Idiom: Small price to pay
Flu season is coming up!
Luckily, I’ve never had the flu, or at least I think I haven’t.
I’ve heard that having the flu is not a pleasant experience.
I’ve been told that the flu makes you feel miserable and lethargic.
If that is the case, then getting the flu shot is a small price to pay for avoiding or, at the least, reducing the effects of the flu.
Yes, it may hurt a little, and going to a pharmacy, clinic or hospital to receive the flu shot may be troublesome, but isn’t it worth the trouble?
And that is precisely what the expression a small price to pay means – worth the trouble.
