Coupon Lingo :-)

by Mary on May 8, 2009

This is an answer to a request from one of my readers! She is not sure of all the coupon lingo (I love that phrase-”coupon Lingo” hehe!

ANYTIME any of you have questions, please leave a comment with your question, OR email me!! ANYTIME :-) I’d love to help. Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head:

WAGS: Walgreens
BOGO, B1G1, BOGOF : Buy One, Get One Free

SS: Smartsource, which is an insert in the Sunday Paper
RP: Redplum, another insert in the Sunday paper
P&G: Procter & Gamble, another insert in the Sunday paper-usually comes out 1x per month

Coup: Coupon
Manuf: Manufacturer coupon
Store Coup: A coupon offered by a specific store, only to be used at that store. Most stores allow you to combine a manufacturer coupon AND their store coupon!!
Stacking: Using more than 1 coupon on an item. (usually 1 store and one manufacturer coupon)

RR: Register Reward, offered at Walgreens (this will need a post of its own)
ECB: Extra Care Buck, offered at CVS (this will need a post of its own)

Overage: Anytime a coupon value is MORE than the price of the product(s), the difference in the amount is “overage”. not every store allows this, not every cashier allows this.

RC: Rain Check

Edit (thanksKelly): IP is an internet Printable coupon!!

FLIP: Food Lion Internet Printable (Publix takes these as a competitor coup!)

Are peelies the coupons which are on the box or package? Also, I am confused as to what competetor coupons are taken? For example, I hear that target, cvs, and rite aid are taken at our publix, but what are coupons and what are specials in their sale papers? Thank you in advance for your help,
Tiffany S Duke

Peelies are found on the packages yes – the stickers or sometimes their just taped on. The competitor coupons are anything with the dotted line around that you cut out AND most have bar codes on them too. :) If its just an ad with a price it won’t work, if its a dollar off coupon it will work :-) Hope that helps. Feel free to ask more questions

this is probably a really STUPID question but here it goes…
say there is a coupon for 1 dollar off of 2 packages something
but if the store does the “double days”
does that mean you will get:
2 dollars off of 4 packages
or
2 dollars off of 2 packages?

If your store will double a $1 coupon (many stores only double up to .50 = $1) but if they do then you would get $2 off 2 packages
