Many of my readers get lost in the coupon lingo, and I would hate for you to miss out on a deal just because you didn’t understand what I had posted. So here are some of the commonly used abbreviations that you will find here on The Frugal Find and in the couponing world. If you really want to get a grip on all of this, take the FREE Online Coupon Class!

BOGO – Buy One Get One Free
CAT or Catalina – Coupons that you get WITH your reciepts, from the Catalina Marketing Company.

The SS and RP circulars come every week, does the P&G one? Does the P&G only come certain weeks or in certain papers? It did not come in mine this week.
Thanks!

It varies week by week, but no you shouldn’t have received a P&G insert today. The P&G typically comes about once a month.

I have heard that we can not double in California but I heard you talking about Stacking. Are they the same?
