I've had a lot of questions pop up on what all my coupon lingo is, so I thought I'd give a brief tutorial on what everything means when I post deals. I want to try to help you get started on The Coupon Game without frustrating you with all the little stuff.
So, here's the 101 on COUPON LINGO:
- $1/1 ; $2/1 - Coupon for $1 off of 1 item ; $2.00 off 1 item, etc
- $2/$5; $3/$15 - Coupon for $2 off a $5 purchase, $3 off a $15 purchase, etc
- Blinky - Coupon dispensers at grocery/drug stores with the blinking lights
- BOGO - Buy One Get One Free
- CRT - Cash Register Tape (Scan your card at the CVS price check scanner)
- ECB - Extra Care Bucks - CVS "money" printed on receipts to be used like cash in store
- ESR - EasySaver Rebate (found at Walgreens)
- IPQ - Internet Printable Coupon
- MFR - Manufacturer Coupon
- OOP - Out of Pocket - actual cash paid
- Peelie - Peelable coupon located on packages
- Q - Coupon
- RR - Register Reward - Walgreen's "money" printed on receipts to be used like cash in store
- RP - Red Plum - coupons from newspaper insert
- SS - Smart Source - coupons from newspaper insert
- P&G - Proctor and Gamble - coupons from newspaper insert (once monthly)
You can always find this list above on the side of this site for your convenience as you're learning. It'll all become second hand before long!
As I post the weekly deals, this is typically what you will find:
An example of a Deal with a newspaper insert coupon would look like this:
CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Mascara
Price $7.99 - $1/1 12/28 P&G = Pay $6.99
This means that the store price is $7.99.
You can use a $1 off 1 coupon from the 12/28 P&G newspaper coupon insert.
Your final price after coupons will be $6.99.
An example of a Deal with an internet printable coupon would look like this:
Excedrin Express Gels or Migraine
Price 2/$10 - 2 $2/1 IPQ = Pay $6/2
This means that the store price is 2/$10.
You use 2 of the $2 off 1 internet printable coupons (which you can click on my link shown).
You'll end up paying $6/2.
