What happens now?

So I joined this site after watching it for a while, like a good member uploaded my tradelist and my wishlist. That was a lot of typing let me tell you, all the while my loving hubby is teasing, seems like alot of work to save a buck. Never you mind I say, see all the ppls on here they are going to see all the super coupons I got and I'll get lots of trade offers, the snail mail way. Well here I am wondering if the emails will come in the snail mail all I got was a thumbs up from a lovely gentleman whose tradelist includes joy, lol, a big thank you to him at least somebody wants to trade something with me. Guess I'm just not quite familiar enough with this site to know where to look for suff. This is probably the wrong forum threat to post this in but i just dont know where else.

You can make offers on others wish lists, join trains, post your trade list and see is anyone is interested....good luck trading and couponing

According to your profile, you have only been here a few days...as saddlebag says make offers on other people's wishlists...as a newbie you most likely will be expected to send your part of the trade first

here's the link to the Adopt-a-newbie thread..

You may want to post around the tea-room or games threads to get your post count up and get your name known to more experienced traders...here's the chat-a-thon thread ...

just jump in and get to know all of us...

Typing out trade and wish lists IS a lot of typing, and not to mention WORK! My husband made fun of me all the time when I first joined too.. I've since given up on lists (WAY too lazy lol). I generally just browse through what people are looking for and make offers.. I've found that there are so many experienced couponers here with every coupon available pretty much.. so not many people appreciate all that time you spend tracking and entering 50cent - $1 off coupons.

Really, I would recommend only listing rare and high value coupons, or at least those that are harder to get your hands on. That's my 2 cents

Oh, and GOOD LUCK and WELCOME

As long as you are familiar with the coupons that you have on hand, it may be easier for you to look at other people's wishlists and make offers to them of what you have and what you'd like in return.

also, having a bigger wishlist helps...

A big wish list will always serve you well. I don't have a trade list. Too much work and by the time I'd add them all, they'd expire! But I can always trade with people because we can look at each others' wishlists
