Any interest in a coupon chain?

I was looking through my coupon organizer and realized that I have a bunch of good coupons I will never use before they expire.  Maybe I can share them.

If you're unfamiliar, here's how it works...

You cut out all the coupons from your Sunday paper, keeping the ones you want.   The rest, you mail to the next person in the coupon chain.  That person goes through the coupons they recieved in the mail, keeps the ones they want, throw out any that have expired, and add their coupons from the paper and mail it to the next person in the chain.  You do this once a week, ideally by Wednesday. 

If it's a big enough chain, it can cost a few dollars to mail the coupons to the next person. 

If there's enough interest, I will set it up.  I'll see how many replies are generated before I post my email.

Re: Any interest in a coupon chain?

  • I may be interested.

    I just need to clarify how this works, correct me if I'm wrong... example:

    Sunday I clip my coupons, sending the leftovers to the next person on the chain by Wednesday of that week.  Then the person I send mine too goes through them taking the ones she wants, adds more coupons the next Sunday and gets them in the mail to the next person by Wednesday of that week and so on and so on. 

    So depending on the # of people in the chain, it may take a few weeks until you get another package of coupons, right?  Not that that's bad, I just want to be sure I'm understanding this right :)

  • You get and send new coupons every week.  Say I send to you, you send to "Sally," and " Sally" sends to me.  every Wednesday I would send you my new coupons, plus any I got from Sally and didn't want.  Does that clarify?
  • I'm pretty sure I got it now, lol.  Sorry...can you tell I get confused easily???

    Hopefully we get more interest.  I *heart* coupons!

  • I clip coupons every week and would be interested in doing this. One question though, won't we all just be sending each other the same coupons if we all live close to each other? or do they vary that much from paper to paper?

    could be, but some people are *reallyl* coupon people and buy several papers.  I was also going to ask what paper(s) people subscribe to as to spread it out.  And I have many baby/kid related coupons I received in the mail that I don't use.

    I was in one before with 5 people and was suprised by the variety of coupons that came my way. 

  • I'm in Schuylkill County, so definitely not in the same area as you all.
  • I get the Lancaster newspaper. I often buy things I don't need "because I have a coupon" (I feel like a little old lady sometimes!) and I think this would really help me with that because I would feel like I was passing it on to someone who would use it and actually likes those razors or whatnot. Keep me in mind if you start the chain. Smile

  • I would also like to do this if there is enough interest.  I live in Fulton County and get the Public Opinion newspaper. Let me know if there is interest.
