Coupon Swap - Mark your Calendars!

A common question that comes up at my Grocery Savings Workshop is "what should I do with the coupons I don't use?" Us die-hard couponers hate to see any coupon go to waste. So, I have decided to try a COUPON SWAP! That's right, I am going to set up a bonafide coupon trade night. Whoo hoo! I think it will be lots of fun to fellowship together, do some deal talk, and swap coupons. Interested? Details are below.

When: Friday, October 16th @ 6:30-7:30 p.m.

Where: TDF, Room A101 (Directions here)

Who: Anyone, even if you are new to couponing.

What: Bring any coupons that you won't use. The expiration date needs to be 10/31/09 or after.

Details: Coupons should be sorted into the following categories:

Baby

Baking

Beverages

Breads

Breakfast

Canned Goods

Cleaners

Dairy

Desserts

Frozen Foods

OTC Medicines

Meat

Miscellaneous

Pet

Rice/Pasta

Sauces/Spreads

Toiletries

Got expired coupons? Bring those too! I will be donating these to military families overseas who are allowed to use them at their commissary up to six months past the expiration date. These coupons should also be sorted by category with an expiration date of 09/30/09 or after.

Foot Pantry Donations? I will also be sharing info regarding how to find great deals and purchase items for food pantry donations for little to no cost.

I will have a table set up for each of the above categories. You can drop and shop as you please. There are no minimum coupon requirements to come and participate. All newbies are strongly encouraged to join us! I also would like to encourage new mommies to attend as I feel certain there will be lots of baby coupons.

I am excited about this new event and I hope to see you there!
