Is there a French expression for "killing 2 birds with 1 stone?" I believe that in general, "2 for 1" (e.g. there is a 2 for 1 sale on t-shirts) comes from that English idiom.

Oui

Faire d'une pierre deux coups.

correspond, en relation avec l'expression proposée,"killing 2 birds with 1 stone?". en: correct for the expression "killing 2 birds with 1 stone?".

Mais pour ce qui est de "two for one", ce qui est la demande initiale of j-j, j'aurais plutôt dit :

But for the shortened expression "two for one", the initial OP demand, I would rather have translated to

deux pour le prix d'un.

Just some additional expressions that I have seen for the idea of "2 for 1":

  • 1+1 offert
  • Prenez en 2, payez en 1
  • Un acheté, un gratuit
