Anyone want to join a coupon train?

I was involved with one on the Parenting board but it got derailed somewhere. I figured the Home board was probably a good place to start one since many of us are trying to save money and budget more.

I think 6 is a good number for a coupon train so I am looking for 5 more people...FM me if interested.

ETA: A coupon train is pretty easy. Basically everyone puts their unused coupons (or whatever coupons they dont want) into an envelope to send to the next person on the list. Each time you receive the envelope with the coupons from the previous person, you can also take out whatever coupons you want to use. It just keeps going round robin where people add what coupons they dont want and take what coupons they want.

The coupons train includes coupons for anything really b/c you never know what someone else may find useful. Coupons for food shopping or discount for clothing stores, baby items, etc.

I think its something where you receive a bunch of coupons in the mail and then throw in yours that you aren't going to use and send it to the next person!!!!

WOW, didn't think I'd know that, did you? LOL

I bet its fun and useful!

I'd love to be in one too! I'm on a Yahoo! coupon train group, and it's very helpful!
