Cheap at twice the price and Cheap at double the price

Hi

I assume that these two idioms are primarily British and carry the opposite meanings. Could you please tell me how common they are in everyday English?

Cheap at twice the price

Remarkably or exceedingly inexpensive (as in, even if you doubled the price, it would still be a good value)

Cheap at half the price [something that you say when something is very expensive] Thanks, Tom

Mr. Tom I assume that these two idioms are primarily British and carry the opposite meanings. They have the same meaning ( twice = double ) and the first at least is common in the States.
