To meet requests I set up a "two for" item at a special price.
Now I have a problem. I can't lock the price from cart discounts with a buy now button because my product has sizes. That means someone can take my 25% off special price and get another 10% off of it if they have a discount code.
Anyone have a work around idea?

Since these items have a size, I presume that they are tangible goods, so bear in mind that Buy Now buttons cannot use our shipping calculation feature because that depends on the cart, although enabling the Shipping/Buyer's Address setting in the product settings would at least trigger collection of a shipping address during checkout.
That said, it appears you could manually modify Buy Now button code to include a specific size value in the href= URL, and then offer a choice of separate Buy Now buttons for each size. E.g., where XXXXXX represents the product's Item Number:
If the product uses "Variations which tell more...":
Small: <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?i=XXXXXX&c=single&cl=150576&on0=Size&os0=Small" target="ejejcsingle"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/x-click-butcc.gif" border="0" alt="Buy Now"/></a><br>
Large: <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?i=XXXXXX&c=single&cl=150576&on0=Size&os0=Large" target="ejejcsingle"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/x-click-butcc.gif" border="0" alt="Buy Now"/></a>
Or if the product uses "Variants affecting price/etc...":
Small: <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?i=XXXXXX&c=single&cl=150576&o1=Small" target="ejejcsingle"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/x-click-butcc.gif" border="0" alt="Buy Now"/></a><br>
Large: <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?i=XXXXXX&c=single&cl=150576&o1=Large" target="ejejcsingle"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/x-click-butcc.gif" border="0" alt="Buy Now"/></a>
For the method I explained, yes.
There's another approach you could use to exclude your two-fer item from other cart discounts. Replace the single cart discount for All Cart Items with a series of product-specific discounts for eligible items, all using the same discount code. These discounts work by altering the per-unit price of the specified item by a flat amount, so you could calculate what 10% of the price would be and set the discount to that amount. When the buyer enters the code, all items in their cart which have a matching discount for that code would be discounted accordingly.
