Amazon says I buy free books.
I bought half and half for free yesterday. My receipt shows I got half and half.
Buy: to acquire the possession of, or the right to, by paying or promising to pay an equivalent, especially in money; purchase. 2. to acquire by exchange or concession: ... to be the monetary or purchasing equivalent of: Ten dollars buys less than it used to.
If Amazon sets the price at $0.00. I paid $0.00 to acquire it so I bought it and now own it.
If the grocery store gives me a coupon for free half and half, I still bought the half and half, I didn't steal it.
