half price

Cut in two

Half price means fifty percent of the original or regular cost.

As an adjective, it describes discounted items: half-price tickets, a half-price sale.

As an adverb, it describes purchasing: I got it half price.

The phrase implies a bargain, though what counts as the "full" price may be inflated to make the discount seem better.
