    I LOVE this idea! Because I am swimming in samples I can't use (Burt's Bees, White Strips, etc.), and am always on the hunt for Downy Unstoppables.

    Glad to see so many people on board.

    Maybe we could WIKI this thread and everybody could just add to post #1 what they have, what they are looking for?

    Sounds like a super idea but I will probably keep donating the ones I won't use.

    The only thing is cost of shipping...In Kitchener we did a samples swap with all the local couponers and it seemed to work out very well! Went in with a box of stuff I could not use...came out with a box I could! Just an idea....

    Candini, it's a great idea, but useless at all. We thought about it a long time ago, and even decided to arrange such a trade with one of SC members, but when both of us brought the packages to a post office...we canceled this exchange at the same second. The postage will kill the benefits of a such exchange. The only way to do it, is the way we did in Kitchener - local samples/coupons swap. Otherwise, I would say, you should have lots really expensive things, you'd like to exchange for something also really expensive, then yes, the cost of $30+ for postage will make sense.

    I guess it depends on what samples they are right?

    Like razors and laundry samples would cost a lot in postage - where as toothpaste/lotions would be the same size as a coupon


    The swap idea is great, though.

    Just wanted to say that most of us are already trading sample and have been for awhile now so this isn't too new of an idea. I've got a list of samples on my TL and I've seen others with lists of samples on their TL's too.

    I have to disagree though about laundry samples. I did a trade most recently for 7 unstoppable samples and a purex sample along with some coupons and the SC member who sent it to me spent $3.50 in postage, so not too bad. I compensated her back though in extra coupons to make up for the postage difference.
