price of the item i choose in the pull down menu

One way:

Assume you have, on a second sheet (Sheet2) a table of items (column A)
and prices (column B):

B1: =VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B, 2, FALSE)

Use Data Validation for in-cell drop-down for selecting an item and VLOOKUP
for filling in the price.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for more on VLOOKUP and Data
Validation lists for entering the choices.

Note the section on using DV lists from another worksheet by naming the list.
