A Foreign Language?

Couponers use their own language, and if you are new to couponing, it can be very confusing. Here is a list of abbreviations and lingo and what they mean and how they can be used.


W: coupon found in Walgreens weekly ad only good for that week. These can be stacked with MC.

B1G1: buy 1 get 1 (ex. B1G1 free)

Blinkies: Coupons you get at the store in the aisles by products.

Catalina: a coupon that prints out with your receipt from a separate printer

Easy Saver Catalog or ESR or ESC: this is the rebate book found at Walgreens

FAR: free after rebate

IP: internet printable coupon

IVC: instant value coupon, these are the coupons found in the Easy Saver Catalog at Walgreens

MC or MQ: manufacturers coupon

MIR: mail in rebate

OOP: out of pocket

P & G: Procter & Gamble

Peelies: peel off coupons found on products at stores

Red Plum or Valassis (RP): coupon insert found in your Sunday Paper

RR: register rewards, catalina that prints out at Walgreens when you buy specific products, only good at Walgreens. Don't use them to buy two of the same deal you got it on, you won't get another one. They are usually only good for 2 weeks.

SCR: single check rebate, Rite-Aid's rebate program

Smart Source (SS): coupon insert found in your Sunday Paper

Stack: refers to using two coupons for 1 purchase (ex. 1 store coupon and 1 MC)

YMMV: your mileage may vary (meaning in some stores this deal will be applicable, but you may have trouble trying it with others)
