I think this depends on culture
and on what business the person is in.
I was hanging with one of the hubby's super wealthy Asian 'Uncle's
and he wanted to know what we paid for everything
from watermelon
to chocolate (Cadburys from England, yum).
Though he owns a chain of supermarkets
so this could have been his way of doing some research
but I do find that the hubby's family asks about price on everything.
HOWEVER, they also add the value component.
They're not looking for cheapest,
they're looking for best value.
