I have been comp...Oh no, you beat me to the punch! I have been compiling a glossary and an acronym dictionary for a future post on my own blog (http://latentquarter.wordpress.com). But I guess collaboration is better than competition. Here are some that you missed:<BR/><BR/><BR/>CVS – A particular chain pharmacy which tends to have really great deals. There are CVS pharmacies in most states, excluding Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Hawai'i, Idaho, Oregon, Utah Washington state, and Wyoming. There are none around where I live, either, but apparently it is the largest pharmacy in the United States.<BR/><BR/>EXP – Expires on or expiration date<BR/><BR/>FAC – Free After Coupon<BR/><BR/>GC – Gift Card<BR/><BR/>MC – Manufacturer's Coupon<BR/><BR/>OOP – Out Of Pocket. Refers to amount actually paid after coupons, rebates, or whatever.<BR/><BR/>OOS – Out Of Stock<BR/><BR/>P&G – Procter and Gamble, a major manufacturer of many different types of household goods. Not to be confused with PG&E, which stands for Pacific Gas and Electric. Procter and Gamble puts out coupon inserts in newspapers on a regular basis, so someone may use this acronym to indicate where they found a particular coupon.<BR/><BR/>S – SmartSource. This is one of the two main newspaper coupon insert companies, the other being Valassis. This abbreviation is not used frequently.<BR/><BR/>SCR – Single Check Rebate. Refers to Rite Aid's rebate program.<BR/><BR/>V – Valassis. One of the two main newspaper coupon insert companies, the other being SmartSource. This abbreviation is not used frequently.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09756785334968585777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7769693435871609647.post-59236378900830596882008-01-05T14:13:00.000-06:002008-01-05T14:13:00.000-06:00thank for the definitions.

I am just beginning to get into using coupons, so your glossary was much appreciated.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295446370225907885noreply@blogger.com
