Tuesday Night Coupon Soiree!!

2009 August 29

couponing soiree

Mark your calendars ladies!!  This Tuesday night, from 7-9 P.M.(at the Cleveland Public Library), we local couponing nerds will be gathering once again.  A couple weeks ago we met for the first time, and as you can see from the picture above- it was love at first sight.  There were brownies and binders aplenty, we traded coupons, told our stories, and shared our experiences.  Here is fellow-cheapskate (Please, Please forgive me, I waited too long to post this and have forgotten your name!!) showing us her organization system.  That is my kind of tackle box!!

If you do come to trade, here is how our friend Angela advised we do it- and it seems to work great!  Put all the coupons you don’t want/need into an envelope with your name on it.  If you have tons, and the time, you might want to make a couple of envelopes (Household, Food, Baby- whatever).  We will then pass these around the table, taking what we need from other envelopes, and eventually getting ours back at the end to take home again.  Easy-Peasy!  I ended up with about $15 in Huggies coupons last time that I REALLY NEEDED, and I gave away several Pet Food ones.

Again, I’ll be there from 7-9 if you want to come.  Feel free to bring a friend who is interested; drop-by or stay the whole time; come to trade; or just to bask in the glow of thriftiness!  If you’ve been looking for a support group- you’ve found it.

P.S> Would anyone like to bring a snack this time?  If not, I’m sure I’ve got some stockpiled yogurt and waffles that I can spare….. :)

    I have some publix coupon books for door prizes. I traded the left over coupons from our last swap that was left over!
