One of the most common approaches various businesses try to uplift their sales figure is offering the discount. Magento 2 store owners usually incorporate the discounts on store products by displaying the actual price along with the special price to lure the visitors to shop at discounted rates. After the implementation, the home page or category page displays the actual price as cancelled and the special price as the price to be paid.
When you create a custom page in Magento 2 for the products and assign the fetched price, it assigns the actual price instead of the special prices, which is wrong. So you have to check if the product has a special price in Magento 2 store and assign the same to the products. Here, I have come up with the code to check if the product has a special price in Magento 2.

As per the Magento guidelines one should not use object manager directly in the scripts. What do you think?
Yes, you are right about the use of Object Manager. Thanks for drawing my attention. I have updated the post with alternate solution that can be used.
what you do if discount on child product of configurable product?
Hello,
Please note that one can use the above code to check the special price of the product and not the discount price on the product.
Thanks.
