From a visiting cat's point of view, Bukhara is reasonably affordable but not overly cheap. There are some expensive souvenir shops in the touristy areas, but bargaining is possible.

Haggle for prices in the bazaars and souvenir shops. Look for local markets and budget-friendly restaurants for affordable meals.
