Lower costs mean you pay less money for something than before.
Imagine you want to buy your favorite ice cream. One day it costs $3, but later it only costs $2. That’s what lower costs feel like, you get the same treat, but with less money gone from your piggy bank!
What does lower cost look like?
- If you used to spend $5 on a toy and now it's only $4, that's lower costs.
- If your family used to pay $10 for groceries each week, but now they only pay $8, that’s also lower costs.
Why does lower cost happen?
Sometimes stores or companies want more people to buy from them. So they make things cheaper, just like how a friend might give you a cookie for free if you share your snack with them!
Lower costs are like getting a little extra money back in your pocket, without doing anything special, just because things are cheaper now.
Examples
- You save money on a phone plan by switching to a cheaper service.
- A company uses less expensive materials to make its products.
