Ask FTM: What Does NLA Mean?

May
6
2012

Today’s ask FTM comes from reader Jenny from FL:

Shannon, I often see the letters NLA after a coupon.. what does this mean?

Good question Jenny!

If you see a coupon that looks like this:

$1.00/1 Skippy Peanut Printable Coupon  NLA

The NLA means No Longer Available.   This means the coupon has run out of prints or has been pulled from a website. 

You might think – well why list the coupon then? 

I try to list recent printable coupons because many of you already printed it and can do the deal.

You might think – why link to the coupon site? 

There are two reasons for this..

1. Many people keep their coupons organized and know what site they print them from.

2. Sometimes, a coupon may get restocked and you might get lucky!

Hopefully, that answers your question Jenny.  If you have any questions about NLA coupons – leave it in the comments.

Stockpile Price List | Decide on Your Buy Price

Sep

2011

Earlier this year I did a series on Stockpile Prices. I am frequently asked what my stockpile prices are.  I am republishing this for the newer couponers.  Please be sure to read this entire post before using the lists.

This series has included Stock Up Prices on MeatStock Up Prices on Household Staples, Stockup Prices on Toiletries , Stock Up Prices on Pantry Staples and Refrigerated staples.

I have compiled all of these prices in a Printable Stockpile Price List that includes a place for you to write your own price. In addition, I have included a Blank Printable Stockpile Price List.

Remember, find prices that work best for you, don’t compare yourself to others, these prices are a starting point. I truly believe that these prices are obtainable for 85% of the FTM readers. However, it takes lots of work and time.  Find the price that best balances your time and money.

Learn to Coupon Series Update

Jul
12
2011

 

 

Back in April, I planned this Learn to Coupon Series.  I had all the topics outline and thought it would make for a nice summer series – reading at your leisure. While most of what I have posted still applies, there have been some big changes in the “couponing world”.

I wasn’t planning on some of the changes that happened:

:: Three major stores, Rite Aid, Target & Dollar General changed their coupon policy. These coupon policy changes really do make a big difference.

:: There are rumors of major grocery chains updating their coupon policies like Publix did in June.  One of them includes a store that is a big part of the deals on FTM.

:: The new coupon barcodes became effective July 1st.  This has started to cause some issues at stores that were not ready. I had no idea that the secondary bar codes were going to disappear. We are now seeing just one barcode on some coupons – like this:

These barcodes are not scanning at some stores and the stores just won’t accept them.  Remember, the old barcodes started with a 5 or 9.

So, all the sudden, I don’t feel like such an expert anymore.  Rather than publish posts that I had written two months ago that are already outdated, I need to regroup.  All these changes are making it hard for everyone to keep up.

I promise the series will be back shortly – as soon as I am educated enough to educate you!

  • Coupons you can use with that product
  • The price of the product per unit you will pay for that product after your coupon
