  2. All over...

    A while back, Kelloggs had the 'Share Your Breakfast' promo - each box of cereal contained a free breakfast item (your choice). That's where I got the V8 Fusion and a bunch of yogurt.

    The stayfree was a $2 cpn applied to a sale of $1.97 (That's the trick - using coupons on a sale...)

    And the Liberte was part of a facebook promo (there are others) where, if you like their page, they give you a free product sample.
