The maths

Half off one of two items is 25% off the pair. That sounds bigger than it is: a plain 25% off sale gives the same price on two items, and it also works when you only want one.

Worked example

2 items at $24.99 each would cost $49.98. With BOGO 50% you pay $37.48 and save $12.50.

Worth it when

  • You need two and no flat 25%+ coupon is running.
  • It stacks with a store or manufacturer coupon on the full-price item.

Watch out for

  • It is only 25% off overall, and 0% off if you buy one.
  • Shoe and clothing stores often run it as the default 'sale', so compare with clearance prices.
