At or for

Dear teachers,
I'm confused about the use of AT and FOR when referring to prices.Could you possibly tell me when to use AT and when to use FOR?

Can AT and FOR be used interchangeably in the following?

I sell these cabbages at / for $1 a kilogram.
I sell these cakes at/for $0.5 each.
I buy these shoes at/for $100.

Thank you in advance

Both are used, and there is often no difference intended
