Tuning - confused.

I tune my guitar every time I pick it up with a $10 chromatic tuner.

It sounds OK to me, but, If I try and confirm the tuning by playing an "A" on string 6 (fret 5) it often sounds slightly different to the open 5th string and if I play this "A" note, the chromatic tuner says that it is out of tune (slightly sharp). The same goes for the other strings if I continue in this way.

What is the problem here.

1) My cheapo guitar is not keeping tune further down the neck

2) My cheapo tuner is no good

3) I'm doing something wrong

Help appreciated.
