IMPORTANT: It isn't really a secret language!

Alright, so many of you may have already looked at some couponing blogs and were really confused. Couponers use abbreviations in their deal match-ups. With some help from Kathy Spencer's blog, here is a list of the lingo.

B1G1 or BOGO – Buy One, Get One. You can use a BOGO coupon with a store BOGO  sale and get them both for FREE.
Blinkies – Little red  coupon machine in grocery stores with a small red blinking light that spits out coupons.
CAT or Catalina Deal-   A group of items that when purchased together produce a money off coupon. The money-off coupon prints out of the Catalina machine that sits next to the cash register.

Hang tags -Coupons that hang from the product
IP – Internet printable
MC or MQ – Manufacturers coupon
MFR – Manufacturer

RP – Red Plum, a Sunday coupon insert.
RR – Register Reward (Walgreen’s)
