Couponing 101 Class-Coupon Lingo Glossary Cheat-Sheet A-Z

Simplifying Coupon Terms & Abbreviations

Welcome 

Complete with Coupon Faries 

The coupon nation has a dialect that is peculiar to non-couponers. 

Who created the coupon language? The coupon language is derived from ordinary people. Yes, people like you and me. It is not a secret language, although at first, the terms and abbreviations may be confusing.

We will embark on the unknown via the list of coupon terminology below. Think of it as your translator or guide, if you will. This glossary of words was created for beginners aka newbies. Our goal is for you all to be confident and successful in saving money. We are delighted you have joined the Coupon Community.

  • BOGO/B1G1 = Buy One Get One
  • B2G1= Buy Two Get On BOGO 50% Off = (Buy One at Full Price) WYB The Second Item (you will receive half-off of the original price).

Couponing and Money Saving Tips

How many times have you been couponing and found great deals, only to have the cashier, csm, or someone in a management position, at your local store, refuse your coupons. Let's face it, not everyone is a fan of coupons or people who use them. The truth is, there are some real haters out there. Not only do couponers have to deal with haters, but also with the completely coupon illiterate.

What can we do as consumers? Number one, you should never feel guilty about using coupons. It is not your fault that the stores you frequent have uneducated people in charge of making decisions on your coupons.

Number two, always be polite, remember you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Yes, I know this is hard to do, especially after standing 45 minutes in a self check out lane in Walmart, and you are still waiting for a CSM.

Number three and I think the most important thing we can do as consumers; stand your ground, don't just walk away. You have the right to save money, using your coupons. Stores have a chain of command, if necessary, go to the top of the ladder. I have listed corporate phone numbers of a few of the places you may use coupons. I strongly advise you print these numbers and place them in your binders. It is better to be safe than sorry.



 If you are having problems with your store?


 DO THE SURVEY found on your register slip. That is a direct line between you and corporate headquarters. It may take some time but worth the effort. I assure you everyone of them is read.
