What do you do with your extra coupons?

I don't buy newpapers anymore. Coupons are pretty useless here as there really isn't a good double coupon program at the stores here nor can they beat the prices @ Aldi's. But I would like to suggest if you have other couponing friends I've heard of people doing "coupon trains" or "round robins". I had thought about doing this if the coupons would be of use in my area but they are not.

I have never heard of anything like that. I wonder if they really can use them.

I'm not so sure if that would be worth it... not sure if they could use the coupons I have (doubt they have electronics stores there) and I'm thinking postage would cost more than the coupons were worth. I give my extra coupons to a local hairdresser. I cut my own hair, but my family takes the coupons in because she will give them away to people who want them.

When I have high value coupons I take them to the grocery store or Wal mart and put them on the shelf with the items! I used to take tape and actually tape the coupon to a product but was asked by a store manager not to do that, just to lay them by the product. I have had many people to catch me doing it and thank me profusely for the coupons! The way that I see it is that someone should get the use of the coupon!

well, i am not american but i give them to other people (family, friends) that i think could use them and then our library has a box of coupons that you can trade which is cool. so everyone is happy.

I have recently heard about sending the coupons to the military too. I think that I will probably start doing that. I have not done it yet so I can't comment on it. But right now sadly I just end up throwing away the ones I don't use. Or if I know that someone I know uses certain products I will save them for them. Otherwise I throw them out to keep my home from getting cluttered. But I am going to start sending them to military families.

This is a good idea. Thanks for posting! I let my sister-in-law and cousin go through my extra coupons. Then I take them to church. We have a coupon swap box that everyone can share coupons from.
