Most stores will offer a sale like above and you get blessed and have a coupon like above.

Grocery stores will do the sale as such:

both items will ring up at the register for $1.50 each lets say
then you hand them a B1G1 coupon
they will deduct $1.50 for your coupon
total due is $1.50/2
or hand them (2) $ off coupons, lets say $1/1, and you would pay $0.99/2

Drug stores (RiteAid, CVS, and if your lucky Walgreens)
