2 For 1 or 50% off?

If you were to enter a shop and see a certain product on sale (foodstuffs usually), would you rather they had a buy-one-get-one-free or 50% off the original price?

I'm greedy, so I'd have to choose BOGOF.

50% off, because then I only buy one.

Plus, it's equal or lesser value when it's buy one get one free for things like shoes.

50% off I'd say. Usually I see "Buy two, get the third one free!" as if that will really entice me.

50% off, i hate 2 for 1. i just only want ******* one

Depends on the product.

Those going for breast agmentation should really go for the buy one get one free.

Going for the 50% off is a sin against man and god.

50% off because then I can choose if I want the second one, or if I want that money for some candy.

50% off so I only have to buy one.

50% off. It allows me to choose if I want to buy one at half price, or two at BOGOF. The best of both worlds.

It all depends on the product. if it's shoes and I buy one and get the other free then I'm cool. If I see a pair of shoes I want and they're 50% off then I'm good there too.

Depends on what the item is and if I know the stock before hand. If I can get 2 games for $60 I'd sooner take that than a single $40 game that was at some point $80.

I'm happy with either - I tend to have impulse shopping issues ;)

50% off is always better.

Assuming you are talking about equally priced products.

Sometimes i like BOGOF, but half off is magical.

I sometimes buy BOGO stuff at my grocery store and only buy one item of them as they typically cut the price in half and split the cost between the 2 units so it is equal to 50% off anyway. In other cases, I would rather have 50% off if not at the grocery store.

50% off is the only correct answer....

As I'm sure many people have said, this is the same thing. But not quite. Yes, BOGOF is essentially 50% off, but that's if you buy 2. If I only want one, then I get it at half off and if I choose 2, it's still BOGOF at the original price. So, semantically, they sound the same and psychologically, with the word free in it, it sounds better off hand, but 50% is better. Also, things like 1.99 make you think it's cheaper than $2 and 2 for $5 or 4 for $10, where buying 2 sounds better. They're little psychological marketing gimmicks that play on lower prices or the words free and also play on perception differences.

Depends on the product. But I'd prefer the 50% off.

I would perfer 50% off from a money standard

BUT stores know buyers If they put 2 4 1, They can put out more product

50% off. Most of the time, 2 for 1 is usually a bit more than I want to pay anyway, and I probably don't want more than one of it...
