What the heck are we talking about?

We use a lot of abbreviations and crazy coupon lingo on our blog. If you are new to the wonderful world of coupons here is the skinny on what the heck we are talking about!

Coups - COUPONS!

P&G - Proctor and Gamble coupon insert in the Sunday newspaper. We will always put the date of the newspaper in which the insert came in. Example: P&G 4/11 means Proctor and Gamble April 11th.

RP - Red Plum coupon insert in the Sunday newspaper or if you live in Northern Utah it comes to you in the mail on Tuesday with all the store ads. There are also Red Plum coupon sites online.

Peelies - Coupons that you peel off a package.

Blinkies - The little machines attached to shelves at the store that have coupons that you pull out of them. They usually have a blinking light on them.

Printables - Coupons that you print from the internet. You can usually print 2 coupons per computer. After you hit print to get your first set of coupons, wait until they print, then hit your back button and then hit retry or refresh and your second set of coupons should print automatically.

RR - Register Reward at Walgreens. A Register Reward is a coupon good for anything in the store that prints out after you have bought the specified items. However, you cannot use that coupon to get another of the same item and expect another voucher to print out.
Example: If I buy 1 Schick Shave gel and get a $2.99 RR and use that to buy another shave gel, I won’t get another voucher on the second shave gel.
