Decoding my secret couponing language

When I list a coupon it looks something like this: Softsoap Liquid Hand Soap, any 7.5 oz. or 12 oz. .35/1 (10-18-08) SS-9/28

Coupon inserts that come in the Sunday paper have one of the following names: Smart Source, Red Plum, Procter and Gamble, or General Mills. Usually there are 2 inserts, a Red Plum (RP) and a Smart Source (SS). Once a month though, you will find a Procter and Gamble (P&G) in addition to your Smart Source and Red Plum inserts. The P&G coupons usually expire in one month, as opposed to other coupons that have longer expirations. Just to make things exciting, Smart Source sometimes includes a second insert (SS2), and General Mills (GM) will send out an insert as well. On holiday weekends, there usually are NO coupon inserts....did you get all that?

When the coupon is listed in my posts (or on couponing sites) it will have an abbreviation, such as SS (Smart Source insert), then a number, like 9/29, which represents the date the insert was included in the paper.

So, the coupon, Softsoap Liquid Hand Soap, any 7.5 oz. or 12 oz. .35/1 (10-18-08) SS-9/28 can be found in the "Smart Source" coupon insert that came out on September 28th.
