I know for those of us beginners when you first start couponing, are wondering 'what are these abbreviations?' That's coupon talk....lol. Ok so for all of us I'm gonna give you the couponing 'terms'

SS-Smartsource (coupon insert found in your Sunday newspaper)
RP-Red Plum (coupon insert-in my area this insert comes in the 'Circulars')
PG-Procter & Gamble (coupon insert found in your Sunday newspaper-monthly)
CAT or CATALINA-coupon thats prints from the machine next to the register after transaction
(this coupon is usually a $dollar off amount for a future purchase)
BOGO or B1G1- But one get one free
BLINKIES-in-store coupon found in near product, normally from a red blinking box
PEELIE-coupon you peel off product
OYNO-on your next order

WYB-when you buy
ECB-CVS Extra care bucks
RR-Walgreens' register rewards
IVC-Walgreens instant value coupon-savings book found in store usually near the weekly ad.
UPR-Rite Aid's UP rewards
STACKING-the use of a store coupon + a manufacturer's coupon on 1 item (most stores allow stacking, but always check you store's policy first.
YMMV-your miles may vary (success of the attempt may vary, could depend on your cashier, your store-etc)
NLA-no longer available

& for those that are wondering about the 'circulars' I mentioned, referring to the Red Plum insert. Those are the weekly ads from your area's stores, found in a white plastic bag. They throw it on my step on Fridays!!!!
