What do you do with "junk" coupons ?

[Lurkergirl]

I really am wondering if their is something to do with "junk" coupons .I lable junk coupons as things like Pose pads ,joint juice,vitamins,and anything else you aren't allowed to place in the train forums.
I usually toss them ,but was wondering if their was something better to do with them .

[gctattoo]

I just toss 'em too.

[loveebella]

idk i have mine and i save them all in my junk/i will likely never use..just incase

[shelleyf]

I usually save them until they expire because sometimes they are a moneymaker, lol. So even if you don't use them "buy" them for free and donate them to someone who will use them.

You could do a ROAK with those Vitamin Q's (Sundown)(me-me-me-me):hysterical:. No but really you could do ROAK listing a specific group of Q's (vitamins, adult diaper, etc.) and see if anyone would like them. There are all types of couponers out here and I'm sure someone could use them. Or........you could throw them away, way for a MM deal on them, leave them at the store by the product, etc. Just trying to help.:wavehi:

Thansk for the tips I had thought about the RAOK but was unsure but I guess if people knew what q's they were then only those who are interested would respond .I may just do that

You can donate them to the local VFW or whoever takes expired coupons.

I pay attention to the people around me. I think Muscle Milk is a junk coupon but I saw a guy at my office who drinks it daily and gift him all my coupons.

I also keep my eyes peeled for people who may need the items I have coupons for. I have given coupons to complete strangers in stores. If they are buying the Poise or the Joint Juice, etc. and get a coupon from you, imagine what a great thing you have just done for that person!


Also, one never knows when you may need something. I never thought I would be using the Knox $6 coupons.....but....my mother started complaining about her joints, and....Walgreens had Knox on clearance. I bought it using my $6 coupon and gave it to her to try.

My favorite thing to do is keep all the coupons, wait for a money maker or other good sale (free is good), buy the product and donate it to homeless shelter, food pantry, womens shelter, etc. They are most appreciative of all the self care products, medicine, and even the unusual things.

I usually keep them just in case

[Lurkergirl]

The thing is I don't carry all my coupons with me .I only carry the ones I may use with me .

[JOURDYSMOM]

I keep keep keep them!!!

The lesson I got to learn that was the $30 Bayer Meter Q's... I chucked them all, cuz I "knew" that I would NEVER use them.... 3 weeks later we had that $10 MM deal At Walgreens ...I was LIVID!!!!!

Lesson learned quick hard and fast!!!!

RAOKs, leaving them by the products, or buying things inexpensively/free are all good things to do! I also really like the idea of giving them to people around you who need them. I don't have kids, but I make sure my baby/kid qs get in the hands of my friends who do--and if I see good sales for those products, I tell them, too.

Do what works for you. :-D

I started a coupon swap box at my church. So, everyone brings the coupons they don't want, and then get to choose other coupons. Some people just bring in the entire inserts since they don't use coupons!!

[jenandjb]

I keep them and try to get things for free and donate to the food pantry.

[choka162]

I usually keep them in case I need them for a mm. but if I have a ton of them or they're getting close to the exp. date I "donate" them to the cosmetics counter at walgreens. At least some of them will get used then^_^

Or I get frustrated and throw them at my recycling bin lol.

[navybrat]

Wow! I can't believe anyone would really throw coupons away! If they're something you don't use, are expired or close to expiring they can always just donate them or mail them to military families overseas. I can't use 99% of food coupons so I send them along with all my expired or unwanted and for an entire large mailing envelope it cost like $2.50. And that was to Japan I think. What might be a "junk" coupon to one person could be an awsome coupon to someone else.

[maraki3]

I have 2 people I have met on this site that get my unused coupons.
1 gets my inserts after I cut out what I might use and the other gets my expireds.
I agree it 'hurts' when someone throws out the coupons.

HI, You Definatly Could Just BE the COUPON FAIRY and Leave them with the Products at the store. Im sure that way Someone can use them.
