new coupon train

[mrsbornkuntry]

Hi, I'm new on here and we're planning a WDW trip at the end of Dec. I've been saving up and with 4 DS and 1 DD I'm an avid coupon clipper! I was wondering if there is a coupon train that isn't full for the Southeast area (around NC) that I could get in on, or if anyone would be interested in one. I saw another post about some other coupon trains, but they looked like they were full.

I have gotten a wealth of information from these boards! Thank-you all! I am so excited for this trip, it's my kids' Christmas present this year and they can't wait.

If you are interested in organizing a coupon train, I'd be very happy to join...or if you don't want to organize it, I could. Just let me know...I'm in NW Florida.

Happy Clipping!

Trola2,
I don't really know anything about organizing one, but I was willing to figure it out if anyone was interested so since you're offering I'd like to take you up on it! Or work with you on it. Just let me know what you need. I think we need eight to ten people total, does that sound about right?

I'd like to be included in a new train. Just pm me to get into contact and I will give you my address.

Do you have to be in the south for this or can anyone join? If it's open to anyone, I'd like to join.

I don't think it will matter where you live as long as you don't mind waiting a couple extra days for the coupons to reach you in the mail. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

It looks like we have four people (including me) interested right now. I would like to wait until Aug 1st. to see if we can get 4 or 5 more people before we start, then I will PM everyone for info. That sound okay?

 

[crl]

Sounds good. Let me know when you're ready for my info.

 

[trola2]

Ok...I'll put it together, then!!

I will start it out and there will be an instruction letter in the envelope.

So, if you are interested, PM me with your snail info. Anywhere in the US is fine and I'll arrange the train to sort of run geographically so it won't be going from end to end between stops. (Did that make sense??)

I will PM those of you who have already posted but anyone can PM me.

Happy Clipping!

I'm interested, but what is a coupon train?

 

[Maude4Disney]

I'd like to know this too. thanks

 

[mrsbornkuntry]

I'll try to explain this. A coupon train is basically where you send out what coupons you have, then the next person takes out the ones they need and puts in the ones they have that they don't need and sends it out to the next person in the train, then the next person does the same thing and so on. If everyone is good at keeping it going it's a great way to get coupons.

Since I'm new at all of this Trola2 will be the contact person (thank-you) for snail mail addresses and she will be sending out info. as she posted earlier.

My sister also wants to join our coupon train, although she doesn't visit the boards, it looks like we're going to have enough people soon.

I just PM'd you Trola2. I would love to be in this train. It looks like maybe you won't have to wait until Aug. 1, afterall.

I would love to join in on the coupon train. Please PM me and I will send you my address.

Thanks

 

[momtoce&j]

trola2,
just PM'd you. I would love to board this train if no one objects to sending it north for a bit.

 

[trola2]

Everyone check your PM's. I have PM'ed everyone who has PM'ed me. (I think!) It looks like we have 2 trains to send out. I'll telleveyrone for sure very soon.

Berkshires96- I can't PM you. Maybe someone else can help with this but I think maybe you have PM's switched off in your user settings?? I'm not that familiar with the technical stuff, but I'm sure someone else can jump in. I just see that there is no PM button under your name.

sconnell, we still have room for you. Let me know if you are interested.

Have a great evening everyone!

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, I used to be a coupon queen and did not have to pay for my groceries for several years.

We used to have conventions where we would swap refund forms and coupons and have a most delightful time.

Then one day along came the evil code form junkies who ruined it all. (sigh)

I miss the old friends even more than the free food.

Just the two of us now and since I have lost about 90 pounds there are not many coupons I can use anymore or I would ask for a seat on the train.

Good luck and have fun!

I've never done this, but I would like to join in! I PM'd trola2. Thanks! Let me know if there's room for me.

 

[trola2]

ADisneygirl & toystoryduo I have PM'ed you.

Slightlygoofy- sounds like you really had fun with couponing when you did it!! Wow!! FREE groceries! I'd love to hear your tips if you are up to sharing!

Thanks and have a happy day everyone!

If there is any room left, I would love to join the coupon train. I thought I was on the original train #3, but it appears to have fizzled out before it ever got to me. I have GOBS of coupons!

Just PM me.
