The Frugal Mania Coupon Train is On The Move!

by Michael Nolan

coupontrain.jpgI am happy to announce that the first Frugal Mania coupon train is not only rolling but it has reached and departed from the first stop. We have quite a few people signed up but there is always going to be room for more - in fact, the more stops on this train the better!

To read all the details and to learn how to sign up and maybe even win a special prize to boot, click here to visit the original coupon train post.

If you are new to coupon trains the premise is really simple. Everyone has coupons for items they don’t use and most people just throw them in the trash, right? I know I used to. Coupon trains work because I clip all of the coupons (even the ones for things I don’t buy). I started this train will my own collection of current (in-date) coupons that are for items I don’t want for whatever reason.

I send those coupons to the next person in the train who takes what they want, adds some of their own, removes the ones that are out of date (or about to be out of date) and sends it to the next person.

The great thing about coupon trains is that they can continue for as long as there are people who want to register as stops. The more people who participate, the richer and more diverse the collection of coupons that are circulating.

Don’t ever forget that coupons are basically free money, so the next time you find yourself debating whether or not to spend the five minutes it takes to clip a few, ask if you would just toss a few dollars in the trash can, because that is exactly what you’re doing when you toss those unclipped coupons!
