"¿Cuánto cuesta?" is the essential shopping and taxi question across Peru. In markets, following up with "¿me lo deja más barato?" (can you give it to me cheaper?) opens the door to friendly bargaining.
How to use it
Universally useful — markets, taxis, shops. Polite as-is; bargaining is normal and expected in markets, not in fixed-price stores.
