If you can't find a local coupon buddy, consider coupon trading!

[tacatcon]

If you have never traded for coupons before, you don't know what you're missing! By trading the coupons you don't want for the ones you do, you can gain access to coupons and deals you have never seen before! You may be able to double up to .99 at your grocery store, but maybe you usually see coupons for $1/2 or $1/3. Well trade with someone in another part of the country who gets those .75/1 coupons and watch the savings add up!

To start trading, you will need to sign up as a Trader in Training. There's a link in my siggy to join. You will gain access to a special forum for learning the ropes of trading and a special trading area if you want to start off slow. You can also post in the other trading forums except auctions, secret pals and trains.

Once you graduate to full Trader status, you can post in all of them! Not only can you trade for great stuff, you make new friends along the way!

TNT is turning one this week and to celebrate on Thursday we'll be having a live chat! Come join us and get approved right then and there so you can start your trading adventure! TNTs are your virtual coupon buddies!:thanks7:

I'll have to second (or third) how great trading is! There are several online buddies that I have made here that I would have never found if it wasn't for trading.
