Cultural Tip
In Brazil, price‑hunting is a common part of everyday life. When you point out a cheaper option, keep a friendly tone – saying "mais barato" is perfectly natural, but avoid sounding too pushy. Also note that "barato" can be informal; in a formal setting you might say "mais econômico" or "com preço mais acessível".
