Bargaining is expected in local markets (Mandai). Saying 'Khup mahag aahe' is the standard way to start a price negotiation. The phrase is often used to bond over shared struggles with the high cost of living (Mahagai) in the city. In social realist literature, 'mahag' is used to highlight the gap between the rich and the poor. On Marathi Twitter/Instagram, 'Khup Mahag' is a common meme reaction to luxury brand launches.
