private void discountBtActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                           
        discountItems discount = new discountItems();
        discount.setVisible(true);
        addItem(discount.getBarcode(), discount.getPrice());
    }

and here is the other form

private void okBtActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                     
        if (barcodeTf.getText().length() < 10) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "Please Enter 10 Digit Barcode");
        } else if (discountPriceTf.getText().length() == 0) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "Please Enter a Discount Price");
        } else {
            discountPrice = Double.parseDouble(discountPriceTf.getText());
            barcode = barcodeTf.getText();
            this.setVisible(false);
        }
    }

Either you want to be using a JDialog of some sort, or you want to give the second (form) thing a callback method.
So user clicks button on FormA.
FormA creates FormB, supplying itself as a callabck (I'd make it an interface, since that'll make it easier to change if need be). That callback interface will simply have an updateDiscount(barcode, price) method.
FormB will call that method on the stored callback, inside that okBtACtionPErformed method above.

Personally I'd go for the JDialog.
