[bartra]

Now Boarding for a simple mail out with a twist!!

"Favorite February Foods”

Please make sure to read ALL info and requirements before joining.

Newbies with an itrader rating of at least 5 with plenty of QUALITY coupons to share are welcome!

You can only ride up to 5 trains at a time at HCW. If you are already on 5, you can catch the next one!

After reading this WHOLE thread, post below to ride and then PM me with your full name and addy along with the number of envelopes you will mail/receive!!

How it works:

I will accept sign ups through February 19th (Saturday). I will send out the match ups and addy list, and you will have until Wednesday, the 23rd to mail out your envelopes.

This train will run for 1 week. You will decide how many envelopes you mail and receive (max of 5 envelopes per rider) !!

Mail out day will be February 23rd . Mailing early is always encouraged once the match ups are up. When you mail out, please write, ‘Favorite February Foods’ (your HCW name)’ on the back on your envelope, so everyone knows which train, which web site, which user; thanks.

Each envie must have a minimum of 25 coupons following the guidelines below. Each of those coupons must have an expiration date of at least 2 weeks from the mail date. So for the mail date of February 23rd no coupons part of the 25 coupon minimum will expire before March 9th . If you want to include extras with shorter dates that is fine as long as it is over the 25.

Here's the twist:

In your envie to your friends you must include a favorite February food recipe along with the 25+ coupons!! I don’t know about you, but I’m always hearing the words, ‘What’s for dinner?’ Sometimes I know right away and other times, I have to think REALLY hard to come up with something I know they will eat. SO, let’s share some of our recipes that we know our families will eat and give others some ideas for dinner and all those February days at the same time! REMINDER: watch your postage!!

I will send out 1 rider list with every riders mailing info. This is where you will get the addies you need to mail to your friends.

To Join:

PM your addy and number of envelopes you will mail/receive and I will accept riders for this train through February 19th (Saturday).

You must be able to mail envies with at least 25 coupons in it and a favorite February food recipe.

You must post when you mail and when you receive.

You need a wish list posted to ride. If your list is very short and specific, other train riders will have a harder time matching your list.

Coupon Guidelines:

This train is potluck which means you may not get 25 coupons from your WL in each envie. Although please try to match wish lists.

No baby, no pet, no meds, no oddball products that very few members use like depends unless you have an exact wl match. If someone says they can use cat food frees, do not include regular cat food, unless it is an extra.

Limit of 1 of each coupon unless it is an exact match to a wish list. If you have and exact wish list match, then duplicates are encouraged!!! again, more than 1 of something is OK if its "extra"

printables are great to send if the member can use them.

store specific coupons are only OK if they are on the WL.

BTFE's Coke Codes, Pepsi Codes are all great to include if they are wish list items.

Rebates and tmf forms are GREAT to include. Watch state restrictions.

Please leave feedback for your match ups :-)

Here is my 2 week rule!! If your envie has not been received by 2 weeks and the person it was mailed to has sent me a PM stating it has not been received I will send you a PM asking you to remail...you are agreeing to this by signing up.

If for any reason you mail out late (it happens, life gets in the way), PLEASE post in the thread when it went out so your receiving riders can watch for it.

I look forward to riding with you and learning about what recipes work for you and yours!

Great! Things are updated through here. We are waiting on 1 more mail out. I'm sorry I didn't do a reminder for you yesterday. We were at the hospital and other things had me occupied. We're back on the computer now.

Have a blessed day!
