What is a coupon train? How can I become apart of one? Can I join the Atlanta Couponers Group?
A coupon train is where the first person of the train
sends an envelope by mail full of clipped coupons to the next member. The next member will pull out the coupons
they want but replace the amount pulled out with new coupons. She/he will mail the coupons on to the next
person who is on the same train list and the process will be repeated until the
train reaches the first person who started the train.

The train sounds like it would be lots of fun and profitable for all involved. I'm definitely interested and live in Florida. I'm going to pop over to sign up today. Thanks.
So fun! I signed up! I think I've got it all to you Q. No party poopers allowed! 🙂
Rad – I want to do the April one for healthy foods!
Gotcha Alex! I will be in touch with you then. 🙂
This sounds like fun. I live in Texas so I hope I can still participate. I will send my info to you. And if I have not said it already thank you so much for the classes and all you do to help all of us. I have had so much fun and learned many new things about couponing and saving money. You rock!!!!!
You are welcome and thanks Kathy. 🙂
I participated in one of these one time, and before it got to me the link got broken, so I never got to have a turn at it. This sounds much more organized !
Sherri
Yes, it will be Sherri. I regret to see that the link was broken in a previous event you participated in somewhere else. Those kind of things will not be tolerated and if it happens, there will be a strategy to remove the person from the train and they will have to sit out for a very long while. I am serious about my couponers and want them to have nothing but the best experience and $ave. 🙂 Quida Don't forget to send your information. Tell your couponing friends. It is open to all States!
Cool! Will be sending you info! I hope it's still allowed if I live in Oregon state! I'm kinda far away for next day mail. Let me know. Thanks!
It is fine Terri and thanks for the comment. 🙂
