Coupons Rebate Offered Store Buyer Amount Money Product

In the United States, there are many types of coupons and rebate offers. "Manufacturer's coupons" are offered by the manufacturer, or the company that makes the product. "Store coupons" are offered by the store where the product is sold. Normally manufacturer's coupons and store coupons can be "combined" (used together) for "added" (additional) savings.

Many coupons are "cents-off" coupons, where a certain amount of money is "subtracted" (taken away) from the normal price of a product. There are also "two-for-one" coupons or "buy-one-get-one-free" coupons where the shopper gets two items but pays for only one of them.

Some grocery stores offer to "double coupons," meaning that they will "match" (offer the same amount off as) the cents-off coupon. For example, if you buy a can of soup that normally costs $1.35, but use a cents-off coupon for 40¢ and the store doubles the coupon, you will pay only 55¢ for the can of soup.

Rebate offers are usually offered by manufacturers, but they can also be offered by stores. With a rebate offer, the manufacturer or store offers to give the buyer a certain amount of money back if he or she "complies with" (obeys; follows all the rules) all the terms and conditions of the rebate offer. This usually means that the buyer must buy a specific type and size of product during a certain period of time. Then the buyer usually has to "fill out a form" (provide the information requested on a piece of paper) and "submit" (send to an authority) it with a copy of the receipt and the UPC code from the package. If the buyer does everything correctly, then he or she will receive a rebate check in a few weeks.
