Understanding Coupon Lingo! What are ECBs? What does DND mean? Is this even English?

There are a lot of things that you need to know when you first start couponing, and one is all of the abbreviations and terms/lingo that come along with the territory!  

When texting was first getting popular, I remember everyone freaking out about the abbreviations and "text slang" - heck, I still have to google what people mean sometimes when they send me "ROTFLMAO".  Uhhhh what?  

But no need to worry!  When you see a breakdown and the couponer is talking about their "MM" purchase, or their "ECBs" and "OOP", you will know right where to come to!  Your trusty coupon dictionary!  Here I have put together a list of the most common and frequent terms, abbreviations, and codes that you might find on coupon forums, facebook, or even here on my blog.  If there are some I missed, let me know!

Stock-Up Price on Peanut Butter & Jelly at Walgreens!!

Many of you know how much I love stock-up prices on anything that is used frequently in our household.... Well, Starting this Sunday (9/29) it's PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!

Seriously, if you don't get that joke, you need to click here and amuse yourself for a second or two...

BUT!  Aside from dancing bananas, I am here to tell you about the Skippy peanut butter that you can grab at Walgreens this week for $1, and Welch's Jelly you can grab for only $1.50!!  Yup, only $1 or $1.50 a jar sounds pretty awesome to me, and even makes a great donation to your local charities, schools, and food pantries! Also, those of you who need "filler" items for WAG RR, this is a great option for you!

Double Up! Understanding When "Do Not Double" STILL Doubles!

Ah, the beauty of a doubled coupon!

If you're like me, chances are you spend most of your time dreaming about a land where coupons are magically doubled and tripled, and envying the joyous couponers snatching up double deals!  Most of you know I live in sunny south Florida, and here we trade in double/triple coupon policies for sunshine and sandy shores... I guess some would consider it a fair trade!
