What is low-cost?

Low-cost means something you can get for very little money.

Imagine you want a toy, but you only have one coin in your pocket. If the toy costs just that one coin, it’s low-cost, easy to buy and not too expensive.

Like Getting Ice Cream with Just One Coin

If you go to an ice cream shop and see a super small scoop of vanilla for just one coin, that's a low-cost treat. It doesn’t cost much, so you can get it even if you don’t have a lot of coins.

Big Things Can Be Low-Cost Too

Sometimes big things are also low-cost, like a little piggy bank that only costs one coin, you might not think it’s very big, but it helps save money!

So, low-cost is just something that doesn't need much money to get, whether it's an ice cream, a toy, or even a piggy bank.
