When I first started learning the coupon lingo I was very confused.  It takes a little while to catch on to something that is novel, but once you get the hang of couponing lingo you will be on your way to being a pro!

Insert Terminology: These inserts come in the Sunday newspaper.  There are regional variations to coupons, not all areas get the same coupons (which can be a huge bummer)
P&G:  Procter & Gamble Sunday insert
RP:  Red Plum
SS:  SmartSource

* When I post store match-ups I put the coupon in parentheses.  If a post says (10/10 SS) that means the coupon should be found in the October 10th Smart Source coupon insert.  Remember, there are regional variations so your area may not have received that coupon.

Coupons Lingo:
$1/1, $2/3: One dollar off one item, two dollars off three items, etc.
2/$3, 3/$1: Two items for three dollars, three items for one dollar, etc.
BOGO: Buy one item get the second item free (interchangeable with B1G1)
B1G1: Buy one item get the second item free (interchangeable with BOGO)
B2G1: Buy two items get one item free
Beep: Sometimes the register will beep when a coupon is scanned to indicate that the intervention is necessary.  Some coupons beep for the price to be manually entered, while other coupons may beep if you used on an incorrect item.  To be perfectly fair
Blinkies: Grocery/drugstore coupon dispensers with blinking lights
Catalina: Catalina coupon, prints from a separate machine when your receipt prints.  You will find catalina machines at Walgreens, Target, and many grocery stores

SCR: Single Check Rebate – Rite Aid monthly rebates program (this is a check that Rite Aid mails to you)
Stacking: Using both a manufacturer’s coupon and a store coupon on one item
UPC: Universal product code, bar code

YMMV: Your mileage may vary, meaning some stores may allow you to do a certain deal while others may not
