Adding characters to Data Bound text box

Hm okay so I tried that like so:

"$"+self.item['reg_price']

but got the error

Error binding text of price_label to "$"+self.item['reg_price']:
cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects

so I wrapped it in a str() function like so:

"$"+str(self.item['price'])

but now I’m back to the original error :frowning:

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '$25'
