\"\"In case you didn’t know, buy 1 free 1 and 50% off are not<\/strong><\/span> the same thing. Guess you didn’t know le …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Often when we go out, we see lotsa promotion it’s but 1 free 1 or 50% off but do you know that they are not the same thing? When you see it, it might look the same but are both of them the same thing? Well, they\u2019re not!<\/p>\n

We will explain the to you the difference of the buy 1 free 1 and 50% off (using food promotion <\/strong><\/em>as example), so that you will understand and not get confused when you are seeing this promotion! We want to let you optimise your purchase to make the best use of each promotion and not making the wrong decision.<\/p>\n

So what’s the difference la of Buy 1 Free 1 and 50% Off<\/h4>\n

When you use a buy 1 free 1 promotion, you\u2019re essentially paying the full price for 1 item, and getting another 1 \u2018free\u2019. The most obvious example is that you will you can’t choose what \u2018free\u2019 item which normally the optimal decision is for the second item to be equal in price.<\/p>\n

For the case of 50% off, the price of items you ordered will be added up, and then a 50% discount is applied to it. So you can choose 2 of your item that you wanted<\/p>\n

On the taxes wise, we are taking food for example, for buy 1 free 1 deal, you will only be paying the SST and service charge for one item, because the second meal is \u2018free\u2019 so the taxes can only be levied on the first meal.<\/p>\n

For the 50% off, all the SST and service taxes will then be added back into your final bill. In short, you will be paying slightly more in SST and service taxes, as compared to a buy 1 free 1 type of deal.<\/p>\n

Too complicate? Let us show you some example so that you can understand more detail (food for example).<\/p>\n

Example 1 \u2013 Ordering Two Same-Price Items:<\/strong>
\nBuy 1 Free 1:<\/strong><\/span>
\nHalf Spare Ribs: RM30
\nHalf Spare Ribs: (Free)
\nSub-total: RM30<\/strong>
\n10% Service Charge on RM30: RM3
\n6% SST on RM33: RM1.98
\nTotal: RM34.98<\/strong><\/p>\n

50% Off:<\/strong><\/span>
\nHalf Spare Ribs: RM30
\nHalf Spare Ribs: RM30
\nSub-total: RM60<\/strong>
\n50% Off on RM60: -RM30
\n10% Service Charge on RM60: RM6
\n6% SST on RM36: RM2.16
\nTotal: RM38.16<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s quite a difference in price among two promotions that appear to be equivalent on the surface!<\/p>\n

Example 2 \u2013 Ordering Two Differently Priced Items:<\/strong>
\nBuy 1 Free 1:<\/strong><\/span>
\nHalf Spare Ribs: RM30
\nBuffalo Wing: (Free)
\nSub-total: RM30<\/strong>
\n10% Service Charge on RM30: RM3
\n6% SST on RM33: RM1.98
\nTotal: RM35.29<\/strong><\/p>\n

50% Off:<\/strong><\/span>
\nHalf Rib Spare Ribs: RM30
\nBuffalo Wing: RM6
\nSub-total: RM36<\/strong>
\n50% Off on RM36: -RM18
\n10% Service Charge on RM36: RM3.60
\n6% SST on RM21.60: RM1.30
\nTotal: RM22.90<\/strong><\/p>\n

There you have it. Now You have the power to make the right decision before you order!<\/h4>\n

You now have the power to calculate whether the which is more worth it! You can now make the decision before you order, and not at the time of payment and save a few bucks. Now go ahead my child and go venture out to the world of promotion!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
