Lately I have received several questions about the abbreviations used in coupon match up post so, I thought it would be a good idea to rerun this post. If you are new to coupons and just figuring it all out welcome and keep emailing or leaving comments with questions!

  • BOGOF-Buy one get one free
  • BLINKIE-A machine that spits out coupons.
  • CAT-Catalina coupon (Manufacturer coupons that print out from a little machine at the register, triggered by what you buy.)
  • ECB-Extra Care Bucks (These are catalinas earned by buying specific products at CVS. They can be used like money on your next CVS purchase.)
  • FAR-Free After Rebate
  • GC-Gift Card
  • MQ-Manufacturers Coupon
