Buy the second chicken, put in in your freezer, eat it when you next want a chicken. You don't eat any more chicken than usual, but the supermarket feels slightly more secure because they got paid in advance.

Unless the mark-up on the chicken was doubled, you'd still be getting 2 for the price of 1.
The main reason for these offers is to get you into the shop with the hope you'll buy other stuff.

What I said only makes sense if the chicken also costs slightly more than normal.
Or I suppose it still works if you weren't going to buy any chickens today, but were persuaded to by the BOGOF.
Still doesn't have to mean rampant chicken consumption, anyway - just storing up the chickens for later.
