What does the R stand for when you list a coupon to use? example (SS 1/27/13 R)
I can’t find these coupons when I look for them and I live in Wauseon.

Stands for regional – all coupons are regional:)
Amanda says
So I would need to get papers from gas stations closer to Toledo area to be able to get the one that have to”R”?
Joni says
I list all coupons so we never know what region they are in. I use clipping services so when I list all coupons that are available if they were not in your region, I would find a clipping service to get that coupon. . hope that helps!
