coupon clipping
Scissoring store savings
Coupon clipping is the practice of cutting coupons from newspapers, magazines, or mailers to redeem for discounts on purchases.
The term evokes a particular kind of frugal shopper, often with slightly dismissive connotations: My grandmother spent Sunday mornings coupon clipping.
In finance, coupon clipping refers to collecting interest payments from bonds—historically by detaching physical coupons from bond certificates.
