It indicates that what you are buying is expensive, or is quite expensive in comparison to something you have seen previously.
So, if I go to a store and see a shirt for $50, I can say "This shirt is really nice, but it's no where as cheap as the one in the last store."
A similar expression is "not nearly as cheap", or "no where near as cheap as..." I think these 2 are more commonly used.

Can you write the whole sentence please?
Idiom "Nowhere near" means, not in any way
Example:
Winter is upon us and we are nowhere near meeting our ration goals for the year!
"nowhere near as cheap" means item/service being offered is cheapest one available. Everywhere else, the price is a bit higher compared to the deal you are getting...
Hope it helps

this line is from the film "quick and dead"
A:Reverend needs a gun.
B:There is plenty of places to buy a gun.
A: Nowhere as cheap
B:I wouldn't know a place that is cheap enough for you.
the last line is a sarcasm, right? B is a gun shop owner. A is a rich bastard.
What does A want to say in this context?
A:Reverend needs a gun.
B:There is plenty of places to buy a gun.
A: Nowhere as cheap
B:I wouldn't know a place that is cheap enough for you.
the last line is a sarcasm, right? B is a gun shop owner. A is a rich bastard.

well, I'm getting confused. A want to say that B's shop is cheap and other shops are expensive? And B thinks that A is a stingy and cheap person?

@Tenrai hey, it's was me who disagreed with the answer. The first part is totally correct (your example about the rations) but the second part isn't (totally). If there had been an example with it it would have been better maybe? But if item A is nowhere near as cheap as item B, that means that item A is MORE expensive than item B and therefore goes against what you said: "item/service being offered is cheapest one available"

@Tenrai the only reason I said it's not totally correct is because, given the example by @tedmosby it can have a meaning similar to the one that you explained, with other shops being nowhere near as cheap as that one (meaning it has the least expensive items).
That's why I said it might have been a little better with an example or something 😊 no worries though 😊

@Tenrai or you failed to provide it 😊 the English language has a lot of flexibility, which is again why I said: examples 😊 have yourself a great day 😊
