what is oynso or oyno i’ve seen both and don’t know what they mean…..thanks. I love your site
On Your Next (Store?) Order. It’s prints at the register with your receipt and is good towards your next trip to that store. Treat it like a gift card or, a better metaphor, ECBs (Extra Care Bucks) that you get at CVS.
I meant to say: “It’s a coupon that prints…”
thanks julie…that’s what i was thinking but wasn’t positive
I’m just starting out and would like to know how to best propel myself into great savings and deals. I have set up a notebook with coupons and feel relatively organized. Now what can I do?
I would follow Collin’s posts for the weekly savings. After you try a few of those you get the hang of it and start to remember the coupons you have and can see savings in the store. Such as spotting a clearance item that you have a coupon for and so on.
Stacking – Using a MQ + SQ = GREAT savings!
BOGO – Buy one Get one free
SCR- single check rebate
CAN YOU GO BACK TO PREVIOUS RP COUPONS AND IF SO HOW?
So I have a question regariding BOGO – I was at Target, and I bought 4 ziplocs that were on sale. I had 2 BOGO free coupons, and two .55 coupons. The cashier told me I couldn’t use both the BOGO and the .55 – is that correct? I thought that’s how I had saw it on the Target list for this week.
I received a grocery store ad and inside there was a paper that had all kraft coupons. The coupons say “in ad coupon” and “redemable at” but It doesn’t say the grocery store at all. Does this mean I can’t use it at other places?
LOL! “Jedi.”
What is a PDF coupon?
What does GM mean. Its not in the coupon jargon list.
GM stands for General Mills! General Mills is a coupon inserts by Smart Source that is sometimes put in the Sunday Newspaper! Hope this helps you!
Thanks. These inserts must not come in our paper. I dont think i have seen them. I never seen to locate a coupon listed in the data base with GM. thanks again.
