Buy one get one free

I saw this phrase somewhere, but can't find it again. I believe it was something along the lines of buy two, one is given to you free.

Compras dos y uno te regala.

Has anyone else seen this?

Yes every supermarket in Britian has these offers all the time.

Buy one, get one free!

Spanish supermarkets usually just have ' Oferta especial'. Special offer.

If they offered it I think it would be: Compra uno y nos te regalamos otro.

Just a suggestion. Look out for offers!

You're right, after I made my post (of course, right?) I was able to find some examples in Google - rodneyp, Feb 13, 2013

The concept of getting something free in this context is expressed using llevar.

Compra dos llévate uno gratis

I haven't seen the "buy xx get xx" free using regalar, if it is used that way. Check out a few mobile phone sites in Spanish and you'll probably see some good examples.

I stand corrected...I just saw some examples using regalar, just as annierats said. - rodneyp, Feb 13, 2013
I think yours work fine, too! Gratis is good! - annierats, Feb 13, 2013
