Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I belong to a couple of " coupon trains " . Some online and some local. It is basically a group of people who share coupons with one another. We start an envelope going with our excess coupons and mail it to the person at the top of the list. They in turn take what they need and put more into the envelope and mail to the next on the list and so on. It helps to cut down on the stuff going into the landfills and sometimes you get some good coupons in there that you can really use. Some of our local stores and chains take expired coupons, but once those have gone through our train once or twice one of the members collects them and sends them to military families who can use them. It's a pretty nice concept and in the meantime we are recycling in our own way.
