Crossword Genius

A lot of point in blocking attractive bargain (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cut-price

'bargain' is the definition.
(a bargain price)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for cut-price that I've seen before include "At a much reduced rate" , "At reduced cost" .)
