易错句子She works in discount store.

正确表达She works in a discount store.

discount 只是定语形容词，不能顶替冠词；单数可数名词 store 前必须有冠词，所以要说 a discount store。汉语习惯省略冠词，这里很容易漏掉。

易错句子I always buy my clothes at a discounted store near my home.

正确表达I always buy my clothes at a discount store near my home.

想表达“专卖低价商品的商店”，要用定语形容词 discount（discount store 折扣店）；discounted 是分词，意思是“被降价的”，一般修饰 price、goods 等被降价的对象，用来修饰 store 会把意思带偏。
