to have its price reduced · to be on sale for a lower price
Imagine you're browsing your favorite store, and you spot that amazing jacket you've been eyeing, but now it has a new, much lower price tag! 🎉 That's when you can say it's been marked down. It's perfect for talking about items whose prices have been specifically reduced, usually for a limited time or to clear inventory. 🏷️✨
💡 **Pro Tip!** While 'on sale' is a broader term for any discount, 'marked down' specifically refers to the act of reducing the original price, often indicated by a new price sticker or tag. You might hear it as 'markdowns' (plural noun) when referring to discounted items in general. Keep an eye out for these deals! 💸👀
