“1+1,” something you’ll definitely see when traveling in Korea—whether you know it or not...

The “1+1” promotions commonly seen at convenience stores and drugstores in Korea.

In fact, the system works a little differently from sales in Japan, so many people find themselves confused while traveling.

For those wondering, “Do I really get one for free?” or “How do I use it?”

I’m going to explain it clearly as someone living in Korea✍️

 

✅ How to Use “1+1” Correctly

1️⃣ Be sure to put two items marked “1+1” in your basket

2️⃣ When you pay at the register, you are charged for only one item

3️⃣ You can take both items home as they are!

❌ Common Mistakes

・Take only one item → You’ll be charged the regular price at the register…

・Choose two different types → The offer requires two of the same product

・Miss the mark → Regular price applies because the items are not eligible for “1+1”

 

🛍 Examples of eligible products

・Snacks such as ice cream and sweets

・Daily necessities such as shampoo and toothpaste

・Korean cosmetics and skincare products

They are frequently held at the convenience stores and Olive Young you often visit during your trip to Korea,

so be sure to keep an eye out!

💡 Tips for getting the best deal

・Always ask yourself, “Do I really need two?”

・Choose only as much as you can use during your stay

・It is also recommended to shop with friends you can share with

If you get carried away and buy too much, your luggage will increase, so shop wisely 😊
