Coupon deals of the week.

Special package for couponers

The Dayton Daily News is offering a Sunday Double Deals package. For $3, you can buy two Sunday newspapers and get all the inserts and coupons that go with them. This deal is available in limited quantities at local Kroger, United Dairy Farmers and Dot’s Market locations.

Understanding the coupon jargon

To a new couponer, the jargon used may seem like a foreign language.

To help make your couponing ventures easier to understand, here are some commonly used couponing abbreviations.

BOGO: Buy One Get One — This is usually followed by free or half off.

ECB: Extra Care Bucks — Vouchers that are printed with your receipt and act as money toward your next purchase at CVS.

MIR: Mail-in rebate — These are items that you pay for at the register, but mail in a rebate form or a barcode to receive money back.

PG: Procter & Gamble — One of the three types of coupon inserts you will find in your Sunday newspaper.

RP: Red Plum — The second type of coupon insert you may find in your Sunday newspaper.

RR: Register Rewards — Vouchers printed with your receipt that act as money toward your next purchase at Walgreens.

SS: Smart Source — This is the third type of coupon insert you may find in your Sunday newspaper.

WYB: When You Buy — For when you need to purchase multiple items to get a bigger savings.
