We are a sister group to the Deals & Steals group. We wanted to do more than just swap coupons and it was going to be too difficult to do in the single thread that was going. So, here we will swap coupons (Grocery, Retail, Formula Checks & More), discuss and learn about couponing, discuss strategies, conduct coupon trains (currently over 20 of them), run a weekly coupon blast, collect coupons for the military, contests and much more. Please join us, share your knowledge and maybe learn a little too! Happy Clipping Everyone!!

Group Guidelines/Participation Tips
Please follow all Cafemom's Terms of Service.
I want this to be a relaxed atmosphere where we can all share coupons and strategies for coupon clipping. Please do not use foul language and be respectful of your fellow member. So, Please! Let's play nice and start clipping those coupons!
Promoting your Business Specials, Affiliate Links & WAH Biz Opps
We will NOT be allowing posting of your business specials or freebies because many of us operate the same or similiar business and if we allow one, we will have to allow all. Please contact Barbara (barbara133) if you would like to hold a party in the main Deals & Steals group .
We DO NOT allow posting of affiliate or referral links. These are links that earn you (the promoter) a percentage of the sales received or a fixed amount for a referral. The exceptions to this rule are the charities we are allowing to post; Deals & Steals for Charity and Links of Love. Please understand if we allow everyone to post these types of links, we would be overrun by them thereby defeating the purpose of the group.
Please DO NOT POST your home business opportunities. This is not the group to do that in. There are threads in our sister groups and many other groups that allow such posting. This group is not one of them. Thanks you for your understanding.
Please join Deals & Steals Get Paid To... Opportunities, our sister group and post ALL get paid to opportunities there. This includes requests for using a referral code, you can post directly to that post here: GPT Promote & Refer! Category. This includes requests for referrals to sites like Revolution Money Exchange, Obopay, Ebates, PhotoMax (or any photo storage site) & others like them. PLEASE DO NOT POST!!
We DO NOT allow posting of affiliate links, referral links or reseller codes (including Freebie Force, BigCrumbs & Magic Kids USA). These are links that earn you (the promoter) a percentage of the sales received or a fixed amount for a referral. The exceptions to this rule are the charities we are allowing to post; Deals & Steals for Charity and Links of Love. Please understand if we allow everyone to post these types of links, we would be overrun by them thereby defeating the purpose of the group.
Monday Coupon Blast Rules:
1. Every Monday, and you cannot forget, you mail your assigned mom a packet of coupons and another mom assigned to you will mail a packet to you.
2. The packet of envelopes should contain at least 50 coupons. If you think the envelope is heavier than normal please make sure the correct postage is in place so the person receiving doesn't get a surprise cost.
3. If you cannot mail your assigned mom due to vacations ect....please let me know as soon as possible so I can take care of your partner while your away.
4. If you need to be removed from the list for any reason please let me know as soon as possible so I can assign your partner another.
5. NO INTERNET COUPONS AT ALL!!!!!!!
6. If I have to track you down and ask why you haven't been mailing more than once you will be removed without notice!!!
Coupon Train Guidelines:
Number of Riders: 5-6 members depending on how many want to ride.
Type of Train: Continuous. #1 will mail to # 2, # 2 to #3 and so on until the end. The end person will mail to #1 again and the train will start over. The list of addresses MUST remain in the envelope at all times.
Please post each time you receive & mail the train envelope so we know where it is at and where it is going.
Number of Coupons to include: 25 or more, please.
If you are going on vacation or something comes up and you foresee not being able to participate for a certain period of time, please contact your conductor so we can skip your stop.
Rules:
Rule #1. Mail the coupons out as soon as possible when received, holding on to the coupons for more than 2 days slows down the train & costs everyone money!
Rule #2. Watch for expired coupons. Please give at least a 2 week window with expiration dates when mailing, then next person on your list will not be to happy to receive an envelope full of expiring coupons.
Rule #3. You MUST post when you received and when you mailed so we know the location and who is to expect it next. If the Conductor has to track you down and post for you more than two times, you will be removed from the train.
Rule #4. If mailing more than the required coupons, please MAKE SURE the postage is right so the person receiving doesn't have to pay to make up for it.
Rule #5. The envelopes will be labeled #1 or #2 since there are 2 envelopes going out...you MUST label the outside of the envelope either of these when mailing out and refer to #1 or #2 in your post so we know which one is where....
Rule #6: NO INTERNET COUPONS!!!!!!!!
