Costing less money and easier to fit within a budget compared to another option.
“The apartment downtown is more affordable, so we'd have extra money for furniture.”
“Option B is more affordable, which matters a lot since we're on a tight budget this year.”
Price is one of the most common comparison points in Task 5, so "more affordable" is essential vocabulary for justifying a budget-friendly choice. Use it when arguing for the cheaper of two options, and follow it with a specific detail (e.g., "it's about $200 less per month") to sound persuasive rather than vague. It also sounds more natural than simply repeating "cheaper."
Synonyms: cheaper, more economical, less expensive
