A snip (5)
I believe the answer is:
cheap
'a snip' is the definition.
(I have seen 'A snip ' mean 'cheap' so perhaps 'snip' could also mean 'cheap')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for cheap that I've seen before include "Vulgar" , "Base" , "bargain" , "Low in price or tastelessly showy" , "Inexpensive or tasteless" .)
