Stores use promos like "Buy 1 get 1 free" to make shoppers feel they’re getting extra value, which boosts purchases, moves inventory, and can increase overall revenue. Pricing at $9.99 instead of $10 exploits the left‑digit/psychological pricing effect—customers perceive it as noticeably cheaper even though the difference is only one cent.
