Coupon Lingo



One thing I discovered when I began couponing is like any other hobby/skill it has it's own lingo that goes along with it. Now most of it you can kinda work yourself around if you don't know it but eventually it's a must learn for avid coupon clippers!





For beginners:
-BOGO-Buy one get one
-DND-Do not double(coupons sometimes say this at the top by the expiration)
-MFG-Manufacturer
-HBA-Health & Beauty Aides
-ISO-In search of
-SS-commonly used for SmartSource coupon inserts
-RP-RedPlum coupon inserts
-PG-Proctor&Gamble coupon inserts(commonly found once a month inSunday papers)
-Tearpad-found in stores by items
-IP-Internet Printable(Plenty of websites like www.coupons.com allows you to print coupons)
Diving in to the long list of couponing lingo:
-Blinkies-instore smartsource coupon dispensed near product
-Catalina - coupon dispensed at register after purchase(Make sure to ask for these!)
-WYB-When you buy(sometimes coupons give you a deal on multiple items)
-OOP-Out of pocket(What you pay after coupons and discounts for your items)
-MM-Money Maker(When you can purchase something with a coupon and get money back from it)

Store lingo:
-WAGS-Walgreen's
-RR-Register Rewards(Walgreen's reward program that print when checking out on special item)
-ECC-Extra Care card(CVS card)
-ECB-Extra Care Bucks(CVS, earned when scanning card in store and purchasing items)
-HL-Homeland
-FL-Foodlion
-WM-Walmart

I'm sure there's tons more out there, but these are the ones I see and use on a everyday basis with my coupon forum usage. Hope this helps some of you. :D
