Cut a bargain (4)

I believe the answer is:

snip

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cut' is the first definition.
(snip is a kind of cut)

'a bargain' is the second definition.
(slang term for a good deal)

(Other definitions for snip that I've seen before include "Cut - certainty" , "Cut off a small bit" , "Surprisingly cheap item" , "Cut - price bargain" , "Quick cut - something easily done" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
