Know The Lingo
Hello
Posted by Save at Home Mommy on January 1, 2009
In order to survive in the couponing world, there are a few abbreviations, etc. you should know!
Sunday Newspaper Inserts:
If a coupon can be found in a newspaper insert, it will be listed with the date the insert came out and then the name of the insert. Example: 3/2 SS means the coupon can be found in the Smart Source insert published on March 2nd.
SS=Smart Source
RP=Red Plum
P&G=Proctor and Gamble
GM= General Mills
Other Lingo You Should Know
Q, QP or cpn= Coupon
MQ, MFR or manu= Manufacturer’s Coupon
SC= store coupon
CC= competitor coupons
BOGO or B1G1= Buy One Get One (as in you buy one item and you get another item either FREE or at a discount)
OYNO or oyno= off your next order ( as in buy 2 boxes get a catalina coupon for $2 oyno)
wyb= when you buy (as in get a free candy bar wyb 2 cokes)
ymmv= your mileage may vary (meaning your final price will depend on your store’s price, cashiers etc.)
oop= out of pocket (the amount of money you actually have to spend)
$1/1= $1 off the purchase of 1 item
$2/2= $2 off the purchase of 2 items….you get the idea
Albies= Albertsons
WAGS= Walgreens
RR or rr= register rewards (Walgreen’s rewards coupons that print out at checkout that are for a certain amount off your next purchase)
SCR= Single Check Rebate (Rite Aid’s rebate program that allows you to submit your qualifying receipts for rebates all month long and request one check for them at the end of the month)
ECB’s= Extra Care Bucks- CVS’s rewards system that prints out on the bottom of your receipt. They are used like cash on your next transaction.
Catalina= the coupons that print out of the machine next to the register when you check out. Get more info HERE.
Rolling= using a reward generated from the purchase of an item to purchase more items. Sometimes this refers to “rolling” a reward generated from a specific product to buy the same product, which does not usually work. This is also used in situations like Walgreens, where you can “roll” a register reward from purchasing one item to purchase another item in a separate transaction, to keep your out of pocket expenses low!
Stacking= combining a manufacturer coupon with a store coupon for one item.
Peelies= the coupons on items in the store that you can peel off.
Tearpads= pads of coupons available in the store on displays or next to the product that you can tear off.
Hang tags= coupons that they hang around the top of products in the store such as wine bottles or laundry detergent.
Blinkies= coupons that are in little black boxes with red blinking lights on them in the stores.
MIR= Mail in Rebate
FAR= Free After Rebate
TMF= Try me FREE which is a kind of rebate that manufacturers put out allowing you to try their item and submit a rebate for the full amount of your purchase.
