0I'm assuming that this phrase is used when there's a sale or special store promotion. It's a shortened version of "(If you) buy one, (you) get (another) one free". It's not exactly grammatically accurate but it would do.

In England (where I am from) you would say "Buy one get one free". This is abbreviated to BOGOF in the retail trade.
