Coupon buddy questions

[3timesoccermom]

Hi. How do coupon buddies work? Do they just share coupons?

I wondered because it seems all the buddies are looking for someone right in their city but I would like to be buddies with a couple of people in my state (I doubt I'd find anyone in my city). I know we'd have to mail things back and forth but I think that's kind of fun.

Are there defined HCW rules for them to follow or do the buddies themselves work out details?

Thanks for your answers!

Some coupons buddies meet up and shop together, while others just exchange coupons.

I think it would be decided between the coupon buddies as to weather they perferred to be in the same city or across the state.


I am not aware of any HCW rules pertaining to coupon buddies. I believe it is up to the buddies to work out the details.

Are there any coupon buddies in NC?

I'm here in SC. I would love to mail coupons back and forth with you. I have a family of five, and I also buy all of my parents groceries for them. I get 5 papers aweek delivered. I also get the Wednesday News and Reporter which duplicates the coupons that are in Sundays paper.. I shop at Bi-lo, CVS, and Food Lion mostly.

Hi! I am from Katy, TX... but I have no idea what a coupon buddy is. I am just getting back into couponing after taking a break. I ordered 10 subscriptions of the newspaper this week so I am going to have to get busy again. I adopt soldiers so I am hoping to be able to get a bunch of free snacks for the guys. And help bring our grocery bill down as well.

Hi Jennifer. First of all I commend you for what yo are doing for the soldiers.

My best description of a coupon buddy is someone you share coupons with and you customize how you work out the details according to what best suits the buddies. You look out for the things each of you wants and trade back and forth. I had 2 coupon buddies already (1 in town and 1 out of state) and found another on this site - she does a GREAT job with her coupons and saving (hi Teresa). I don't mind mailing the 2 out of state ladies coupons and they do the same for me plus you get to make a new friend. I had looked into the trade program on here but I found the numerous rules, etc., overwhelming - it's too formal for me and I would hate if I did something wrong and disappointed someone.

There is no shortage of coupon groups in Texas but I don't have time to meet in person to trade and even if I did there is no one here in my town - the closest ones are about 15 miles. I know there is at least 1 group in Katy so I would check with them and see if you can join their group. There may even be more than 1 and I know there are multiple groups in Houston too. Good luck!! You will find lots of help on this site.

I am 2 hours south of Houston, but would be willing to hop onto the coupon buddy club here.

I shop in Rosenberg alot. Might be nice to meet up sometime at the Kroger store there
