The good old barter system, is alive and well especially among couponers.

If you get a chance to view Refundle Bundle, www.refundlebundle.com there is a whole page dedicated to about 40 people who want to trade, mostly coupons and related items. Most traders use the following lingo: trade coupons 1-4-1, which translates to: trade coupons your 25 for my 25, or your 35 for my 35, one for one.

It’s fun to try a few traders. Some close by, others from other cities to see what coupons they have available.

I used to trade during my bowling league. Each of us brought our unused coupons, placed in an envelope with our name, and passed them up and down the lanes. You took out any that appealed to you.

Another great trading time is during play dates for the little ones. We’d meet at McDonald’s once a month for the kids to play and for us to trade coupons and coupon gossip. Everyone had a great time.

Even the Brooklyn Public Library had a coupon trading section. Begin one at works, in the library, at a group center. Not only will you save money, you’ll probably make some new friends too.
