Both reasons I and II are valid and commonly used by grocery stores to offer "buy one, get one half off" specials. The first reason is to incentivize customers to buy more and the second reason is to still make a profit on the second unit, even if it's sold at a lower price. There are no government regulations that require grocery stores to hold these promotions.
