Buying Coupons

The coupons that you get in your Sunday papers vary from region to region. Not only the product, but the amounts vary also. Those on the East coast seem to get the higher values... Don't know why...

So, I have bought coupons on eBay or traded on A Full Cup or Slickdeals. You are not buying the coupons (that's against the rules), but you are paying for the persons time to cut, sort, etc.

I have also been a part of a Coupon Train. This is where you and 4-5 other people mail your coupons to each other. First person starts the train and mails to 2nd person. Second person takes out coupons that they want, then replaces those coupons with new ones. Second mails to 3rd. Rinse and Repeat. This works great unless you all shop the same deals at the same stores. Which is what happened in the train I was in... If anyone is interested in this, let me know and if there are enough that want to do it, I can hook you up with each others info.
