I wanted 3 of something. No more than 3 or they'd go off. But they were on sale cheaper if you bought 2. So I only got 2. Wasn't the idea to make me buy more?
2 for £1.50 doesn't work

The people who only wanted one were enticed into buying two. Their twos trump your three.
If I'd only needed one, the same thing would apply. Buying two, one would go off before I used it.
Reminds me, over 60 years ago, a school classmate working at a dry goods store told me the store sold men's white shirts for $2 but would put them on sale for 2 for $5. Store was doing very well.
Only Americans would fall for that.
For some reason in the UK, it's exceedingly rare to find two small containers be cheaper than one large one.
