1. I like to patronise this shop because its prices are cheap.

2. I like to patronise from this shop because its prices are low.

Which sentence is grammatical?

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
You can use either. Cheap and low in reference to price are synonymous.

@tanguatlay,
The second sentence shouldn't have 'from' in it.

You can patronise a shop but you can't patronise from a shop.

Yes, you can purchase/buy items from a shop, but you can’t patronise from a shop.

Follow the response from Cherrie and izzy. Somehow I missed seeing 'from' in the sentence.

Is "prices are cheap" correct? Thanks!

@tanguatlay,
Yes, you could use other words as well like low or reasonable.

@tanguatlay,
"...prices are cheap" is grammatically correct but, alternatively, many users would say

"I like to patronise this shop because it's cheap."
