All done Luck of the Irish 2011-thanks for riding!

[tacatcon]

Top of the Morning to Ya!

The Luck of the Irish will run for 2 weeks, starting Friday March 11th. I will take as many riders who qualify as I can on this journey. Sign ups end on Tuesday 3/8! Each week you will be given the names of 2 people to mail to. You will therefore receive 2 envelopes every week as well. So you will mail a total of 4 and get a total of 4 back. Pretty good huh?

You must have an Itrader rating of 5 with no negative feedback to ride this train. You do not need to have a wishlist but it certainly helps your fellow riders know what you would like to receive. You do not have to be Irish to ride this train but on the 17th we're all Irish anyway!


25 minimum coupons with no store specific, baby, pet or meds unless you have specific coupons from a wishlist or they say they shop that store.
No more than 2 of a coupon unless it is an exact match*** to a wishlist item.

***By exact match, I mean if I have $1/1 Maxwell House coffee, any 11 oz + on my wishlist, don't send me 4 $1/1 Maxwell House decaf.

Expiration dates should be minimum of 2 weeks out from when you mail.

Extras are great but make sure to put enough postage. Please write your name on or in the envelope as well as the name of the train so the receiver knows who to give credit to!

You may include inserts, non-inserts, hangtags, MIRs (be careful of state restrictions though), TMFs, Coke Rewards, Pampers Points, etc. Stickers, samples etc can be added but do not count as part of your 25. If you're not sure, ask!

You must post here when you mail and when you receive each week. Not doing so may cause me to remove you from the train. If you have an emergency come up where you can't mail on time, please PM me right away. Otherwise envelopes are to be mailed Friday 3/11 and Friday 3/18. Mailing early is ok but mailing late not so much.

Feedback is always appreciated by your fellow riders!

If you would like a ticket please PM me with a "Top of the Morning to Ya" your name and mailing address and wishlist link if you have one.


Here's the LUCK part! 1-If you're not up to any shenanigans and you follow all my simple rules at the end of the train, I will put your names in my lucky shamrock hat and one person will get a fabulous RAOK envie.

2-If you're brave enough to try your hand at posting a proper limerick about HCW or saving $/couponing here in this thread, those fine souls will have their names entered into a second drawing from my lucky shamrock hat to win a second RAOK. Be advised I may share your limerick on Facebook and/or Twitter!

So you have two chances at a RAOK!

Let's find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
I'll drink to that!

(forgive me St. Patrick's Day is my favorite holiday!)

You have until Tuesday 3/8 to join!

Ok everyone is in that posted. I had computer issues and couldn't get back on here to finish the matchups. So will be posting them and PM ing you today with addresses. Thanks for your patience.

[XUfan]

Sorry about your computer problems Tara. I hate when that happens!

OK everyone...I asked, and was given permission to go ahead and post a limerick. So...here it is:

There once was a coupon for Gain
That was horribly hard to obtain.
My inserts were bad
And trading was sad
But I did get a few in a train.

Alright week one matchups are up. I will go back into the post later and edit in the w/l links but they are also in the address list I PM'd to you.

Thanks!
Tara

This is in the mail for today. Will work on the other envie later on today.

[borntoshop]

Mine will go out tomorrow morning. Didn't have enough time to prep the envies before the mailman came this morning.

[Deja Vu]

Deja Vu mailed to Xufan and kookiecrisp!

I'm afraid this Irish fool,
has not a single one for you.
Things have been crazy,
and I'm a nip lazy
I've traded them for whiskey and stew.

[kookiecrisp]

My envie to Deja Vu is ready for pick up tomorrow.
