Q&A: Coupon Abbreviations

I'm often asked what different abbreviations in my posts mean. Here are several common abbreviations I use, along with their meaning.

Common Coupon Abbreviations
SS: Smart Source coupon insert. Comes in the Sunday paper.
PG: Proctor & Gamble coupon insert. Also comes in the Sunday paper.
RP: Red Plum coupon insert. Most areas of Utah get this is the mail on Tuesday. Go here to see where your area has access to the Red Plum.
BOGO: Buy One, Get One Free sale
OYNO: On Your Next Order. Used to describe catalina offers that enable you to save money on your next shopping trip.
OOP: Out of Pocket. Referring to the amount of money you'll pay before rebates or other offers.
WYB: When You Buy. Used to explain the final price of an item or promotion that requires additional purchases. For instance, If General Mills cereal is on sale and there's a coupon for $1 off 2, I'll say, "Final price: $1.38, wyb two."
DND: Do Not Double. Verbiage written on a coupon that prohibits you from being able to double the value of the coupon at stores that double coupons.
DNT: Do Not Triple. Verbiage written on a coupon that prohibits you from being able to triple the value of the coupon at stores that double coupons.
YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary. Used to indicate that different people may have different experiences at different stores.
MIR:  Mail in Rebate
SCR: Single Check Rebate, available at Rite Aid.
RR: Register Rewards. Walgreen's form of catalina offers.
