what to do with unwanted coupons?

[voxwife]

Hi all,
I had a great first week. I spent 100 instead of 200! I can't believe I never new all this stuff! Now that I am clipping for the second week of shopping, i hate throwing away the unwanted coupons because it is throwing away money. For example, we don't use diapers or have pets or eat chips, but someone out there does. Any suggestions for passing them on?

you can trade them,

I like to put coupon inserts on our local Freecycle.

At the 2 closest library branches, there is a place to exchange coupons.

Thank you, I will check the library. I do need to read about trading. I have a secret fear it will be time consuming and so I haven't yet dived in to it. Thanks again.

A lot of the "untrade-able" Qs like meds for the elderly; take them to your local assisted living facility. Those folks still have to pay for their meds, and their HBA items. A lot of facilities only get 1 or 2 papers for all the residents to share; so they would be ecstatic to have several envies to look thru!

I agree trading is a way to go, w/ the others.

Restaurant Qs: you can give to area offices. They love getting enough to 'go around', when ordering out. (i.e. Pizza Hut, KFC, etc.)
