Understanding the Lingo

One thing that was confsusing for me when I started couponing was all the different lingo for things.

Manufacturer Coupon: These can be used anywhere that accepts coupons
Store Coupon: These are specific to a certain store and can only be used there.
Doubler: These double manufacturers coupons

Dates, Inserts and values:

A lot of times you will see this...
5/13 ss 1/1 Heinz ketchup this translates to...
The May 13th Smart Source Insert. Coupon value is $1 off 1 Heinz ketchup


Misc:

RR= register reward
Cat= catalina
IP= Internet printable
SC=store coupon
MF=Manufacturer

Catalina: These print at the register once your transaction is complete they are usually a value such as $2 off you next purchase at that specific store. Certain items will trigger these. (Seen at Albertsons and Fred Meyer.

Register Reward: Same as a Catalina ( Seen at Walgreens)


Once you understand all this you can start getting all the sweet deals!
