Coupon Lingo Reference Guide

Sunday inserts:

P&G = Procter & Gamble Sunday insert
RP = RedPlum Sunday insert
SS = SmartSource Sunday insert

When a coupon is from a Sunday insert and sometimes there is information where to find the coupon beside it in parentheses. For example, (SS 12/14/08) would indicate that a coupon came from a SmartSource insert that was distributed in the 12/14/08 Sunday newspaper.
