Couponing Terms

Okay-- with the new year coming, I'm going to do my best to start doing some better coupon match-ups.  In order to do so in a timely fashion, I'm going to have to start abbreviating things.  Here's your guide to the lingo:

Abbreviated Names for Coupon Inserts:  
Smart Source= SS, Red Plum= RP, Proctor & Gamble = PG, General Mills = GM

Coupon Terms
$1/1, $1/2 = One dollar off one item, one dollar off two items, etc.
B1G1 = Buy 1 item, get 1 free
B2G1 = Buy 2 items, get 1 free
DND = do not double
WYB = when you buy
MIR = mail-in rebate
Stacking = when you use both a store coupon & a manufacturer's coupon on one item (Target & Walgreens are GREAT places to do this!)
Exp = expires

Kinds of coupons:

Catalina: refers to a coupon that prints from a separate machine as the receipt prints-- you receive it as you checkout
Blinkies: the coupons dispensers in the store aisles with the blinking lights (Hint....This keeps my active little guy busy during shopping because it is HIS job to hunt these coupons down.  He loves it!)
IVC: Instant value coupon (Walgreen's store coupons in ads & monthly booklets)


For some reason that's all of the lingo I can think for now....but as I find more to use, I'll add more to this list.
