What does "a few grain of salt in the pocket" mean in this sentense?
The sentense is
"Hey, if you love cheap, want a smartphone but the your pocket only has a few grain of salt within them, then you'd be happy to know that Motorola is planning cheap mid-ranged Android smartphones for next year."
I can't get what did he mean by this phrase: "but your pocket only has a few grain of salt within them"

Hi Dimitry, Jura got it right but there is a couple of mistakes in the sentence. The in "but the your pocket" should be dropped, it's not suppose to be there. Grain in the sentence is suppose to be plural, meaning it's suppose to be grains.
