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".



Well, really, if the sale was described as the OP said, the first 3
were at their regular price, and the 4th was free. If you bought 5 or
6 rolls, the 5th & 6th would still be at regular price, right?
