Do you need a couponing dictionary to understand some of the posts?

scr | single check rebate (rite-aid's monthly rebate program. Very similar to Walgreens) |
rr | register rebate (instant rebates that print after you purchase certain items at WALGREENS. Can be used right away for purchases in the store. More restrictions than CVS's similar program. Restrictions: RRs earned from P&G products cannot be used to purchase P&G products. Also, you cannot use the RR to make a duplicate purchase [ex: Purchase toothbrush for 4.99, get 3.50 rr. If you use the 3.50 rr that you just got to try and buy a second toothbrush, you will not receive the new rr after purchasing the second toothbrush. You can use the 3.50 RR on other purchases). |

ymmv | Your Market (or mileage) May Vary (meaning what happens in one place, may not be the same in another. You can always try, but it may not work. Ex: Rite-aids in some areas of the country will not accept internet printable (ip) coupons. Sometimes one store in Shreveport will let you do something, but another will not. ex: One Walgreens told me I could use expired rapid rebates up to two weeks and another told me you can't use them... |
