pennies a day
Actually, Gold membership is only 2.99/month if you buy for the whole year, so actually it's 2.99*12/365=9.8 cents/month.

You could also by that same argument, buy me a lunch every month for only pennies a day. So please do.
You can become a premium member of chess.com for "pennies a day". But, at the lowest rate that's 4.99 / month which comes to 16 cents per day (in a 31 day month). That's a dime, a nickle AND a penny per day. You could say something costs "pennies a day" at $100 dollars / day since that also equals 10 thousand pennies per day.
btw, I wrote this just because I felt like starting a post.
