Coupon Swap was a Great Success!

Our first coupon swap was a success! Ania, Sydney and I swapped coupons, shared tips and steals and watched the little ones interact! I wasn’t sure how it would go at first or how we would do it, but for the most part, Sydney started with a whole insert, clipped the coupons she wanted and then passed them to me. I clipped the coupons I wanted and passed the insert to Ania. We also had a pile in the middle of the table with coupons anyone could take and Ania brought All You magazines to page through for coupons. 

It was also nice because before the swap, we requested coupons for the other people to print to bring to the swap. So, for example, I knew Syndey likes organic coupons and Ania likes Gerber coupons, so I printed some for them and brought them to the swap. Then I requested Chex Mix and cereal coupons which they brought for me. So, I think I ended up with 6 Chex Mix coupons which are only $.40 this week at Walgreens! Yay! I also clipped some Glade Coupons for the deals at Walgreens and Syndey clipped some Dove coupons for the $.80 shampoo and conditioner at CVS this week! Plus we clipped a bunch more!

Such a smart way to coupon because you can get multiple coupons of the same product without buying so many papers, ordering them in the mail or reaching your print limit! Plus it was so much fun to meet Syndey and her daughter as well as see Ania again and meet her daughter! Both little girls were SO well behaved for the entire time! It’s also fun to connect and share tips, websites, strategies, deals, etc. with other people doing the same thing!

The plan is to do it again before Thanksgiving (Black Friday deals are awesome) if not before! I would love to meet more of you and we had a TON of extra coupons left over so there were plenty to go around! THANKS Sydney for such an awesome suggestion and to Sydney and Ania for swapping coupons with me today!
