Hello, I'm new here and interested in getting involved in coupon swaps yet I'm not familiar with the "coupon trains", could someone please give me a quick "Coupon Trains 101"?

Thank you!

coupon train all have their own rules most of them require you to have 100 coupons and they all have to expire after 30 days from now. when you get a evie in the mail you take out all expired coupons, add the amount you took out then send it to the next person on the list.

Thank you so much! That is basically what I thought yet I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything important.

Could someone please tell me what "Blinkies" are? I had noticed them metioned one of the threads here.

No problem blinkies are internet printed coupons. alot of stores won't take them but you should call to be sure first.

Blinkies are the coupons that spit out of the red Smartsource machines at the grocery stores - some have lights on them (hence blinkies lingo) and they won't pop the coupon out until you walk away.

Does anyone by chance know which chains have these coupon machines? I live in MN and our Rainbow foods used to have them yet since they sold out to Roundy's I haven't seen them at all.

I know that my Kmart has the blinkie machines.

Thanx! I'll stop by a Kmart soon and see if them have them here
