I know there are lots of ladies on here who cut coupons...is anyone interested in being part of a coupon train? I was thinking about it today as I was cutting coupons and looking at how many I don't use that I'm sure someone else would love to have.

Here's how I'm thinking it would work, based on what I've seen on some budgeting forums:
I'd compile a list of addresses of those who were interested. Then I'd get all of the coupons I don't have a use for and put them in an envelope to mail to the first person on the list. That person would go through, pick out what they wanted, put in at least as many coupons as they took out, and mail it to the next person on the list (the address list would probably circulate along with the envelope). You'd be responsible for postage for mailing out the train once it came to you.

Because this would require exchanging addresses, there would be some requirements for who could join (probably similar to the secret sister requirements). Also, I'd like to keep it to mainly (but not necessarily exclusively) manufacturers coupons since lots of stores won't take internet coupons. Depending on how many people are interested, we could have more than one train to cut down on mail times. Probably makes this a US only thing, unless someone wants to organize a Canadian swap (sorry ladies).

So what do you say? Anyone interested?

I am on one here in NC that come across the US from Ca stop several time . I have so many Q that I would love to be on another one, If you set it up you may want to check out the driffernt types I have read on some broad food.only /no personal things etc I have been in one where we packed the q up in baggies homecleanin/food/pets/hba (took to much time up) But the one I really like is i just cut them mark them and put them in the envplole and mail out on monday or tue to the next person . Each week pull the soon (with in a week) to exprite and any with my mark on them ou that tell me they have made a round trip and no one neede them! I love the train becaus people in other staets get the same q some times but a higer value (as in fl the values on one thing was .75, here in NC it was .50) I love because we have a store that doubles to!!! Lets get a trian moveing Please add me I can wait!!! We also send e-mail to each other to let the person know the package it on the way .I usally spen two-3 stamps a week on my train !

Bumping this back up to see if anyone else is interested...I probably won't start it unless we have a few more ladies who want in.
