As I was working on putting together the grocery deals for this week, I realized that I should do a post explaining many of the terms used in couponing for those of you that are new to couponing. I hope these help and if I missed anything, please leave me a comment so I can add it to the list.
2/$5: This means 2 items are $5 (or $2.50 each). Of course there can be different amounts, this just gives you an idea.
$1/2: This means that the coupon will take $1 off 2 items
B1G1: Buy One, Get One Free
ECB: Extra Care Bucks used at CVS, which is printed on your receipt when you check out. Use these on your next transaction as “money”.
exp: Expires, listed with date to indicate how long the coupon is valid
MIR: Mail in Rebate
OOP: Out of Pocket, what is actually paid
P&G: Proctor & Gamble coupon insert in newspaper (usually only comes once a month)
RR: Register Reward used at Walgreens, which is printed on your receipt when you check out. Use these on your next transaction as “money”. (Note: RR are considered coupons at Walgreens.)
RP: RedPlum coupon insert in newspaper
SCR: Single check rebates offered at Rite Aid (monthly). You must sign up for the SCR program first, make the purchases, then enter information from your receipt to receive the rebate. It can take 5-7 days to receive your rebate. View Rite Aid SCR list.
SS: Smart Source coupon insert in newspaper
WYB: When you Buy
