Practice not being too literal # 41

Question

As my title says, I am trying to learn to not be literal in translations, so every day I will post a saying in English and ask for suggestions as to how to convey the thought in Spanish. At the end of the day, I will pick the answer that I think most accurately reflects the idea, and I will choose it as best answer for 20 points to the respondent.

Everyone had such great answers to my last posting that it was really hard to pick the "best answer, " but I did the "best" that I could. lol

Keep up the great work.

The phrase for today is, "a dime a dozen."

Good luck!
