Setting up Mix and Match

[BigLakeGrocery]

I am having trouble setting up Mix and Match pricing for a group of items.
For this group, if you buy 2 of any items in a sub category you pay $3.00  each item is $1.99.

I have created a Sub Category for the items.  In the Manager screen, I selected Products, Discount and selected 2. Use product Sale% discount for sales within the Sale date period.  I changed the sale end date to next year.

In the Product Control, I edited the items to be included in the sale and set a sub category on the Data tab.  I then selected Discounts on the Functions tab and Checked Mix and Match by my new sub-Category, checked Buy 2.00, checked Amount and $3.00 next to Amount.

I logged completely out and back in, go to the sales screen to test and the discount does not show up.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

For Mix and Match only use the Discount window Buy xxx and Get %yyy Off.  You are mixing different discounts options.

Example 1 (by dollar amount):
Buy $3.00 and get %10 Off
Buy $5.00 and get %20 Off

Example 2 (by quantity)
Buy 3 and get %10 Off
Buy 5 and get %20 Off

Almost all of our mix-n-match pricing is buy 2 for a set price. 
ex:
1 for $1.99
2 for $3.00
discount is $1.01 NOT a % of price.  Is there a way to enter the discount $ instead of %?
Thanks,

The mix & match only work by %

You can do this by putting in a price on price 4 or 5 or 6. In the product window go to options and check ask price. This will get what you need. I do this at the drive thru for 2 for 1 pop and other things.
