# 3 Clipping Coupons

Lets start with some lingo that can help you when on coupon web sites.
Once you get the hang of what it means it’s a snap.

BOGO - Buy one Get one Free

B2G1 – Buy two Get one Free

CRT - Cash Register tape or Receipt

CAT or CATALINA – the coupon that spits out with your receipt

RR or REGISTER REWARD – Walgreens form of a Catalina

PEELIES - the coupon found on the package

IP - Internet Printed coupon

RAIN CHECK – When a store is out of the sale item, get a rain check so you still can get the sale price when back in stock.

IVC - Instant Value Coupon from Walgreens

OYNO - On Your Next Order

WT – Wine Tag, coupon found around the neck of a wine bottle

STOCKPILE – Multiples of the same item

UPC – Bar Code of item

OOP - Out of pocket - The amount of money you spend


There are more but these will get you started.

I went to CVS last week and did pretty good Receipt says Today you saved $193.15 and oop is $ 2.69 I was soooo happy but also mad at myself. I mad a boo boo. On my Pantene I had a coupon for $ 2.00 Full & Thick Plus one for Pantene styler or Treatment FREE wyb any Pantene Shampoo and Conditioner.
Well I bought the Shampoo and Conditioner so I thought you could use $2.00 Coupon plus get FREE treatment at same time. Nooooo you Can’t. They are both Manufacturers Coupons.
So I lost $ 4.00 Because she did the treatment coupon first, so with a big line behind me. I did not make her take off the treatment and the coupon so I could use the 2 $ 2.00 coupons that it refused to take.

So as we go along I will be making mistakes too. If you have any mistakes you want to add fell free to add a comment. I would love to here them plus we could all learn from them.
