How things may be bought for cash (2,1,8)
I believe the answer is:
at a discount
'how things' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'be bought for cash' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'be' could be 'count' (counting is a kind of being) and 'count' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'may' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
