خلفية ثقافية

At traditional markets like 'Zhenski Pazar', prices are already low, but saying 'Евтино е' to a friend while the vendor is listening might prevent you from getting a further discount! There is a shared pride in finding the 'cheapest' but 'best' place to eat. Sharing these 'cheap' spots is a sign of friendship. The transition to a market economy made Bulgarians very sensitive to price fluctuations, making 'Евтино е' a common topic of daily news and talk. Bulgaria is often marketed to other Europeans as a 'cheap' destination. Locals are aware of this and might use the phrase when comparing their prices to the Eurozone.
