Coupon train anyone?

**SHOPGIRL** · 08-18-2005, 09:06 PM

From the posts that I read, it looks like there are a couple active coupon trains on FV.

I'd like to start a new one. I have a bunch of coupons that I don't need. I'm also going to start subscribing to the Sunday paper so I'll be getting more.

Last year at work, we had several Sunday papers come to work on Monday.  I know a bunch of coupons got thrown out weekly.  I'd grab 2-3 coupon inserts, but that was it.

I'd like to have the coupons being sent out every two weeks. So, if I started it, I would send it to the first person, then they would send it on.  I wouldn't wait till I got it back, if I had a bunch more, I would just start a new envelope.

So, if you'd like some coupons, private message me with your address, and I'll get the first envelope mailed out by Monday.

Valerie,

Your mailbox is FULL!

O.K. I'll go through my coupons tonight and I'll get together the ones that I won't be using. I'll email you the next person to send them to.

O.K. We're up to three people. It starts in Michigan, goes east to Pennsylvania, then continues on to NY. Anyone else want to hop on the train?

O.K. We've got 4 people so far, anyone else interested in trading coupons?

Hello!

Just checking to see where the coupon train is at this point? I thought I'd send out another batch of coupons on Monday, but if it is close to coming back to me, I'll wait.

Any of you use baby coupons, etc. . .? If not, I'll see if there is anyone else that can use them.

Also, if anyone else wants to join, private message me with your address and I'll add you to the list.

I'd love to join. I hate throwing away coupons I don't use. I'm in North Central PA. I'll PM you right now.

Thanks!

Can you tell me exactly how this works?

Basically, it's just mailing coupons that you cut out, don't use. There are around 7 people currenlty on the train. I send it to person A, they take out the coupons they can use, put in the coupons they can't use, and mail it on. When the coupons expire, each person discards of those coupons. That's basically it. So, the coupons just keep going round and round.
