Mad Coupons=Money in Your Pocket

Take your pick on these great Coupons! 

BOGO: What does it all mean?

Here are a few of the most commonly used Couponing abbreviations.
If you find one that is not listed here, please let me know and I’ll add it.

P and G = Procter and Gamble Sunday Coupon Insert

RP
= Red Plum Sunday Coupon Insert, and ONLINE printables

SS
= SmartSource Sunday Coupon Insert. This coupon source, not only sends out inserts in the Sunday papers but they also have an online site with coupon printables.

B1G1 or BOGO=Buy One, Get One Free

Blinkie: Find these coupons at the store, that prints out of a small machine, next to the product.
Catalina: A coupon that prints out at the register which is either certain value off your next purchase or certain value off a certain product. These are generally used at the same store they printed, but some stores will accept these coupons, as “competitor’s” coupons. **NOTE** These coupons sometimes delayed in printing, so make sure you wait a minute before walking away from the register. If you are certain you were supposed to receive one, and it did NOT print, notify the Cashier or Manager.
Competitors: This is the term meaning “of related chains.” For example, grocery stores will take other grocery store’s coupons and drug stores will take other drug store coupons. Always check with each store on what their couponing policy is and whom they consider to be a competitor.
Coupon Insert: These are packets of coupons found in Sunday papers and also sometimes in the ads mailed to you during the week. These are typically sent out by Smart Source (SS or S), Red Plum (RP) and Proctor and Gamble (PG)They are also refered to as inserts, S, SS, RP and PG.

Peelie = Coupons found on products in the store. (Don’t forget to pull these off and hand them to your cashier when you check-out. Don’t rely on the cashier to notice them for you.

Register Rewards = Exclusive to Walgreens. They work like cash on your next order. (Some restrictions do apply.) Also refered to as RRs.
Rolling Catalinas – This means that you can use a catalina (see definition) as payment on another transaction of equal merchandise and another catalina will still print. Example, if you buy 5 “name brand items,” a $5 catalina will print. If you then buy another set of those same 5 “name brand items,” you can use the previous catalina you received as payment towards the order and another $5 catalina will print.
Stacking Coupons = This is the term used when stores will let you use their own store coupons along with a manufacturer’s coupon for the same item.

Value of Coupons

     If you had an opportunity to save money on products you use every day, why wouldn't you take advantage of it? I was the kind of person who said, "I see no value in coupons". However after walking away from a position in corporate america to be a full time SAHM(stay at home mom) of 3, I decided to look for ways to save money for my family and serve others in need at the same time.
     Couponing has become an integral part of my life and I love getting a great "deal".
How many people do you know who can walk out of a store paying pennies on the dollar for brand name items? With MadCouponing you are able to do just that. Check out MadCoupon.blogspot.com daily for great tips and freebies on any and everything you can imagine. After using my tips, you won't pay retail for anything ever again.
