Hi,
It sounds like you’ve set up a ‘cheapest in the group’ rule, when you want ‘cheapest in the cart’. ‘cheapest in the cart’ is available in the Pro version. Here’s the writeup:
As in intro, it’s important to think about Cheapest deals in the correct way…
If you want a deal where you buy 1, get a 2nd item but the discount is on the cheaper of the two,
the rule should be:
‘buy 2 get the cheapest at a discount’.

Buy any 2 Laptops, get the less expensive 20% off
Cheapest in the group deals are very literal. In this example the Rule counts the first
two items it finds, and discounts the cheaper of the two. If the rule repeats,
it goes on to the next two.
– select
Deal Type : Discount Cheapest / Most Expensive
– hit the ‘publish’ / ‘update button
– ignore the error messages
– then when you get there,
Discount Applies To : Cheapest Product
will be available
for a group, change the following:
Show Me : Advanced
Buy Group Amount Applies To : All Products
Buy Group Amount Type : Buy Unit Quantity
Buy Group Amount Count : XXX desired amount
filter details
and whatever discounting you desire.

For ‘cheapest in the cart’, you’ll need to use a wordpress filter.
A filter example is include in the pro plugin downloaded ZIP file.
Please take a look at pro plugin/cheapest in cart filter.txt
and follow those directions…
NB: Cheapest in the cart deals cannot repeat – you set the rule to occur once per cart
Best,
Vark
