Bargain

As a slang term, 'bargain' refers to something bought for a good price or value, often lower than the usual cost. It highlights the perception of getting something for less than expected.
Example: I found a real bargain on these books at the thrift store.
Note: Unlike 'sale,' 'bargain' specifically denotes a good deal or opportunity for a lower price, rather than the general act of offering goods at reduced prices.

Steal

In colloquial speech, 'steal' describes an item purchased at an incredibly low price, offering exceptional value or savings. It implies obtaining something valuable for far less than it is worth.
Example: I couldn't believe it when I found this designer bag for $20; it was a steal!
Note: 'Steal' conveys the idea of getting an item at a substantially lower price, emphasizing the incredible value gained in the purchase, as opposed to merely participating in a sale event.

Savings

In everyday conversation, 'savings' refers to the reduction in cost or the amount of money saved when purchasing items at lower prices. It emphasizes the financial benefits obtained through reduced-price transactions.
Example: I love shopping online because of the savings you can find compared to in-store prices.
Note: 'Savings' highlights the money saved or preserved as a result of purchasing items during a sale or at lower prices, whereas 'sale' focuses on the act of selling goods for less without direct emphasis on the monetary benefit to the buyer.

Markdown

When used informally, 'markdown' refers to the process of reducing the price of goods for sale, typically to clear inventory or attract customers. It conveys the idea of lowering prices to spur purchases.
Example: The store manager decided to do a markdown on all summer merchandise to make space for fall items.
Note: While 'markdown' specifically addresses the act of reducing prices to sell goods swiftly, 'sale' is a broader term encompassing any event where items are offered at discounted prices without focusing on the act of price reduction itself.
