21 Things to be an Epic Couponer (full)

[theweave]

Well I must say that as a GUY the name Darlene's Darlings, just does not rub me the right way!

I like the Generation $ave! Good one there!!!! Relly all of them are good ones, just don't see myself being called 'Darling' unless a wedding ring goes with it too! *LOL*

Woven One...I'm pretty sure if we checked with your Mom, she'd confirm you as her darling.

Sorry, haven't found any coups for the wedding ring thing
I like Gen $ave too.

LOL -- what you wanted me to spank you just a few days ago? But refuse my love? I'm crushed Weave.

Darlene's Darlings does kind of remind of Darlene's Ducklings ... which is just one step from Darlene's Quackers .... hmmm you see why you need to name your own group.

Trading is a huge topic so we're going to take it a bite at a time starting with creating wishlist and tradelists.

This screencast, Thing 4, will show examples of wish lists and trade lists and provide some information on where to post them etc.



View Coupon Trade Lists and Wish Lists


Activities

1. Find a tradelist or a wishlist that you think is easy to read and well organized. Share the name of SCer who has created the trade list.


2. What are some other things people trade coupons for besides coupons?

3. Creating your first tradelist and wishlist can be a daunting task. Check out the slide below for some ideas on how to bootstrap the set up and save time.

Try creating a tradelist and wishlist. Keep it simple and short. You can always add and add and add some more.

If you have lists already, please post a link to them and talk about your experience setting them up and where you post them (in the thread or on your profile).



your tradelist or wishlist using the tips below. If you have a list already, post a link to it and let us know how you're doing at maintaining it.

I have been trying to think of some names for us to suggest - I liked Susan's ideas about including meanings around being first (we're the first group) but also thought we should incorporate the idea that we are learning (or exploring!) this topic....here is what I came up with:

Prime Explorers of Epic Proportion (or just Prime Explorers or even The Explorers for short)
Tag line: Together, we're blazing trails in coupon adventures!

Other ideas:
Capital Couponers
Coupon Adventurers

I was trying to think of something with the word "Ace" in it but anything I came up with just didn't "roll off the tongue".

Maybe some of these suggestions will help??

Thanks for starting the discussion $power!

1. Find a tradelist or a wishlist that you think is easy to read and well organized. Share the name of SCer who has created the trade list. MYSTIC - for some reason, I found this person's list very easy to read and find things on...I borrowed a very similar format to create my own list...thank you Mystic!

2. What are some other things people trade coupons for besides coupons? Stamps, codes & pins (icoke, stouffers, gifts to grow, enjoytheride, etc.), gift cards, points (shoppers drug mart especially)

3. Try creating a tradelist and wishlist. This took me awhile and I don't have everything on it (like my TFT coupies) but thought it was a good start. I have put it in my profile "About Me" section if you want to take a look. Feels good to have that done!!!

As for a name for our group, all of the suggestions so far sound great!
Activity:
1. KristenB's tradelist & wishlist are great, I like how she's got them organized. I may need to borrow a few of her ideas. I hope you don't mind KristenB! Thank you!
2. Other things people trade coupons for: Well, like eltada mentioned, stamps, SDM points, pins, etc., also I've seen a few folks mention Canadian Tire $$. That's about all I can think of for now!
3. Haven't started a tradelist or wishlist yet, I may be able to start a tradelist tonight. I'll let y'all know when I've completed it!

Still time for a last minute ticket before it departs tomorrow.

Missed the train info -- look here.


I'm going to do 2 trains so everyone gets a train faster.

So the questions:

1. Do you want me to include a few Brandsaver March 31 expiries for the first rider or two - you toss when expired?

2. After the train does the first loop ....do you want me to route it to the rest of the riders, so we'd have two trains then chugging along all the way.Here's our proposed routes:

Train #1

Gemini06 Mississauga ON
Eltada Oshawa, ON
LovelyLaeticia Perth ON
greeke33 Niagara Falls ON
new2savings Sherwood Park, AB
susan.h Calgary AB
$power Salmon Arm B.C.
Giving-Small Saskatoon


Train #2


$power Salmon Arm B.C.
susan.h Calgary AB
new2savings Sherwood Park, AB
greeke33 Niagara Falls ON
LovelyLaeticia Perth ON
Eltada Oshawa, ON
Gemini06 Mississauga ON
Giving-Small Saskatoon

I would say no harm in putting in the brandsaver coupons but it looks as though I wouldn't be getting them, so it's really up to the people at the top of the list I suppose.

I like the idea of having the train do two "loops".. And I like that you're making them in such a way they will hopefully move quick!

[Gemini06]

Whatever you think is best!

Darlene.

I'm ok with whatever you decide too. As for sending it on, as long as it hits me before the middle of March, why not ?

I haven't done the wish list /tradelist assignment. I'm not anywhere ready to trade right now but if I do, it will be because you taught me what I needed to know

Things at home are needing my attention etc.

Just wanted you to know.

1. Do you want me to include a few Brandsaver March 31 expiries for the first rider or two - you toss when expired? If you aren't going to use them anyway, putting them in won't hurt. If I am able to use one, I will (though to be honest, I think I have enough).

2. After the train does the first loop ....do you want me to route it to the rest of the riders, so we'd have two trains then chugging along all the way. Yes! That sounds good! It would be kinda like a "figure 8" of sorts...

Looking forward to participating in this train!
