Two for the price of one Explanation: I think 买一加一 means customers can get one item free after buying another from a store. These two items may not be the same kind of products. For example, customers may get one bag of rice free after buying one bottle of peanut oil. Link: http://www.nipic.com/show/7211628.html |

(就是你买2瓶,花2份钱。商家的文字游戏) It's something to consider as 买一送一 is so ubiquitous there must be a reason they didn't use it. Reference: http://zhidao.baidu.com/link?url=C_wMQejAiDQA5oHaO4n8-b7zlRk... |
