Coupon Train....join now!

[Kimberly61]

ok not sure this is where I post this so if it isnt I'm sorry.
I hope I am not stepping on someone else's toes by starting this but I seen a lot of us want to be in the coupon train so I figured no one has started it yet so I would....this is my first time starting one so if you want to add something to what I listed below please do.;)

Coupon Train
a coupon train is a fun, easy way to swap coupons.

Coupons that can be included are: pet, health and beauty, baby, food, cleaning, free's, store coupons, printed, expired coupons(as some may be able to use these) and resturant coupons.(pretty much anything you might think another person could use)

Once you recieve the train of coupons take what you need out and add to it from your own that you dont need or want.

There will be a list of names and address's included in the pack of coupons, please send on to the next person on the list.

Please send out the coupon pack as soon as possible( I say within 3 days after recieving it), depending on how many are on the list it may take some time for the train to reach you again so after 2 weeks(that way I can get 2 weeks worth of coupons together again) of sending out the first train I will start a second train going as well so we can keep it going.

Anyone wanting to join the coupon train please pm me your info so that I can make up the list

The first train will leave out on Monday March 31 so please join before March 27 so that I can get the list together:dance

Any questions please ask, suggestions are always welcomed;)

[ntgsmommy]

How much would postage be on the envelope? If not much, I would like to join...I was just talking about this to my sis-in-law the other day...

[Kimberly61]

It depends on how many coupons come in the pack and how many you put in, when I was in a local coupon train in my area the most I ever paid to send out the pack was a little under $5.00, I had to put them in a brown 5x7 envie.....I had always gotten my money's worth out of the coupons so it was worth it to me

[ntgsmommy]

I think there already is a coupon train going...:confused: :questionmark:

[littlered1]

I did make a post about this the other day, but I really don't know how to go about getting everyone's address to get this started.
I definetly want to be in this. I have my envelope stuffed full of coupons and ready to go. If you want to do two trains at once, I would be willing to start one for you. Thanks!!!!

[Kimberly61]

We have 5 that joined so far..............I forgot to add that if you join and when you get the first envie of coupons and then decide that it isnt worth it to you then you are more then welcome to drop out of it after you send it on, just let us know before the next one goes out if at all possible

[ntgsmommy]

It's never made it here..I just posted a pm to someone wondering if they had seen it...I have no idea?!:confused: Some of the coupons are now expired since I have been waiting on the train....do you still want me to include those?

[BBELEAZAHR]

I say we take out the expired ones most places dont take them that will cut back the shipping cost. shall we vote? Alot of mine have expired too.

[Kimberly61]

sounds good to me, I never keep my expired anyways.

[Kimberly61]

I'm sorry no one has gotten the train yet...you should have gotten it by now from littlered1...I emailed her to see if she had gotten them and sent them out and I havent heard back from her yet....she is the one who is sending out the second train but if I dont hear back from her soon I will send it out and I have a different way of doing it this time....will keep you guys posted!

[Kimberly61]

yes thats all we do..................friend6040 your still on the list from the last train that went out so you dont need to sign back up.........I still dont know what happened with the first one as littlered1 hasnt gotten back with me....3 packets of coupons are going out on Monday to 3 different people all going in different directions....I might be able to get 4 out depending on what coupons come in tomorrows paper but for now I have three ready to go.

If you have a ton of coupons that you want to send out before you recieve the train pm me and let me know and I can give you a name and address to send them to along with a list of names to add to it so the next person can keep it going. So far we have 10-11 people so the train may take some time getting to you, please remember once you get the packet send it back out with in 3 days or sooner so that it can get to others before coupons expire.

[BBELEAZAHR]

[ntgsmommy]

ok,,thanks for clearing that up! :dancing: I am thinking it will work smoother once it gets going...

[ntgsmommy]

I got my first pack of coupons today.:five: ...and I sent my pack off too..however, I folled the list that was included in the coupons was that right? If so, I sent it to BBELEAZAHR...my total for sending all those coupons was $2.49 (in case some of you were wondering how much it would cost) so it wasn't bad, i think we only could use about 10 of them though...mayb next time around...looks like those baby coupons are on the way to ya!:happy

[BBELEAZAHR]

OMG I cant wait....Did you put some chocolate in it for me?LOL My stupid USPS scale broke and our post office was closed so I had to guess with the postage on mine. I think I put around 5.50 on it. It was a big envelope though. Maggie, you should get it anyday now.

[ang in NC]

thanks for the update

[Kimberly61]

I sent my pack out to ntgsmommy today...it cost me less then a $1.50...and here I thought I had a lot of coupons lol but nothing I guess compared to bbeleazahr's!

[ntgsmommy]

No, Sorry, no chocolate,,,,,sorry.....I figured it might melt..no, really, I never thought of it....

[BBELEAZAHR]

I sent my pack out to ntgsmommy today...it cost me less then a $1.50...and here I thought I had a lot of coupons lol but nothing I guess compared to bbeleazahr's!


Im sure my pack didnt actually cost 5.50, but I just wasn't sure and didnt want it to come back so I put lotsa stamps on it. My scale said it weight 11lb's LOL and thats when I decided to take it to the post office which I forgot is always closed on Mondays over here, so It I just guessed. I did have lots of coupons in it. I dont have many to put in the one coming my way though, since I put them all in the one I sent out. Are we following the list in the envelope of the post you made Kimberly? Sounds like they are both different. shouldnt the one coming my way have gone to Judy?

[ntgsmommy]

well, I just followed the list in the envelope, I thought that is what we were supossed to do...it's because we weren't getting them the others offered to send out early, so now the list is all messed up..

04-13-2008 02:30 PM
Kimberly61 Judy has offered to send out a pack early so she will be sending her pack out to Angie, Angie will send her pack out to Dana, she will send it out to Robin and Chris, then it will go to Rachel, Rachel will then send it out from her list.

and from that..........remember when we switched places so I could send you the baby coupons?

[Kimberly61]

this is the list I am going with...what other list are you talking about?

Rachel(BBELEAZAHR) will be sending her pack to:
Maggie(dixiechicken) then Maggie will send it on to:
Stormy(myspirit) then Stormy(love the name btw) will send it on to:
Patty(Krystallizedflame) then Patty will send it on to:
Dorinda(tiahana) then Dorinda will send it on to:
Kim(Kimberly61) then we switch list.

I(Kim) will send my pack out to:
Robin and Chris(ntgsmommy) then they will send it on to:
Judy(friend6040) Judy will then send it on to:
Angie(ang in nc) Angie will send it on to:
Dana(4Diego) and Dana will send it on to:
Rachel(BBELEAZAHR), then we switch list and send out again

[BBELEAZAHR]

Oh ya we switched in the first train

So kimberly sends it to
robin
Rachel
Judy
Angie
Dana
and then where does Dana send it?

Just thought I would point out how UNconfusing my group is LOL :)

[ntgsmommy]

robin

Judy
Angie

Yes..this one...and there is a white sheet of paper in the envelope with names and address to send it on to the next person.

[Kimberly61]

ntgsmommy you got the original coupon train that I sent out last month that went to littlered1....I emailed her and asked if she got it and if she sent it out but she hasnt yet gotten back with me, so yes the names on that list you got in that pack are totally different then the ones that are now in effect.

Dana is suppose to send it out to you bbeleazahr, it isnt in the list up above but it is in the list I sent out with the coupon packet....in our pm's I thought we agreed once you and I recieve the coupon pack back that we would switch up the list, you get mine and I get yours?

as for Judy's list that is a one time deal thing because she asked to send out early because she had a ton of coupons that she wanted to get out there, the last person on her list is bbeleazahr, so once you get that one you should get the other one as well around the same time I am thinking so once you do let me know and you can send it on to my list of people and once I get the pack you sent out I will let you know and send it on to your list of people.......you all confuse me lol:stupido2: ...it works in my head I swear :rofl:

as for the original one ntgsmommy got I think it ends up back to me, but it goes around to the original sign up'ers first so it will take more time to go around.........we split the list so it would go around faster.

I'm sorry you didnt get much out of the pack of coupons you got ntgsmommy, hopefully the next one you get you will get more......I'm curious to know what kinds of coupons everyone is interested in getting, I always get double coupons on Sunday so I dont mind sending ones I might use but have double of if I know someone could use them.

Okay I get it, so the missing original train reappeared? So to sum it up there are 4 trains out there
mine
yours(you had two)
Judy
So we should just follow what the list says in the envelope says. I forgot about the original one, thats were I got confused, but dont worry I get it now. :happy

[BBELEAZAHR]

I know, I was just trying to confuse you a little more(hehehehe)Guess you are to smart for me!!!!!

[4diego]

I use pet food, people food, cleaning, beauty coupons, etc... I have LOTS of coupons that I don't use because even my kids grab coupons when they see them. I get double coupons on Sundays too because I steal my moms coupons. Plus coupons that come with samples but then I can't find that brand in any of the stores where I shop. And all you new moms - I have a lot of baby coupons I will be putting in.

So YOU are the one stealing my coupons!:busted

[myspirit]

Our paper only comes out on Wed. each week and NO coupons ever. None of the bigger papers that I buy from the boxes on Sunday ever have them either. They are suppose to, but they don't. I guess someone is keeping them.

you live to far away for me to steal yours LOL:creep:

[BBELEAZAHR]

I got the original train today, so it will go out tomorrow morning to Judy....
Wow I found lots of great coupons and they were so nice and organized(sorry Maggie I just threw yours in a big envelope I will do better next time) This was lots of fun there are so many different coupons that we dont get in our paper over here. Oh and thanks for all the baby ones I can use most of those....

you got it already? WOW!! that was quick! Glad you could use some of them!

[BBELEAZAHR]

:bump

[ntgsmommy]

I got the second train yesterday, and sent it out to Judy today....

[BBELEAZAHR]

Did anyone get there coupons yet? I sent out two so far on to Maggie about a week ago and one to Judy last week. Just checking:)

[Kimberly61]

Maggie got hers and sent it out, forgot to mention that, she pm'ed and told me......I havent recieved any as of yet.

[ang in NC]

I haven't gotten any yet

[dixiechicken]

Yep, I sent my end out. Whoever sent it to me (BBELEAZAHR) you paid way too much for postage. It would have cost you about 1/2 that. I took about 10 coupons and added at least the same and I paid $2.84 so I know.....

Thought I would let you know. I can't wait for the next installment. AND, I reused your envelope and shoved all the coupons back in there. Don't feel back.

[ntgsmommy]

dixie....were you posting a quote or is that Rachel's name? :confused: ((BBELEAZAHR) I know there isn't two of you with the same name?
lol---all I know is I sent mine to Judy in Ill.....but I always get mine weighed at the post office so I don't use all my stamps and to make sure I get the correct postage on it....I need to get a scale---:argh: :marchmellow:

[myspirit]

The train pulled into my home today. Found about 12 coupons I could use. I will spend tomorrow trying to flatten and straighten them out. So the train will leave here on Wednesday. I'm gonna include some samples that I won't use.

[BBELEAZAHR]

Our post office is only open to the public a couple days a week and my scale was broke so I just had to guess. I didnt realize I was the far off LOL

[lacretiac]

I want to get in on the train.

[Kimberly61]

pm me your mailing info and you will be added to the next train that goes out

[ntgsmommy]

Where is the train anyway? I have one envelope ready to go out, but after this one, I think I will take my name off...I'm not using hardly any of the coupons and spending the money on postage, plus it's taking way to long to get back around to me.....:slug: so, thanks for the opportunity to get in on it, but I'm backing out...:creep: :shakehands:

I too am backing out. The coupons that I get are all for household items, vitamins etc. I was hoping for more food coupons. I spend at least $2 on postage too. Thanks for having me :)
