Money is not mentioned in the Spanish sentence, so has it been included in the translation for completeness or because it is inferred because something is being bought?

On an unrelated topic, could you please explain why all Spanish greetings such as 'Buenos Dias' are in the plural?

I am really enjoying learning Spanish using this site. Others I have tried do not have the European pronuciation and sometimes use different words.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Colin

"éramos" or "fuimos" for "used to be."

In this question I answered "éramos" instead of "fuimos" since the text referred to "used to be." Why was that wrong? I get that the "completed action in the past" hint confused the situation. Shouldn't the question be clarified, or am I missing something here?
Nosotros ________ muy buenos estudiantes.We used to be very good students.(HINT: Refers to a completed action in the past.)

From the lesson:

"Note that while "fue" is generally translated into "was" in English, "era" can be translated into "was", "used to be" and "would be"."
