If I buy a product that is Buy One Get One Free, can I go back to the store and get my money back for the one I paid for?

I once saw someone online say this is a "life hack", and I'm actually considering if it's true. I DID recently purchase some vitamin supplements for BOGO, but now Doc says I'm good to quit taking them.

I already opened one of the bottles, but I'm really curious if the store will REALLY give me a refund for my unopened bottle?

They’d give you back half of what you paid

Or they take the one you return, give you nothing, and the clerk says, "There's your refund one you got for free! Thank you. Come again!" If that happened it'd be a cool store hack.

The best you should hope for is 1/2 of the price of the 2 bottles.

You'll get the correct money back.

Buy one get one free, one costs $50, you bring one back you get $25 back.

However it's super unlikely a store would take pills back.

Only if you have your receipt will you get a refund. But the cashier will see you got one free and not give you any money back without the 2nd item in possession. Also some stores only do store credit for items returned on sale

You get back whatever you paid. If no receipt then they give you the lowest price they've offered it for in the past 90 or so. Sometimes you'll end up getting back less than you paid.
