Coupon Lingo

While there is a lot of "coupon lingo" that I do not use, I thought it might be helpful if I put the definitions of some of the coupon lingo that I will be using in my posts:
$2/2- when I post something like this I am saying " $2.00 off 2" of whatever product I am talking about
2/$5- This means you can purchase 2 items for $5.00
Blinkie- these are the machines in some stores that have coupons and they blink... you know when you were little and just had to pull them??? That's what I am talking about!
B1G1/ BOGO- Buy One (1) Get One (1) Free
Catalina- these are coupons that print out at the register- like at Winn Dixie, Walgreens, etc.
ECB- Extra Care Buck (only at CVS)
GM- General Mills coupon insert in Sunday paper
IP- Internet printable coupon
MQ- manufacturer coupon
MIR- mail in rebate
MM- stand for Money Maker-this is when the coupon value exceeds the price paid for an item (Love!!)
OOP- Out of Pocket (the actual amount of money you had to pay out of your pocket)
PBX- Publix
Peelie- a coupon that you peel off of an item
PG- Procter and Gamble coupon insert in Sunday paper (also called P&G)
Q- coupon
RP- Red Plum insert in Sunday papers
RR- Register Reward (only at Walgreens)
SS- Smart Source coupon insert in Sunday papers
Stacking- using more than one coupon on an item (for example: Publix will let you use both a MQ and a store coupon on one item- stacking)
SQ- Store Coupon
WAGS- Walgreens
WYB- when you buy
