Coupon Train!

So I am thinking about starting a coupon train.. What is that you ask? Well you e-mail me your address and once a week I will email out a list and tell you who to send you left over coupons to.  Similar to a chain letter but it helps you save money..  All it will cost is a stamp on your part. So you in return  recieve some coupons that others didn't use. If you think you can keep up with this e-mail me at kdcarr20@yahoo.com please put in the subject line coupon train. Thanks!

A little more info below!
Basic Coupon Trains – The basic coupon train begins with a group of 3 – 6 members at different mailing addresses. An envelope of coupons (typically 40 – 200) is mailed from the “conductor” to the first person on the “train route” (mailing list). That person takes out the coupons they want and replace them with other coupons at least equal to the number they took out. They then mail the envelope (“envie”) to the next person on the route, who does the same.

Ideally each person keeps the envelope for no longer than 1 – 3 days, and pulls out any expired coupons. The train needs to keep moving along, since the idea is to send and receive those much needed coupons before the next sale, or the expiration date. Coupons expire quickly, so the train is only worthwhile if the coupons can be received, matched up with sales, and redeemed before they expire.


an example of what i have left over just from this week.. If I throw this away i feel like I am throwing away money.
