WELCOME TO MY BLOG!
I am a newlywed, a neurotic shopper, I have no children, and just got laid off after 10 years at my job - bottom line, I have a lot of time on my hands. So, I'm here to share my savings with you as I trampse around the southwest burbs of Chicago as a full-time consumer.

COUPON LINGO
Does couponing look like a foreign language to you? It made my head spin when I first started couponing. You won’t find many abbreviations on here because I try to spell things out clearly so the average coupon user understands. Hopefully, you find that helpful.
But in case you ever do run into any of this “code”, here’s a translation list to help you out:
BLINKIES = In-Store Smart Source Coupons. They are called “blinkies” because their little box blinks to get your attention and are near products. Kids are great spotters for these coupons! Note: These coupons usually say “do not double” on them and can be used anywhere manufacturer coupons are accepted. So if you find a blinkie coupon at one store you can take one and use it at another store.
BOGO/B1G1 = Buy One Get One
BTFE - Box Tops for Education (School reward program)
CATALINA = Coupon printed at register after purchased qualifying items. You can use these on another transaction usually at that particular store only. I like to use these ASAP if I’m at a store I don’t normally shop at so I don’t forget about them.
CLFE = Campbell’s Labels for Education (School reward program)
CNP = Coupon Near Product (similar to BLINKIES)
CPN = Coupon
CRT = Customer Receipt Tape. CVS receipt coupons to be used at CVS/pharmacy stores only.
DND = Do not Double (Some coupons have this language)
DOUBLE COUPON = Coupon that a store doubles in value
EB/ECB = ExtraCare Bucks you can use at CVS/pharmacy only.
ES = Easy Saver Rebate program from Walgreens.
FAR = Free After Rebate
GC= Gift Card
GM = General Mills (Coupon Insert you will find in the Sunday Papers. These seem to come out every month or so.)
IP or IPQ = Internet Printable coupons
IVC = Instant Value Coupon (Walgreens Store coupon found in monthly Easy Saver Booklet)
MFR = Manufacturer
MIR = Mail in Rebate
MM = Money Maker
OOP = Out of Pocket
OOS = Out of Stock
OYNO = On your next order
P&G = Proctor & Gamble (Coupon Insert you will find in the Sunday Papers at least once a month.)
Peelie = Coupon you peel off package.
PSA = Prices Starting At
Q = coupon
RC = Rain Check
RP= Red Plum (Coupon Insert you will find in the Sunday Papers)
RR = Register Rewards at Walgreens (Similar to Catalinas)
SS= Smart Source (Coupon Insert you will find in the Sunday Papers almost every week.)
STACKING = Using mutiple coupons for one product. Most stores will allow you to stack store coupon and manufacturer coupons. For example, you can stack a CVS/pharmacy CRT with a manufacturer’s coupon. Stacking includes stacking coupons with your MIR to reduce your OOP.
TEAR PAD = A pad of coupons or MIR near a product or on display. These are usually manufacturer’s coupons that you can use at any store which accepts manufacturer’s coupons.
UPC = Universal Product Code
WYB= When You Buy
YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary (Depends on certain store policies/factors whether the deal will work.)
Some other things you will see:
$1/1, $2/1, $2/2, etc. = This means you will get $1 off 1 product purchased, $2 off 1, $2 off 2, etc.
2/$1, 3/$4, 4/$5, etc. = This means two items costs $1 or .50/each, 3 items costs $4 or $1.33/each, etc. You can just buy unless the offer specifically states you must buy X amount to get the discounted price.
