I am interested too! magickallight 3-13-2006, 10:53 AM Ashley hasn't been around for a few days... so, if she is heading it up - I don't think it has started. jgunter83 3-14-2006, 12:25 AM im' most definately interested- i always clip coupons, but dont use a lot of them.. trob67 3-15-2006, 2:23 PM ok I have a wad to send, lets get this train moving! haha kjunea 3-15-2006, 2:34 PM I'm in! I clip all the time! June labgeek 3-15-2006, 4:30 PM What happened to the last one?? It get derailed? RossMAN 3-15-2006, 4:35 PM What happened to the last one?? It get derailed? Which one? There have been a few, got a link? Ripn 3-15-2006, 5:31 PM How does it work? take what you want out, add what you clipped that you don't use ...then mail to next in line with a flat rate envelope? Am I close? jjrobin 3-16-2006, 10:56 AM I am in too. Who do I need to talk to? labgeek 3-16-2006, 11:07 AM Which one? There have been a few, got a link? I don't remember... I just remember a post and replying to it and that was the last I heard of it. kansascityshopper 3-16-2006, 12:41 PM I'm not sure what a flat rate envelope is? Don't we just use a regular one? I've never done this before...is the idea to compile a list of names/addresses and send it to the first one, then they check for expired ones, add more and take what they want and then mail it to the 2nd etc?? fairydustcrissy 3-16-2006, 1:09 PM There are several ways this can be done. 1. One person sends out one envelope, and it makes its rounds. When you get it, take what you need, but add back the same #. Takes a while for people on the end of the train tho. 2. With this many people, probably better if EVERYONE sends out an envelope to whoever the next person is. That way, every few days, you get a new one. If Ashley doesnt reply to this soon, I would be happy to start it. lennon2004 3-16-2006, 2:26 PM This is something I'd be interested in too, possibly. :) If Ashley doesnt reply to this soon, I would be happy to start it. Maybe send her a PM and see if she's still interested? threelittlecupcakes 3-16-2006, 8:45 PM Count me in too bodeca29 3-17-2006, 7:06 PM If ya'll are doing this I have plenty I don't use so count me in!! tinydancer34 3-18-2006, 8:03 AM Count me in also! fairydustcrissy 3-18-2006, 9:03 AM I sent Ashley a PM yestrday, I'll give her time to respond............

You ROCK! Rockfordmom 3-27-2006, 5:12 PM Ashley, so is it on it's way to me? What exactly do I do with it when I get it? I have never done this before & don't want to mess anything up. Deals4Me 3-27-2006, 6:02 PM Joyce~ They're will be a small set of directions inside.... Basically you take the coupons you want and replace them with unexpireds that you dont want. If theres any close to the expiration date, remove them. (Jewel takes them Joyce if you have on nearby...) If you dont wanna be on the next round at any time you get the train, cross your name off. thats the jist of it. Rockfordmom 3-27-2006, 6:19 PM Thank you for all of your help and for coordinating all of this! Deals4Me 3-27-2006, 6:23 PM RULES OF THE TRAIN You will ALWAYS send to the person below you on the list. Included with EACH mailing. Please affix enough postage, its bad ettiquete to make the person next pay... If theres 30 coupons in the envelope, the current postage rate is sufficent. Take whatever coupons you would like, but replace them. Do not put expired in the envelope, please. If there are coupons close to the exp. date when you recieve it, please pull them and replace them. If you do not wish to be on the train the next round, CROSS your name off or PM me, Deals4me, and let me know and I will cross you off when it reaches me. Valerie will be sending off the second envelope.... So Canonsburg, PA on will get the second one so they're will be 2 at once.... When you recieve the envie post, that you did. Post should look like, "T2R1 recieved, mailing it on to .... TRAIN 1 WILL be in this order: Ashley Joyce Patty Michelle T. Rebekah Michelle P. Kim Beth Valerie Priyanka Sandie Lena Vicke K Mitchell Kelly WHEN you recieve the train, the paper inside will have TRAIN 1 written on it. Also label the bottom LEFT corner of the envelope with T1R1 for the train 1 round 1 so you know what to post that you recieved, since I will be starting round 2, the envie comes from me to joyce with that info on it. TRAIN 2 WILL be in this Order: Valerie Priyanka Sandie Lena Vicke K Mitchell Kelly Ashley Joyce Patty Michelle T. Rebekah Michelle P. Kim Beth Valerie, PLEASE label the envie T2R? (insert round number each time it comes back to you... obviously the first time it is T2R1) Deals4Me 3-27-2006, 6:26 PM One more thing, In my mailing the paper does accomadate for a SMALL wishlist, a few things that you might specifically be looking for. The person or two above you can then try to accomadate that.... OR if someone wants to do a RAOK. Please do not skip ANYONE on the list unless they're name is crossed out. They list is in a circle formation.... to skip someone would send the timeline out of scheme. Its designed for quickest shipping times...(thanks to microsoft map and streets!) stiltman 3-28-2006, 2:20 AM i pmed you deals4me. wanted to know if the train left without me. Deals4Me 3-28-2006, 2:20 PM Next round hun.... I think they're will be a few more additions which might call for a third train. tinydancer34 3-29-2006, 8:15 AM Train 2 Round 1 is on its way. mmm40 3-29-2006, 9:08 AM OR if someone wants to do a RAOK. What does this Acronym stand for? Please PM me if there is anything I can do to help. Rockfordmom 3-29-2006, 10:58 AM OR if someone wants to do a RAOK. What does this Acronym stand for? Please PM me if there is anything I can do to help. I think it means Random Act Of Kindness (just send someone the coupons they're looking for). There's another one that I cannot figure out but I can't remember what it is right now... edit - what does ROTFLMAO mean? Deals4Me 3-29-2006, 12:19 PM ROTFLMAO Rolling on the floor laughing my arse off. Rockfordmom 3-29-2006, 3:39 PM thanks, the other one I can't figure out is YMMV biomajor 3-29-2006, 6:42 PM thanks, the other one I can't figure out is YMMV Your mileage may vary Deals4Me 3-30-2006, 10:43 AM your mileage may vary is kinda vague when you say that to someone who doesnt know what ymmv means it does mean your mileage may vary but what the underlaying meaning is that your deal may vary from my deal. You may or may not get it, it might not be the same price. trob67 3-30-2006, 9:10 PM thanks, the other one I can't figure out is YMMV generally if you cant figure out what an acronym means just type the letters into your search engine....preferrably google and the answer usually comes up. This is the way I have learned many of them. Theresa Beau Flecks 3-31-2006, 12:59 PM I'm interested in your coupon train. I'm a stay at home dad and look for the best deals I can find. Rockfordmom 4-1-2006, 8:20 PM I haven't gotten the envelope of coupons yet? Should I have gotten them by now? aintstupid 4-2-2006, 2:47 PM Who do we pm our address to? Thanks! Deals4Me 4-3-2006, 3:15 PM Me...PM addresses to me. noehlp 4-3-2006, 6:09 PM How is the train coming along? Should I open my windows to listen for the whistle yet? Priysha 4-3-2006, 8:30 PM Received TR2R1 - is on its way to Sandie, FL Steakgoddess 4-3-2006, 9:05 PM Received TR2R1 - is on its way to Sandie, FL That should be Sandie, MD Priysha 4-3-2006, 9:49 PM Yes, sorry, to Sandie in MD. threelittlecupcakes 4-6-2006, 2:13 PM I haven't gotten the envelope of coupons yet? Should I have gotten them by now? Seen anything yet? Steakgoddess 4-6-2006, 3:05 PM I got TR2R1 today in the mail. Going out to Lena, FL in the morning noehlp 4-6-2006, 3:05 PM Where is the Train 1 right now? Anyone know? Rockfordmom 4-6-2006, 8:54 PM Where is the Train 1 right now? Anyone know? I just got it today and it will go out to you in tomorrows mail. noehlp 4-7-2006, 1:19 AM I just got it today and it will go out to you in tomorrows mail. GREAT! :bounce_fl Coupons stacked and ready! Rockfordmom 4-7-2006, 1:30 PM I took it to the post office this morning so it's on its way Patty. I forgot to write Round 1, Train 1 on the envelope though, I remembered as I was driving back home. Ashley I photocopied the list with everybodys name on it on regular paper because it was a little lighter so I could add a few coupons. I weighed it to make sure that it didn't need additional postage. I added and took out coupons until it was just right. If you want the original list back I still have it. Hope I didn't mess anything up. Rockfordmom 4-7-2006, 7:56 PM What does everybody think about putting more postage on the envelopes so that we could put more coupons in the envelopes? I put as many as I could in the envelope today and was at the post office taking out coupons and adding them one at a time so the weight wasn't over the limit. But I have at least as many coupons as I put in the envelope still left here that I could have added. Just an idea for everybody to consider when they get the envelope. Deals4Me 4-10-2006, 4:35 PM Adding coupons for more postage should be up to the next person. If they want to do it...woo for them. But its gonna be up to the next person if they want to carry it on. I cant get to the p.o often...its to far (damnus country pokeys) Deals4Me 4-10-2006, 4:36 PM p.s. GENERAL rule of Thumb. 30 coupons will equal the current postage rate. Deals4Me 4-10-2006, 4:36 PM WHERE IS TRAIN 2? WHERE IS TRAIN 1? noehlp 4-10-2006, 6:58 PM Train 1 was received today in my mail. Will try to look through it tonight. I agree it would be nice to put more coupons in it. I have a bunch that I won't be using in my stash. lilquiet 4-11-2006, 11:28 AM I want in too! :) I have plenty of coupons to add. Its much better than just throwing them away :banana01: Deals4Me 4-12-2006, 10:38 AM If anyone wants to join, today is the last day. NO MORE entries... We have plenty for round 2 to make a 3 rd or 4th train... noehlp 4-13-2006, 4:39 PM Oh, I forgot to post, I mailed Train 1 yesterday. Deals4Me 4-14-2006, 10:19 AM Where is TRAIN 2? threelittlecupcakes 4-14-2006, 11:57 AM Train 1 Round 1 rec'd today. Question - I would like to know what the quideline is for removing those "close" to expiring? Is it within 1 or 2 days or within 1 week or what? I guess what I am thinking is April 22 or April 30 expirations suppose to keep going or not. I have a ton of April 30 ones I could add but is that too close to expiring? Probably a dumb question but I haven't done a train before and want to know what is the polite way of doing it. Deals4Me 4-14-2006, 4:33 PM I would say you can leave the coupons for the april 30 date, but not the 22 Deals4Me 4-14-2006, 4:34 PM Okay, I added the rest of the people that requested to be added. We nearly doubled the train... I need prolly 4 or 5 more people to start the next sets of trains. I am still waiting for people to send an addy (only 2) A LOT of you stayed in the same spots, but we have 3 more for texas and 3 in NJ area. threelittlecupcakes 4-14-2006, 5:07 PM T1R1 left for Interlochen today lazerith75 4-15-2006, 8:54 PM T2R1 was received in Casselberry, FL today.

Deals4Me 4-19-2006, 10:36 AM There is NEARLY 30 people now on the trains. PLEASE be diligent on writing which train you are coming from on the envie. It really sucks when you dont know which train it is... and then it gets lost.... Although if you tell me the first person on the list, I will then know and can tell you....

I replaced over 20 coupons that were set to expire either today or 4/30. I just couldn't leave them in there when the next person would only have a few days to use them. I'm not trying to whine or anything .. just wondering if we could have a set amount of time before the coupons expire that they're included. 2 weeks perhaps? I hope someone can decipher that sentence, it doesn't make much sense but I dont' know how else to say it! I know its sucks because it always seems there's a ton that expire at the same time. I just don't want this to turn in to a way to dump expired or soon to expire coupons ;) Again, I'm not complaining and don't want anyone to feel offended or hurt or attacked .. I just feel that having to replace over half the coupons in an envie when I only used 2 isn't quite fair. This has been really fun so far and I'm excited that there are so many people signed up on the trains! I get sad when I have to throw out coupons that I didn't use, even though when I clipped them I knew I wouldn't .. it's nice to be able to share with others!

The reason there were so many April 30th ones in there is I hated to throw them out myself and was hoping someone else could use them. If you want it to be set to 2 wks or more that is fine - I just didn't want to dump them out not knowing if someone else could use them. Don't worry - it would take a lot more than that to feel offended, hurt or attacked! malmadmama 4-23-2006, 6:26 PM The reason there were so many April 30th ones in there is I hated to throw them out myself and was hoping someone else could use them.

Thanks for not taking it personally! :tongue1: That's what I figured and I was going to send it along with the same reasoning but the envie was sitting on my desk haunting me! .. I debated on even mentioning it but I was on a Yahoo group before that got crazy .. it seemed that every post was about someone leaving in too many of one coupon, not enough of another and since I never complained I ended up with all the junky ones that I couldn't use. That's why I'm so excited about this one ;) There's no drama (at least on this thread!) and it's more about sharing stuff that we're not using rather than getting anything we can get our hands on! Maybe we can mark by our names on the list or something if we CAN use expireds .. I'm like you, I hate throwing out coupons .. it's like throwing out cash! trob67 4-24-2006, 3:11 PM T6R1 is on its way to Orange Park, FL Got it and it is headed to Eufaula AL. I put 2 37 cent stamps because I added about 30 coupons to the stack myself. I was dissapointed that there were so few coupons in there when it got here so maybe we do need to put more postage on. I should have run to the post office first and checked the weight because I know it didnt need 2 37's but I didnt have any smaller stamps here at the house. However out of the coupons I got, I was able to get about $2 worth of coupons to keep. Thanks coupon train! Cinnamonhuskies 4-25-2006, 2:45 PM T3R1 going to Coldwater tomorrow. Thanks! :) sneakers1234 4-25-2006, 3:53 PM I will start train 7 out of NJ as soon as I have 10 names. If you have questions, email Ashley.fitzpatrick@<hidden>. You can pm me your addy. Do the trains meet someplace to get regrouped? I would be willing to end a train and mix up the addresses for variety for all.

Unfortunately somebody is going to get stuck replacing a bunch of coupons at the end of every month, hopefully it won't be the same person over & over again. I don't know how we can avoid this... any suggestions? Rockfordmom 4-25-2006, 6:51 PM I will start train 7 out of NJ as soon as I have 10 names.

I would be willing to end a train and mix up the addresses for variety for all. :cheesy: I'm confused as to how all this works:cheesy: Are we all part of all of the trains or are there 7 separate trains with 10 different people on each one? If there are 7 different trains can we join more than one? If so I will also join train 7, I am already on train 1. sneakers1234 4-25-2006, 7:49 PM I think the trains stay separate-- or at least that's how others work. To work well, the 10 members on the train should have a wish list to help others see what they like, then you remove the coupons you want and try to put in some of equivalent value, not too many duplicates. You could be on more than one as long as you're careful about mailing to the right next person. Altho it seems silly to have these cross the country and spend more time in mail, i think that's the best way to see different coupons since newspapers seem to be owned by same co based on area. Maybe if you are on more than one we occassionally switch the lists? lilquiet 4-26-2006, 1:24 PM Where are the trains? Rockfordmom 4-26-2006, 3:20 PM Ashlee sent me an email that said that we are all part of the trains and that she will still coordinate it all but now I just saw another post about a train so I'm not sure what's going on and where are these trains that were already started and is it the same train or a new different one? Now I'm really confused! bayhaysay 4-26-2006, 3:29 PM Ashlee sent me an email that said that we are all part of the trains and that she will still coordinate it all but now I just saw another post about a train so I'm not sure what's going on and where are these trains that were already started and is it the same train or a new different one? Now I'm really confused! I don't know about the other trains but it sounds like the other post is a new different train. Ashley now has a new user title so I'm assuming she won't be coordinating them from here. KBsDarling 4-26-2006, 3:48 PM so.....do i send out the one that arrived today or what?
