Trade Day???

[princessd]

bump!

[Pouf]

Hey ladies-

Bad news, I can't come today. My sitter isn't available + my oldest DD has a cold.

Have fun!

[MrsSunshine]

so sorry to hear Pouf .. hope your DD is feeling better soon.. will have another one soon.

[princessd]

That is too bad Pouf, maybe next time

[MrsSunshine]

I just wanted to take a minute and thank everyone who came today to the swap.. it was amazing. I ended up with $110 in coupons.. i met a bunch of new SC'er's and we turned a few heads at Timmie's too
can't wait to do it again ladies.
reps for everyone for being so generous!
and high fives to Princessd's friend Lily.. she had a fantastic first time coupon shopping trip.!!

Yes thank you! My sister and I both had a great time. Can't wait for the next one! Thanks again!

I had great time too, saw coupons I didn't even know existed! For all us locals, I think this London forum page is a great way to keep each other updated on any sales or new coupons, until we have a chance to meet next time. Which of course, I'm offering up my house, or the community room at the Elgin Mall!

Loved my first trade event! Thank you everyone. I'm planning on a separate filing system for my trade coupons now that I've seen how it's done!

I agree NickiB, it would be nice to get this London forum hoppin' with information for us locals.

Two questions for princessd that I forgot to ask while I was there.....where did you buy the coloured dividers for your binder and would you share your categories with us? I only have 8 categories and it's really too general for when you need to hone in on a particular coupon in the aisle of a busy store. Thanks in advance!

I couldn't come either! At first, I thought we were meeting at the Tim Hortons on Commissioners/Wellington as someone mentioned the Metro over there had lots of coupons in this thread, so silly me remembered that and went there!! Waited about 10 minutes, realized something didn't seem right, came home and then had a heart attack! Talk about not writing things down..it was too late to come there and I missed it!!!

The rest of you, I am so happy it went well, I have never been to one and was looking forward to today's meeting but it went down the drain for me.

I found a coupon category picture online and thought I should share it with you. Some don't make sense but it's a start...and yes princessd, please do share it with us as well :D

[ingridmann]

Thanks julyprincess - those a detailed categories too. Exactly what I need to change my system to...

[MrsSunshine]

heh NickiB.. .. finally figured out what the coupon was for that was up to $5 off .. the FPC..it was for the Ajax dish soap I used. i emailed them for coupons. they sent me one.. like seriously.. a $5 off ONE product.. when my soap is $1.49..they dont' come in large sizes or multi packs.. hopefully you get some great use out of it. just realized when i looked at the back of my bottle it read 'Colgate-Palmolive'. o well enjoy
