What does "came at a steal" mean?
I saw this word on italk. The original sentence is
"Hi my name is Jon, I speak English and Spanish and am looking forward to teaching English through Italki.
My first class I am offering and it come at a steal!"
I searched this word on Google for its definition but I couldn't find it. I want to know, what does it mean in this sentence?

When something "comes at a steal" or "is a steal", it means that thing is available at a very good (i.e. low) price. If you were really to steal a 55 inch flat screen TV from the store, you would pay $0 for it. If you bought that same TV on sale for $5 (a very low price for such a TV), you could say that the TV "was a steal" even though you bought it legitimately.

It simply means that the price is very good.

In the context used the word 'steal' could swapped for 'bargain'. More correctly the sentence would read "My first class I am offering and it comes at a bargain!" (note the addition of 's' to come).
