Rate and price

Hi

Could you please check these sentences and tell me if they sound OK to you?

  1. Every shop in the town had its own rates and some shops charged too much for items like chocolates and nuts.
  2. Every shop in the town had its own prices and some shops charged too much for items like chocolates and nuts.

Thanks,

Tom

Rates usually go with services; prices go with products. Shops are normally associated with products. So things like chocolates (or chocolate shops) have prices, and gardeners who take care of your property have rates.
