Clear off somehow with pies and the sale item (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
special offer
'the sale item' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'clear off somehow with pies' is the wordplay.
'somehow with' indicates anagramming the letters.
'clear'+'off'='clearoff'
'clearoff' anagrammed with 'pies' makes 'SPECIAL OFFER'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for special offer that I've seen is " bargain".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
