For most sale papers that list this kind of promotion, you can buy one item and get the other "item of equal value" for free, so many dollars off, or a percentage off. The "item of equal value" qualifier means that your second item must be the same price (or cheaper).

So if Macy's is advertising 'buy one sweater and get one free' (item of equal value), I can purchase my first sweater for 34.99 and my second one is free if my second sweater is 34.99 or less.

Be a prudent shopper, cash registers are basically computers that can/will figure up the discount for you. If I purchased three items in the above scenario, many registers would automatically take my lowest priced item to make free or reduced. So, by thinking ahead, I can save even more money! Hope this helps.
