I have always heard it in movies but they move on too fast for me to process it.

It is a hot sunny day outside and I just bought two ice cream cones for a dollar each. When I started eating it I realized that before I can finish eating the first one, the second one will be melted. Then you walk by.
Desperate to get rid of the second cone, I tell you that you can have it for three cents, because it is about to drip down my sleeve, but I don’t want to feel like I gave it to you for free. Back when this saying was made up it was bad to give someone something totally free because of pride. You buy the ice cream cone for three pennies on the dollar.
Sometimes bad people will pretend they are giving you something for pennies on the dollar just to trick you into buying more expensive stuff; like when they put candy at the cash register so you pause long enough to think about smoking. Then they make it illegal to just buy one cigarette, so you have to get twenty just to make sure you stay addicted. Bad people!
