Coupon Tuesday

Hello! So I have decided that every Tuesday I am going to post a tip or answer a question on couponing. I know I post my awesome shopping trip deals, and I want all my readers (all 6 of you little sugars) to know how to get the same deals. So, today to kick it off, I think I will go over coupon "lingo". Because if you don't know what all the little abbreviations stand for, you won't know what the heck you are supposed to be doing.

So, here is a list of coupon lingo.
