Summary
Ashley Chapman, a South Carolina woman, attempted to get 50% off a watermelon at a Florida Publix by purchasing only one item, despite it being part of a “buy one, get one free” (BOGO) deal. However, the cashier and manager informed her that in Florida, BOGO deals require customers to purchase two products to get the discount. Chapman was surprised and explained that in her state, customers can get 50% off a single item. The article explores the discrepancy in BOGO deals across different states and how some grocery stores allow customers to purchase singular BOGO items for 50% off.

The habit gets a new name.
BOGO deals are not always what they seem. In some states, customers can get 50% off a single item, while in others, they need to purchase two products to get the discount. Publix, a grocery store chain, has different policies in different states, and it’s all about the state tax laws. Some stores just offer BOGO items for 50% off, but it’s not a nationwide policy. The truth is, BOGO deals are not as straightforward as they seem.
