Coupon Codes Demystified. Or What you didn't know about coupons!

Coupon Codes Demystified!
Here is a cheat sheet of coupon codes that can apply to just about anything, whether from your sunday circular or your local farm store.

SUNDAY INSERTS
P&G: Proctor and Gambl
RP: RedPlum
SS: SmartSource
V: Valassis
WBY: When you buy
IPQ: Internet printable coupon

$1/1, $1/2: $1 off one item, $1 off two items, etc
2/$1, 3/$2: Two items for a $1, three items for $2, etc

BOGO: Buy one get one free
B2GO: Buy two items, get one free

Cat: Catalina, coupons generated by the cash register
FAR: Free after rebate
MFR: Manufacturer
MIR: Mail in rebate
OYNO: On your next order
OOP: Out of pocket
PSA: Prices starting at
UPC: Universal product code (bar code)

YMMV: Your mileage (or manager) may vary-meaning some stores might give you a deal and some might not. Peelies: coupons attatched to the outside of a product

Storing your coupons is easy. By an envelope size organizer that has twelve tabs for creating different catagories for your coupons. People ones would be, medications, cleaning supplies, fruits&Veggies, Meats, Misc, etc.
For your horse or farm coupons,
supplies, feed, supplements, clothing horse or people or dog, tack, grooming supplies, medications,  etc.

At truck stops just inside the enterance there are usually racks of booklets and flyers that have coupons for resturants and hotels. Some of which are quite good deals. Hotel rooms for $39. a night, hey beats full price, espceially when your at a multi-day show. Also when you book reservations ahead of time tell the booking agent that you are with such and such a show,and are there any group rate room deals. For 20 minuetes of calling around to different hotels you may find some great deals, espceially if they provide a hot continental breakfast.

And of course don't forget about catalog codes, when ordering on line.  Most of these will give you a percentage off or will offer FREE shipping, just having free shipping is worth typing in the code.  If you have signed up with your favorite catalog companies then you will recieve them in emails and on any mailed catalogs to your home, be sure though to check for expireation dates since some are time sensitive. 
Happy Trails Everyone,
