It is really 25% off not 33%.

3 items at normal price X .25 = 75% of the normal price

3 items at normal price X .333 = 99.9% of the normal price (call it 100%)

Therefore the first three are really at 33% off making the 4th one "free".

Depending on how hte ad is written, the first three are at 100%, the fourth
one is 0%, or free. If you only buy one, tow, or three, you pay full
price., but only after the third do you get the fourth one free. Some
states do not allow that type of pricing so a 25% discount would be "fair"
for the singles.
