Coupon Train ~~ New Riders Welcome!

Sent and received this week, just got to lazy to post...sorry.:rolleyes1

Not really a coupon savings, but I wanted to brag anyway. Just bought my Disney on Ice tickets and because I was using the code to buy them before they go on sale to the public and I bought the opening night tickets ( extra discount) I was able to get the VIP seating that is $55 for $30. We are a family of 5 so that either saved us $125 or got us into seats that we would not have been able to afford without the discount ( just depends on how you look at it)

Nice savings! :thumbsup2

Happy weekend everyone! :goodvibes
 
I saved 9.00 the other day with coupons (including a full size bottle of Pantene shampoo) , not including my customer appreciation card:cool1:


The cashier and i were talking about coupons: she said the previous few days before a lady had come in there trying to get 25 tubes of toothpaste with all these coupons, except our store has coupon limits and the lady said, well they do it on Extreme Couponing:confused3:rotfl: And even on the show, they will say that different stores have different policies.
 
T_Daniels - Received the envelope yesterday. Thank you!

Welcome, again, sorry about last week! But looks like I have a good sized one this week, so you should be good this week. :)

I was noticing that some of the coupons now will have wording like " one per transacting". I used to see that on big coupons, but now I'm seeing it on things like .50 off. :mad:

I know, I think the show may have ruined it for the real couponers.
 
Yesterday, I received my second envie of the week from Shortstuff7429!! I enjoyed a quiet morning going through all my coupons.

But then I learned a lesson. I went to Big Lots for some bathroom decor supplies, and just scanned the grocery aisle. I picked up a few things that I knew I had coupons for, only to find out that they do not accept manufactioners coupons! Kinda bummed me out, so I put some stuff back. Just an FYI for Big Lots - even though my decor stuff is super cute! :thumbsup2
 
Hey folks, expired and soon to expire coupons have to be removed from the envie(s) that you mail on Monday. Not just this week but every week, okay?

We all have to do our part to remove those expired and soon to expire coupons and not forward them to the next person.

It really doesn't make sense to send them. It costs you more postage and frustrates the person who receives them. She/he can't use them and can't forward them to their train buddy either. It's a lose/lose situation so don't do it.

Usually when this happens, I get contacted by your train buddy. Then I send a PM to you reminding you to do a better job of removing them. Then I get a PM back saying, "OK, I'll do better but that's the way they're sent to me." :headache: :headache: :headache: So please check your coupons carefully and don't forward expired and soon to expire coupons. Sorry, but I will take people out of the train route who aren't checking their expirations.

Eyor44 - sorry to hear you are not feeling well. It's always hard for "momma" to be sick. I hope that you start feeling better soon.

Not sure why the envies arrived days apart considering they were mailed at the same time from the same post office - but glad to know you received them. I tried to put all the August coupons in one envie and everything else in the second envie - let me know if that helped in sorting the coupons - if so I will try to do it again.
 
totally has nothing to do with manufacturers coupons, but I had $30 in Kohls cash and I got my son a $60 backpack that was 50%0ff at $30 so yeah you guessed it I got it for free, just had to pay the remainder on the tax...a whopping $1.18...But rest assured if I dint that much in Kohls cash, a backpack like that I would NOT be even considering....!

Awesome deal on that backpack! I love Kohls and just received a 30% off card so I'm planning on taking advantage of some summer clearance items as well as back to school clothes. :dance3: I feel robbed if I get a 15% or 20% off card. :rotfl2:

Thank you so much! Everyone let me sleep in (because they are still sleeping, LOL) but then the cat finally couldn't wait anymore and woke me up to give her some wet food for breakfast...LOL. Now I am having a cup of coffee and am going to get the paper to clip those coupons!!!
I am really enjoying being on the train and think this is such a GREAT idea! I love sending off the coupons I don't need and LOVE getting some back in the mail! Not only do I get different coupons, but I also end up getting coupons I am hoping for! It's so much fun, and of course it's always fun to get something in the mail that isn't a bill! Ha ha!
Thanks so much and enjoy your Sunday :-)

When I wrote that posting last night, I meant to mention that I know this doesn't pertain to the majority of our train riders, but it does pertain to way too many of us so I would like everyone to know the consequences of mailing a lot of expired/soon to expire coupons. If you like being on the train, please check those expirations carefully from now on so we can keep you in the train route. :thumbsup2 If you're receiving a lot of expired coupons in your envies and it wasn't just a one time slip up, please let me know. :thumbsup2

Sometimes I feel left out here in California, less coupons, no stores double. But there was a pediasure coupon, which my DD1 loves so I shouldn't complain. I have loved being a part of this train since it helps me get some coupons that otherwise don't make it west. :thumbsup2 Thanks!
