Around here fer is used as in '2 fer 1' or as one poster stated 'fer sure'

On it's own, I would definitely pronounce it just like four/fore. I would say "I need these for class tomorrow." or "These are for your sister."

However, I do tend to slur it to "fer" in certain situations like "These are two fer a dollar."

I agree. It kind of depends on the use. Standalone it's always "for" through. But yeah, if you might describe something as a "Twofer" then it's "fer" but this is knowingly mispronounced slang.

"For," after a lot of effort. It was pronounced "fur" in western PA where I grew up.

The same way I pronounce everything else...correctly.
