The Lingo

Okay so most of this is going to look like gibberish, but once you get a little practice at reading coupons and store adds, you’ll be able to speak crazy coupon lingo too!

 Lingo breakdown

$1.00/1 : One dollar off 1 product

$1.00/2 : One dollar off 2 products

B1G1: Another way of saying “buy one, get one”

B2G1: Another way of saying “buy two, get one”

EB’s: Extra Bucks are store credits you earn from CVS

Manufacturer: Is a Company who produces the brand items

MFR: Abbreviation for Manufacturer

MIR: Mail in Rebate. (Love these!)

One Coupon per Purchase:  Means you can use one coupon per item being purchased. This means if you have 2 packs of gum, you can use one coupon on each pack of gum. Be sure to read each coupon for “Limit __ per Transaction”

One Coupon per Transaction: This means you are limited to 1 of these coupons per entire transaction.  This does not mean you are limited to transactions. If you have 4 coupons, do 4 transactions

OOP: Out-of-Pocket; refers to the amount of money you will pay a store to make your purchase. Does not include after-purchase savings, coupons and rebates.

Stacking: This means taking a store Coupon and stacking it with a Manufactures Coupon.

There are plenty of other abbreviations out there, but these are really the only ones I will use in my posts. If you want to take a look at a much bigger list than mine check out TheKrazyCouponLady. I learned everything I know for those AWESOME Krazy Ladies!
