    I learned what a Catalina is. I would see it mentioned sometimes and not really know what was being talked about

    This week I learned a lot about coupon trains. I had heard of them every once in a while. Now I really know how they work.

    Another interesting point I learned this week is the coupon train-I had no idea those existed. I am seriously considering looking into joining one in the near future!
