Here is a sample offer, Listerine wants you to send in two universal product codes (that is the small section where all the little lines are grouped for electronic registers) for a free bottle of the product, if you send in a penny, they will send you two bottles free. So you buy two bottles and when you do you use cents-of- f coupons to make your purchases. The items cost $2.64, you cut that price by $1.50 with two $.75 coupons, so the total cost is $1.14. It will cost you $.15 to mail in the offer and another $.01 to take advantage of the extra free bottle, so the total cost is $1.30. You mail in the offer and receive two free bottles, if you had to buy them they would cost you the original $2.64. So you have the use of four bottles of the product for only $1.30 which is a 75 percent savings to you!
