Shopping In Lingo: Abbreviations And Acronyms

Visit the sites of the coupons, negotiate repayment or May, at first, seem
like visiting a foreign country. You see words such as:

GDA! Fat B & M Bogo in soaps, HTH

And guess what? Huh? What word? What
The language is that?

(Translation: Good Deal Alert! Bath & Body Works

help!)
