How it's used
Focus on the economic context when using this term, as it specifically highlights a price point rather than general cheapness. It is often used in business or shopping contexts to describe market trends or promotional strategies. Unlike 平, which is a general adjective for inexpensive, 低價 implies a comparison against a standard market value or a previous price point.
Examples
The things sold at this shop are at a low price.

Common mistake
Avoid using this as a direct substitute for 平 in casual conversation, as it sounds more formal or analytical. Saying 呢個蘋果好低價 sounds unnatural compared to 呢個蘋果好平.
