One for free initially being flogged at a reduced price? (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on offer

'at a reduced price?' is the definition.
(something on offer is sold at a reduced price)

'one for free initially being flogged' is the wordplay.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'being flogged' is an anagram indicator.
The first letter of 'free' is 'f'.
'one'+'for'+'f'='oneforf'
'oneforf' is an anagram of 'ON OFFER'.

(Other definitions for on offer that I've seen before include "is made cheaper?" , "For sale at specified price" , "At special price" , "For sale at a certain price" , "available for less" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
