- OOP – Out of Pocket. Actual cash paid
- Peelie – Peel-able coupon located on packages
- BOGO – Buy One Get One FREE!
- Catalina/CAT – Coupon that prints out from a separate machine next to the cash register.

- P&G – Proctor and Gamble (monthly coupon insert in the newspaper)
- RP – Red Plum (coupon insert in the newspaper)
