I don't know what sort of software they have in your universe,
but if my supermarket (e.g.) advertises "two for $5" on a $2.65
item and I take one to self-checkout, I usually get to pay $2.50.

In my state, "two for $5" is defined by law to mean "$2.50 each",
regardless of how many you buy. On the other hand, there's a liquid I
buy regularly that is advertised as "10 for $10" but actually costs
$1.05 each.
