Mix and Match BOGO
Any eligible items count toward the set, not just two of the same thing.
Real discount
50%
on 2 items of the same price
The maths
The maths is the same as the base offer, but with different prices the discount lands on the cheaper item. Pair items of similar price and the saving gets close to the headline number.
Worked example
Four items at $12.99, $8.49, $11.49, $3.99 are paired most-expensive first, and the cheaper item of each pair is free: you pay $21.48 instead of $36.96.
Worth it when
- You can line up items of similar price.
Watch out for
- Pairing an expensive item with a cheap one wastes most of the offer.
