I live in Canada and was wondering if any Canadian's had any information to join in on a coupon train? I have a lot of coupons, some I wont be able to use before they expire as I have so many of the same kind. As well I have coupons for products that I will never use like cat and dog food because I don't have a cat or dog. I've wanted to join a coupon train but I can't find any real current people who are active in these. Any Canadian has any information on where to find one?

A coupon train has 4 or 5 people and you have one person called the conductor start the train sending it to passenger #1. Passenger one removes all the coupons they can use and any short dated putting into the train the total number #1 removed and sends to #2, who does the same thing and sends to #3 and the 3 sends to #4 until the train gets back to the conductor. I live in the United States, so aren't able to help you, but wanted Mylot Members to know about coupon trains.

Thank you for the clarification, I never even thought that some people might not be familiar with coupon trains, which is probably the case for people who do not collect coupons!

Hi shiesse I don't know what a coupon train is I do know that couponing ia not as lucrative in Canada as in the States due to purchasing limits I'm open to ideas but I've discovered, unless you are a serious shopper, and you are a consumer its not much worth bothering

In my opinion, it is very worth it. I have reduced my grocery bill significantly with price matching and coupons. It may not be as lucrative in Canada as the States but every penny counts in my book.

I, too live in Canada, but on the West Coast! This is something that crosses my mind, when I see the "Extreme Couponing" in the USA! I have put it on the back-burner for a long time, and today, I think this discussion has given me the impetus to do some searching! I do NOT know if you have Wagjag on the East Coast...BUT if you do, they have wonderful grocery savings on the Grocery portion of their site! Everything is 50 percent off and more!

I believe we have wagjag available here but I have never taken the time to check it out. I guess I should! Thanks for the advice, hope you are doing well with your own couponing!
