2 for the Price of 1 is a pricing game played for a three-digit prize and a four-digit prize (or occassionally a car). To win both prizes, the contestant must guess the price of the three-digit prize. For each digit in the three-digit prize, the contestant is shown two possibilities. At the beginning of the game, the contestant is given one digit of his/her choice free. If the contestant can correctly guess the other two digits, s/he wins both prizes.
Since only two digits must be guessed from a choice of two, their is a 25% chance of winning this game. That's assuming random picking of course; the contestant can make things easier by selecting the third digit (the most difficult to guess) as the free digit. The first two digits are usually a little easier to ascertain. Unfortunately, contestants ask for the first digit for free an obscene amount of times.

| He's taken the six and the five as well. Can he make up for his horrible mistake? | He did! Well shut my mouth! He wins both prizes (you still should never take the first digit for free, though). |
