I've gotten it free, for 49c and for 99c. Matching coupons/sales works well. I don't buy any other brand no matter what the coupons says cuz I'm happy with mine. Some things I'm not so picky about and I'll use any brand. Either way I still save money and have a full pantry. I like the advice--if you've already stocked up-- don't buy more. I've seen folks with pantries that could feed an army--and they end up giving it away--giving is nice, but I wouldn't buy stuff just to give it away.
