Learn the Coupon Language

If you are new to couponing it is hard enough to pick up sometimes and a bit overwhelming especially when you toss in stuff like CVSing, LWIF, BOGO, etc. Here’s a quick list to help you get through. If you know some that were left off feel free to comment below and I’ll add those.

BOGO- Buy one get one free, or sometimes you can get a bogo that is buy one get one half off.

LWIF- Look what I found, this is normally someone finding a great deal.

ECB- These are best known as extra care bucks, something that is popular among the CVS (store) shoppers. When you purchase certani items you actually get point (bucks) back at the bottom of your receipt, these can but used for future purchases. But remember they do expire so keep track of those.

IPC- internet printable coupons, which are basically coupons you print from the internet.

MC- manufacturer’s coupons are coupons you find in your sunday paper, inside magazines or straight from the manufacturer.

Stacking- using more than one coupon per product. Do be careful some coupons state you can’t stack.

Peelies- you know those coupons you peel off the product of some hamburger helper meals or shaving cream. These are great.

SS- Smart Source, this is one of the coupon books inside your Sunday Newspaper.
