Ladies, unfortunatley the train hasn't been going smoothly as we hoped for. Unfortunatley there is some ladies that haven't follow the rules as stated and because of that some of the other ladies have been sending their coupons and getting nothing at all in return which is not fair to the ones who have been following the rules. The train is suppose to be fun and exciting but it's also serious cause there is people puting lots of time and puting some money on this. So with this said I'm leaving this open for ONLY serious interested people only. People who knows will follow the rules.

Here are the rules just in case you can't find them on the other thread. I edited and modified some parts of it...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You will be mailing to the raider bellow you and you will be receiving from the one above you.
Shaky mail to Cindi, Cindi to the next and etc... So there should not be any long waits to anyone.

Clip as many coupons as you can. It could be any kind of coupons, from your newspaper, blinkies (those coupons that you get from that little blinking machine at the grocery store), peelies, online, mailed ones, etc

Put all your cupons plus the ones you received and wont use in an envelope and mail them to your assigned rider.

Put in the new envelope as many cupons you got out of the one you recieved or more so you can keep the next rider happy :)

We will be mailing every tuesday (or sooner if you are ready)

Please post when you mail your coupons out to your assigned rider. (Example: (3/29)Shaky mailed to Cyndi. then Cyndi will reply when she gets it with (3/29)Shaky mailed to Cyndi(3/31) (or whatever day she recieved the envelope) Yes that means you will have to post when you mailed it out and when you recieve it. No exeptions to this part. This way we will know when everyone recieve theirs.

Do not be late. Things in life happen so if for some reason you can't mail your coupons on time please let us know by posting here.

If going on vacation, moving, etc. Let me know so the rider that mails to you can mail to your assigend rider.

If you miss two weeks without letting us know in advance we would have to say bye bye to you at the next stop.

If you don't want to continue participating please let us know so we can re arrange the train ride :)

Now ladies, if after reading the rules you feel you can play fair please let me know so I can put you in :)

If you think I'm missing something let me know :D

Sorry Shaky, but for now I think I have to take a break, I have a lot of things going on with Ryan being sick for almost two weeks, new job, etc, I did send out my last envelope on Tue, so you should have gotten it by now. I will let you know when I'm ready to jump in again, maybe when Z gets home and I have some time to do my own things. :)

I would like to continue to do it. At first I was frustrated cause I hadn't received anything, but once you switched my person around everything has been working fine for me. I also try to get mine out by wednesday mornings every week. I know I did miss one week but I sent twice as many the following and I let my person know that one time too. I hope we can get it all straightened out and continue to do it. Would it help if we only did it twice a month instead of every week. Like doing it the last and second week of every month so that people can get the coupons around payday when most ladies shop. Just a suggestion.

I know I go shopping every week but we can take votes, I don't mind either way as long as it works smoothly :)

I want to continue as well. I hope that Gunnersgirl has been receiving mine. I did have to re-send them out today, I did not put enough postage on the the envelope. I hope that we can keep this going. I am really enjoyin this. Please just let me know if I keep sending to Gunnersgirl.

Shaky, thanks for doing this. This has really helped me with my grocery bill. I went yesterday to commissary and saved $16 in coupons.:bliss

Yeah I also shop every week cause we do mostly fresh vegetables and fruits, but I know that many military families shop on paydays.

Shaky,

Hey girl. So are you going to be sending us a PM with the address of the person we are suppose to send it to now. If I am reading the list right, I will be sending them to you. I need your address if this is correct.;) Also, again thank you for putting this together.

Shaky

That's awesome that you guys are saving all the money possible :) that's reason of this :)
Cyndi it looks like the ones participating were in the original group so I will leave everyone mailing to the same person they were, the only ones that will change are Jessica to Aymber and Aymber to me. I will edit the original post and put the right order so there is no comfusions. Jessica has Aymber's addy already and I'm pretty sure I sent mine to Aymber right?

I was excited about this and thought it was going to be great, I sent out my coupons like I was supposed too the first time than NEVER got anything at all. I wasnt going to waste my time cutting and mailing if I was not getting anything out of it. Also I had no computer for 2 weeks due to a virus. I just sent out 3 envelopes I had sitting here today.

Shaky

Jen, I feel for you. It sucks. I just wish you would've let me know way sooner that way I would've fix it for you and I'm sure you and others would've not been disapointed. That's why is SOOOO important to update every week, every single week will be require to update for when you send it and for when you recieve it. It's sad thought that I even PM people who were suppose to be part of the group and didn't even get a reply back :no

Shaky
