upcoming coupon train?

I have had a few more requests for another train.

Currently, we have an active train about halfway done, chugging it's way across the country (It's on it's way to Indiana right now!) 

If you are interested in the next train, drop me an email or a message and let me know.  If you are new to trains, here is how it works:

-I take all of the names and put them on a list that gets put into an envelope with the coupons.  I mail it to person A, who takes what they want out, they add their unwanted coupons, then they mail the envelope to the next person on the list, and so on and so on.  
-These trains are HUGE and long, there are usually 6-12 people participating, so it may take 2-3 weeks for you to get the envelope.
-There are usually between 50-100 coupons in the envelope, so postage will be $1.50-$2.00.  The envelope may wear out, so you may have to replace it.  I will try to include a couple extras in the original package, but by the time it gets to you, they may have been used.
-There will be duplicate coupons in the envelope.  If you can use one, take one, but please don't take all of one kind.
-Coupon trains are like the take a penny, leave a penny tray at 7-11.  If you take 3 coupons out, you need to put 3 coupons in. You can always add extras if you want.
-When you get the envelope, I ask that you remove the expired coupons before you pass it on to the next person.  Don't include expired coupons with the coupons that you put into the envelope. The expireds you remove aren't part of the number of coupons that you add.  Think of it as "cleaning house". 
-Don't include junky coupons.  No one wants joint juice, fish oil caplets, Depends or denture adhesive coupons. Really.
-Please don't keep the envelope longer than 4 days.  There are others waiting. 
-If you don't find anything you want in the envelope (it's pretty slim chances), pass it on to the next person on the list.  Email me and let me know. I will try and find you some coupons that you can use. (I do get 4 sets of inserts per week!)


So, if you are interested, please let me know.  I am collecting names and addresses now, and I am filling up an envelope with coupons!
