We all accumulate coupons. Most for products we need and use often. But in a typical Sunday flyer, or the give-aways at doctor’s offices I find myself with many coupons I can’t use. Starting a trading group is a great way to maximize coupon use. In Refundle Bundle we actually have about 30-40 people who trade their un-wanted coupons or other refund-related items. But it’s easy to do locally too.

If you work, check with co-workers about swapping coupons. If you’re a stay-at-home mom, check with the other mothers and trade during play groups. Check with your local librarian to organize a swap-remember the coupons have to be sorted and expired coupons discarded to keep the system viable. You can develop pen pals with friends and relatives in other communities and expand your trading.

One subscriber to Refundle Bundle set up a round robin with relatives. They traded coupons, but sent along family photos and stories about the family. What a great way to combine savings and family news.
