¿Cuánto sale? vs. ¿Cuánto cuesta?

I am an American, but I was raised in the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica. In the DR, when asking how much something costs, they would say, "a cuanto sale?" or "cuanto sale?" In Costa Rica, however, they use "cuanto cuesta?" and I never heard anyone in CR say "cuanto sale?" When looking them up, they are both correct. I am just wondering if they are regional, or if it was just purely which was more common. A Costa Rican told me that they had never heard "canto sale" before. I find that very unusual. Is "cuanto sale" more of a Caribbean phrase, maybe?
