A low or fair cost.
Contexto cultural
Poles love 'promocje' (sales). It is common to see people checking 'gazetki' (store flyers) to find the best 'dobra cena' for butter or coffee. In Polish business, 'dobra cena' is often a euphemism for 'competitive'. It's a way to discuss money without being too blunt. On platforms like Allegro, 'dobra cena' is a filter and a key selling point in titles. It is socially acceptable, and even encouraged, to brag about finding a 'dobra cena'. It shows you are 'zaradny' (resourceful).
Use with 'naprawdę'
To sound more natural, add 'naprawdę' (really). 'To naprawdę dobra cena!' sounds very native.
Avoid 'tania cena'
This is the #1 mistake. Remember: things are 'tanie' (cheap), but prices are 'niskie' (low) or 'dobre' (good).
