Gourmand, translating roughly to gluttonous or greedy around food, is the highest compliment in France.
There is no word directly meaning "cheap" in French; the closest is "not expensive" (pas cher).
Tonight is one of the little host siblings' birthday. And the girl chose to have her birthday party at McDonald's. Here MacDo serves croque-monsieurs and hamburgers with Camembert, and there are iPads at every table for enjoyment during dinner.
One of the few things I hate about living abroad is differently sized paper. The standard paper in Europe and Asia is just a little bit longer and impossible to fit in American binders and folders. No matter what country, I will always have a preference for the 8.5 by 11. Plus the French use a keyboard that does not have QWERTYUIOP, and you have to hold shift to get the period!
