Hi

Is it acceptable to say, ' ...... get 20% off regulaly priced items'? Or is it more correct to say, '......regular-priced...'.
I see the former very often on American websites.

Thanks

@mokozilee,
Regularly," Moko, tho technically grammatical, implies a slightly different meaning. It seems to say that some items are not priced as often as others

@mokozilee,
"Get 20% off the regular price"
Not 'regularly' and not 'priced'. You can say "These items are regularly priced at $1.00 but this week they are priced at 80 cents."
