Getting started in coupon-ing is a lot easier when you know the lingo. Here are some of the most frequently used terms you'll hear about:
Smart Source ~ one of the 2 major companies that provide coupons in the Sunday papers.
Red Plum ~ the other major company. Formerly Valassis, this insert now seems to be primarily junk ads in my paper!
Catalina ~ a coupon which prints at the register, good towards your next purchase. For example, there may be a sale at your grocery store where you would receive a $2 catalina if you buy $10 of an advertised product. Save this and present it when you pay next time (often, you can split your orders up into multiple transactions and pay with that coupon. I do this often since I shop with my kids).
OYNO ~ Off Your Next Order. You will often see people say "I got a coupon for $x OYNO".
OOP ~ Out Of Pocket. The amount of money that you will pay.
RR ~ Register Rewards at Walgreens. A Catalina coupon that you use like cash on your next purchase.
ECB ~ Extra Care Bucks at CVS. You need to register for an Extra Care Card to receive the Bucks. Also like cash on your next purchase.
