground out, or costs have been grind away. Thus making an object or product \'Grinder Price\' via the method of Grinding away the costs.

Oh! I got my FC for £550, that includes FSH, replacement door card which I don\'t plan on using, a pointless trim for a TII that doesn\'t fit, a 6cd changer im gonna sell, a matching stereo im gonna sell with it, a random sony stereo that I don\'t really like, and a small handful of tools that got left in the car. Plus it runs perfectly fine.

Oh, that also includes the cost of the flatbed to deliver it to my door. That qualify as Grinder Price? ;P

We need a real effort to keep the page alive.. Post the phrase Grinder Price on every website and webpage you can, wherever there is cheapness - let there be Grinder Price!

In the interim I may have to offline the wiki article to save it from deletion.
