Learning the Lingo

When learning to "Coupon" there are several things you need to know. I posted an entry earlier in my blog which listed my favorite/most visited "savings" websites and blogs. Most (if not all) use couponing terms and abbreviations. If you're just getting started here are a few abbreviations that you will need to know! I'm sure there are more but these are the most common. Websites, like Southern Savers, use them all the time!
