Knowing the Coupon Lingo = saving money

I've noticed that most couponing websites have their own set of language and acronyms. I've decided to post about the language of saving money.

Various coupon inserts
SS - SmartSource insert
RP - RedPlum insert
GM - General Mills insert
P&G - Proctor & Gamble Insert

Coupon Lingo
BOGO - buy one get one free
B2GO - buy two get one free
CAT - catalina
Closeouts - these are items that are marked down to usually half off that the store will not restock, because they are being discontinued by Kroger or the  manufacturer
Ea - Each
ETS - excludes trial size
EX or EXP - expiration date on the coupon
FP - final price
Inserts - these are the paper coupon inserts you find in the Sunday paper
ONYO - on your next order
OOP - out of pocket expense
OOS - out of stock
RC - raincheck
Q - coupon
UPC - universal product code, barcode
WYB - when you buy

If there are any other acronyms you have questions about, feel free to comment below!
