A “sale in which the price goes down” is most commonly called a discount sale or simply a sale with discounted prices.

What this type of sale means

In this kind of sale, items are offered at a lower price than their usual or original price for a limited time.

The reduction can be shown as a percentage (like “30% off”) or a fixed amount (like “$10 off”).

Common terms you might see

  • Discount sale – general term for any sale with reduced prices.
  • Price drop – often used in ads or emails to highlight that the price has gone down recently.
  • Clearance sale – when prices go down a lot to clear old or excess stock.
  • Promo/flash sale – short-term sale with temporarily lower prices to boost quick purchases.

Simple example

A store normally sells a jacket for 100. During a weekend discount sale , they cut the price to 70, so you get a 30% discount and the price has “gone down” for that sale period.
