PLEASE: What does -$3 coupon (4-17SS) mean for Splenda

Hi Nancy, go to the top of my page to “tutorials” and click on “coupons 101”. That will explain all of the abbreviations used in couponing. SS stands for SmartSource, which is one of the inserts you will get in your newspaper (or delivered to your home as some SS inserts are now delivered even if you do not get the newspaper). The numbers before that are the dates. So, there was a $3 coupon for Splenda in the SmartSource insert delivered on 4/17. There was a $1.50 Luster White coupon in the SmartSource insert delivered on 4/3. There was a $1 coupon for Stay Free Maxi Pads in the SmartSource insert delivered on 3/27.
