I think it depends on the subject. If you're talking about one single entity then it should be "affordable price", but if you're talking about a market/ hotel/ cafe then you should use "affordable prices" since you're not speaking of a single price.

It's a very good café with affordable prices.

He is selling his car at an affordable price.

I think you want "at an affordable price" in the second example. – MT_Head Jun 19 '11 at 21:46
Or "for" an affordable price. – Eri Jun 20 '11 at 0:13
