Magento access price variable in product object

Question

How do I access the price in one of the simple products? The following is the beginning of the array I want to access from my var_dump($_product->debug()); (stackoverflow wouldn't let me post the whole thing). I am working on the issue related to this post: Magento Retrieve simple product price for configurable product

did you try sth like $_product->getData('price'); ? or do you mean tier prices? — Nasaralla
I need the price of the associated simple product. That gives me "0" which is the price of the configurable product. — CaitlinHavener
Are you in the template and you are sure that the product loaded? else you need to reload the product like $product->load(); — Nasaralla
If var_dump($_product->debug()) shows all the details of the configurable product including listing the simple products, then it is indeed loaded, is it not? — CaitlinHavener

I was able to get this question answered in the other forum: https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/4050/access-price-variable-in-product-object/4051?noredirect=1#comment5583_4051

$childProducts = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_type_configurable')
                    ->getUsedProducts(null,$_product);   
foreach($childProducts as $child) {
    print_r($child->getPrice());
}
