Explanation:
There's a Chilean supermarket chain that uses "yapa" to cover all of these "more items for the same money" offers: 2 for 1, 5 for 6, etc. The word is very prominent in their TV and press advertising, as here: http://catalogosantaisabel.cl/santa-yapa/

It's even in the RAE:

Actually, if the truth be told, it's usually "6 for 5", not "5 for 6".
