Coupon Train update

It appears its been "Derailed"....or lost in transit.

Im going to start it up again....starting with MM2004 who it was on its way to.

Since there were so many "riders"....I'm going to split it up into two different trains and will mail a new train to each of the first two to get it started.

The two lists are :

Train 1:
Dm24angel
MM2004
Halisa
btrflygrl
Traceyd
Nylisa

Train 2:
Ang-Rich
Jmf423
Stephanief
lvdolphins
arodisi
lipglossjunky
katedevine


Mailing out the the trains to MM2004 and Ang-Rich tommorow.

Also I know others were interested in joining. We have a little too many people on this one,and too many on one defeats the purpose.... but JMF423 stated she was gonna form another one, so be on the look out for her post Chat Icon

Re: Coupon Train update

girls- id be happy to donate my coupons to the coupon train, if anyone is in my area, and wants to pick up like every other week or so ?

but I cant commit to joining the train, as I mentioned in a previous post, I'd cause a derailment Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

my memory is way too lost to keep up with this,but i'd be happy to pass my coupon packets/booklets for anyone to throw on the train Chat Icon

Its more of a grocery/baby train thing.

Basically the concept is you take what coupons you can use and replace them with coupons that others have listed on their "wish lists" of items they use and eat etc on a daily basis.

When you get the train, you go through it and do the above and then mail it back out within 48 hours usually to the next person on the train.

So as above, I have you on Train # 2. Do you think you will be able to participate with coupons for baby stuff/grocery items?

If it's ok, I will hold on to it until Sunday, so, I can possibly add more coupons from Sunday's paper.
I will mail it out Monday to:
Arodisi (Katie).

Re: Coupon Train update

I just wanted to update and ADD some info- Both trains made a complete cycle...YEAH!!!!

I hope everyone got some good coupons.

It does appear though that something happened to TRAIN # 2....and I just wanted to clarify how a train works in case someone misunderstood.

The train started when I sent it out with about 50-60 coupons....

Its intended that people take a few coupons for their wishlist items or what they can use and attempt to replace them with as many as they took out. So the next person always has a good amount to choose from....to make it worthwhile....

Somewhere down the line something went array as poor Kate only received 4 coupons.

I thought I had explained it well, but Im a new mom, sleep deprived and I could not have, so I hope everyone gets a chance now to read this and hopefully we can make the train even BETTER the second go around.

THANKS!!! Chat Icon

Oh and Liza- No worries with stamps....about 40-50 coupons only require 1 41 cent stamp.....
