on sale
Temporarily reduced price
On sale describes merchandise available for purchase, especially at a reduced price.
The phrase carries both meanings simultaneously in most contexts: Winter coats are on sale now suggests both availability and discount.
In retail, on sale typically emphasizes the markdown: These shoes are on sale for half off.
The British equivalent for discounted goods is often "in the sale."
