Coupon Train?

[sarahjayn1980]

I need one more rider for a Vegetarian Express coupon train . . .

You have to sign up for the Savings Express group and then select "Trains Taking Passengers" from the database. Vegetarian Express is at the bottom

Okay, so, I did scrounge up enough people to complete my train on Yahoo!, but I still have a lot of extra coupons. Does anyone want to start a Vegetarian coupon train here?

I'm confused?

Can you explain more about how it works?

[sarahjayn1980]

Certainly.

One person with 50 coupons he or she doesn't want to use is the 'conductor'. Four people sign up to 'ride the train' as 'passengers.'

The conductor makes a list of all of the passengers address, in order, with riders 1 - 4 and her own address. She then sends it to passenger 1.

Passenger 1 takes out the coupons they want and replaces them with ones they have but don't want. She sends it to Passenger 2.

Passenger 2 takes out the coupons they want and replaces them with ones they have but don't want. She sends it to Passenger 3.

Passenger 3 takes out the coupons they want and replaces them with ones they have but don't want. She sends it to Passenger 4.

Passenger 4 takes out the coupons they want and replaces them with ones they have but don't want. She sends it to the conductor.

AND SO ON AND SO ON . . .

Ta-Da! Coupon Train!

It sounds cool, but I think it's only an American thing, right?

You'd have to find 5 people in the same country to make it worth it - postage-wise.
