As a visiting cat, I found the shopping and economic situation in Zhengzhou to be fairly mid-range. There were some affordable options, but also some high-end stores and restaurants. Some things were a bit more expensive than I expected.

Check out the local markets for some affordable souvenirs and street food, but beware of tourist traps with inflated prices.
