"It comes with a price"
In American English, we say "it comes with a price" usually with negative implications to mean that something is done or achieved with some sort of undesirable cost or consequence.
Is there a expression in Spanish that conveys the same? |

But... sometimes, "viene con premio" means something different. For example: "María se casa con 'premio'" means "María is pregnant". My grandmother sometimes says things like that. |
