Remarks about the translation
this translation uses the pronoun "vous", which is more polite thant "tu". Yet it can be re-write in "tu" if this is designed for a young audience. Let me know if there is any pb.

I think this is a great translation and you did well to translate "you" with "vous".

I think the best translation is

"the cheapest" into "le moins cher "!

And I think RAffe is not a purist French, because I even saw some French use "fin de la semaine" to replace "the weekend", though the latter is also included in modern FRench.

I would say that "weekend" is much more used in France than "fin de la semaine" which is "only for purist".

Weekend means weekend for french ppl as well.

When a french says "fin de semaine", it means thursday or friday, not saturday or sunday! Even for my 85 year-old grandmother...

I apologize for being french and not a french purist foreigner :-P

As to "week-end", you are right, but every individual does not hold a dictionary.

I say, even your grandma claimed the same "week-end is commonly used", the fact is, in Canada, the francophone are speaking "fin de la semaine", it's true.

The difference you explained "fin de semaine, it means thursday or friday, not saturday or sunday!" is not true.

And as your claim "When a french says "fin de semaine", it means thursday or friday, not saturday or sunday! " I think it's a mess when French tradition met English industralisation.

french ppl do not speak the same french lgg as the french-speaking ppl in Canada. That is why it is different, and that doesn't mean that it is not true. Ask any French ppl, we don't use the same phrases.
i did the translation aiming at ppl who speak the language that is spoken in France.
