Отдельно спасибо economic prices: daruntje
liberal prices: DNATUSIA
easy prices: Olga Arakelyan

эти ответы подходят и по смыслу по оригинальности!
Dylan Edwards Aug 6, 2007:
Я этого никогда не слышал. По-моему, это редкое выражение. B рекламах я никогда не видел liberal prices. Affordable / generous prices, может быть, но не liberal.
Olga Arakelyan Aug 5, 2007:
Я слышу это выражение довольно часто. Но affordable чаще. Хотя, ИМХО, liberal действительно лучше.
Andrew Anisimov (asker) Aug 5, 2007:
All Демократичная цена - это сленг, и подразумевает "доступный", "качество хорошее!", "цена достойно ниже, но не демпинговая", думаю что наиболее подходит сленговое "liberal price", но насколько оно понятно носителям и как часто используется?

I hear it quite often. It may sound not very modest but "liberal" seems to me closer to the "fine" meaning of "democraticheskie" than "affordable" - it's too narrow, isn't it?
Note from asker:
Do you barely often hear "liberal price"?

popular prices

I have no argument with "affordable" but would like to add this suggestion.

"at popular prices", i.e. prices within the reach of everyone.

I'm suggesting "popular prices" as a phrase that's suited to the context of advertising. See, for example:
