How about a coupons meeting on July 3rd? (or next week-end) Part II

[abouret]

Hi again,
According to what you all say, I will post a poll to see what people prefer. Please answer before next Tuesday (June 28) so that everyone can be set on a date.

Thanks

Hello Annie,

Thank you for doing this

I'm with the Penguin . Either places is fine with me but Saturday is great!

Abouret, if it's convenient and you're comfortable with it, I could meet you at the Panama bus terminal and do the driving?

[sammmmmmm]

Ooooh I'm excited!! Hope you don't mind, I have to bring my little one! If it's at Champlain mall I'm all in! (Abouret I'd give you a drive too! )

[yeamon]

If I were to go (Havent gotten my work schedule yet so I dont know!) Carrefour angrignon would be the best for me. Not sure about that day yet!

Thank you for the offer. Drive to Angrignon is not like driving downtown. It's mostly highway so I don't mind.

But also, if someone would like to join me in my car for carpooling I will be happy too. The only thing is that I'm a smoker. I don't smoke if there is a non-smoker in my car but still you can smell the cigarette in my car. I just want to advise.

People trade tips and coupons and for once, we can speak about coupons and deal without looking like a "coocoo" person escape from CrazyCouponLand!

hehe thanks Abouret; it's exactly what i thought! Voted for angrignon saturday
is there some kind of way we should individually organize our coupons?
I currently have them in an accordeon file i got at dollarama, but i kinda wanna try the binder with the baseball thingies; that would probably make trading easier.
Do you happen to know where they sell those plastic baseball things in montreal? and at what price?
How do you organize your coupons?
How will we know where everyone is sitting? i'm guessing food court is best?

Sorry for all the questions!! If it's too much, you dont have to answer

Personnally, I use now a binder. The accordeon thing was to small and having not all my coupons with me cost me some deal. So now I don't take any chance! And having all my coupons with me give me the change to give 6.75$ in coupons being me patiently waiting for the cashier to go through all my coupons today at Maxi. I found some plastic sheet for CD in liquidation at Bureau en Gros and it work great for me. It was propably one of the best 17$ invested in my life. You can see the information in this thread:

I think that the baseball card holder are available at Dollarama and I know they have some at Bureau en Gros. If you come to the meeting, you will probably see how people are organized and them you can take your decision.

Yes food court are usually the best and at this hour, we don't block people from eating so we don't have dirty look for still place....

The food court at Angrignon is almost a brand new one (less then 1 year). There's lot of place with big round table and "banquette". There's also a solarium with enough place for all of us. Maybe we can meet next to Burger King (entrance #1).

Hi again,
So I picked up some of those baseball pages and made myself a binder!! yay!! Thanks Abouret for the tips on how to organize! however, im afrait they will slip out at the top...i'll always have to make sure to put the binder in a bag CAREFULLY, not upside down!

Quick questions; do you bring all your coupons to coupon meetings or just the ones you want to trade? and how do we trade exactly; does it have to be like, dental coupon for dental coupon? or do we go by the savings on it (50 cent for a 50 cent)? or do we just go however the two parties agree to?

You can bring what you want. I always have my binder but I put aside all the coupons that I don't mind giving. People do not count cent by cent what they give and want they took. I pass around my enveloppe and people take what they want. Also in the pass, when I know how was there, I look at there whislist and prepare envie for the people with what I was confortable giving.
