Welcome to the forums, amandang.

'Two for the price of one' means the same as 'Buy one get one free'.
 
Free B with every A.
 
BOGOF is sometimes used for Buy one get one free.
 
Thanks everyone! But is there any way to say the meaning that you spend money to buy A, in return, you can get A + B, and show that B is bigger?

I make up one "Buy a Big Deal"

Is this expression sensible?

Many thanks!!

No, it isn't.

The "free gift with purchase" is not normally "bigger" than the original item purchased.

I could see buying a coat and getting free gloves. Or buying a chainsaw and getting a case for it for free.

But not buying a set of tires and getting a free car.

Thanks for your reply, I know that it is a little wried that when you buy something but at the end you get the gift is bigger than what you buy, but actually it is a only physically bigger and have similar value.

So or I should ask if "Buy a Big Deal" is gramatically correct?

It's as grammatically correct as 'drink a big rifle'. There is little point in discussing the grammatical correctness of sentences that have no meaning.
 
Thanks for the reply!

Since I am working on a Marketing Project and have to create some Promotional message which could be more gimmick, that's why I come up with this a bit wried phrase, thanks everyone! :)
 
Note the correct spelling of weird​, not "wried".
