    Solution

    The idiom ‘break a leg’ is used for wishing someone good luck, especially before a performance. It is inappropriate here. The correct idiom is ‘break the bank’. It means ‘to cost too much’. With our new flexible membership options, you only pay for the ads you need and it won’t break the bank.
