Below are the crazy couponing lingo and abbreviations that I use on a daily basis. I know the abbreviations are confusing, but as you become familiar with them, you will recognize the abbreviations and they will become second nature!
B1G1 or BOGO = Buy One, Get One Free
B2G1 = Buy Two, Get One Free
Blinkies = Coupons that are in the coupon dispensers attached to shelves in your store. Dispenser is often red and often blinking.
DND = Do Not Double (this applies to people who shop at stores that double coupons. If you live in FL, most stores in FL do not double coupons)
ECB = Extra Care Bucks (instant rewards that print out when you purchase select sales items at CVS)
Hangtag = Coupons “hanging” around the necks of bottles, jars, etc at your store.
MAN or MFR = Manufacturer Coupon
MIR = Mail in Rebate
MM = Moneymaker
OOP = Out of Pocket
PG = Procter & Gamble Coupon Insert
Peelie = Coupon attached to items at stores that you have to peel off
RP = Red Plum Insert or printable coupons HERE
RR= Register Rewards (instant rewards that print out when you purchase select sales items at Walgreens)
SS = Smart Source Insert or printable coupons HERE
Tearpad = Coupons you have to tear off of pads at your grocery store
WYB = When You Buy
YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary (this means that a deal that works for me at my store, may work differently for you at your local store)
Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
hi, love this website. what does “rolling” mean in place of a coupon’s exp date? (Specifically on “hot coupon world dot com’s” coupon database?) Thanks!
If a coupon is rolling it is a printable and it means that the expiration date is custom to when you print a coupon. For a rolling coupon the expiration date will normally be a month after you printed it.
what does the R mean after an insert coupon for example THANKS
mt olive SS 8/26/12 R
Hey June,
Great question - the R behind the coupon location date means that it’s a Regional coupon, and may not be in your local insert. Hope this helps!
