ALL ABOARD! We are starting a coupon train, which is when 5-10 people clip coupons and share the ones they don’t want by mailing them to the next person in the “train.” Get on if you want to save!
So far Veronica, Katie, and Carrie have expressed interest. We need 1-2 more people to start this off. Email me your name and region if you are interested.
Ideally, the members of each train will live in the same geographic region so the coupon envelopes don’t take too long to arrive. Once we get a few more members I’ll email the group to start things off.
The train’s moderator will have everyone’s address and email. But the members only have the address and email of the person ahead of them (to mail onto) and behind them (in case they go on vacation). Each time you receive a coupon envelope, take out the coupons you want to use and discard the ones that have expired. Add new coupons that you’ve clipped and mail onto the next person. The turnaround time is set by the group, but usually 4-7 days.

Why don’t you offer Bar. Babe coupon books, with built-in organizers, like pet food, dairy, meat? Try to get someone llike Vons to sponsor them, so your name and theirs are on it. I’m sure Vons would love to have people shopping at Ralphs using a Bargain Babe/Vons coupon carrier.
