From the "How It Works Page":
"A $9.95 annual membership will automatically be added to your first order. After loading up your shopping cart with coupons of your choice, just click on Check Out. We will automatically tabulate a processing fee of 10% of the total face value of your grocery coupon order plus 75 cents to cover shipping. This amount will be shown in total, before you are asked for any Credit Card information. We then reimburse you for the 10% clipping fee and the 75 cent shipping charge by sending you extra coupons from your selection to cover your investment. (Note: Coming Soon- local restaurant coupons which can be printed free anytime).As an example... you order $20 worth of coupons for a total cost of $2.00 ... the coupons of your choice are sent directly to your home via first class mail and you receive them a few days later. We also include an extra $2.00 worth of coupons of your choice to cover your handling fee. So in reality you are receiving the $20 worth of coupons for free!"
My husband saw on TV (again) the shopper saved 65.00 using this. Since they are not on-line coupons, but coupons they have in the Sunday paper I am considering this. Before I do use this I'd like to know if anyone has used this?
If you have do you like the service they provide?
Do you feel this service is worth the $9.95 yearly fee? This is inaddition to the processing fee.
Are the coupons you get to make the difference up, actual coupons you get for products you use?
Are the coupons you get about to expire in a few days or do you have a few weeks to use them?

Now I found the two above sites on a site called the Grocery game.
This site charges a fee to tell you when to best use the coupons to take advantage of advertised sales to really save.

I have never heard of this before.. Although their processing fee and charge (except for the year membership or fee what ever it was sorry hehe) Is pretty much how I used to do my coupon trades online when I was dealing with trades that did not consist of trading for other coupons.. And normally it was done via paypal...
But honestly it seems like it is a scam to a point.. Just be cautious, that is all I can say
I know for now up until the summer or at least till about may 13th.. I will not being doing that much coupon posting or trading... Due to school... I wont have the time to organize and post what I have..
although when summer rolls around I will be back on my game to trade coupons...
I am possibly thinking of getting a coupon train going for Gather members... I just need time to set up an article to get a group of people going and get the list out, and let everyone know the rules.. So this way new coupons can get circulated through the states or what not...
If this sounds good to anyone hit me up via message and let me know... Thanks
I would be intrested in the coupon train. I always have many coupons I don't use but cut out, so I leave them next to the product. This would ge great.
Thanks for the info Nancy. I really do not want to pay for coupons, but my husband saw on the Today show, and one other show, that the shopper saved around 80.00 or more. He thinks it's a good idea to buy the coupons, I am hesitant to do so.
Saturday I shopped at Publix and saved 39.50 -using both the Publix sale ad, a 5.00 off 50.00 from entertainment books, Publix coupons (from flyer in store), coupons displayed near products, and coupons I used on B1G1 Deals.
I went back this morning to get some diet snapple tea, and Glaceau Vitamin Water, Fridays appetizers, and a few other items I had coupons for I saved 43.50 today,, and I had 3 2.00 coupons off sargento cheese, and 2 2.00 coupons for perdue chicken, in addition to using more of the coupons I used yesterday and anoher 5.00 off 50.00 from the entertainmet books (i bought 2 books).
I would like to trade coupons, but I have not decided if I will purchase coupons yet.
I am at the point I think I can save by combing sale flyers with coupons, but I don't always have the coupons when the item is on sale -because I have already used the coupon. I think I should by two sunday nespapers, and also get more into trading coupons.
Send me a message with your full name and mailing address...
I am going to hopefully this weekend post an article up mentioning about the Coupon Train... This way I can get a bunch of names.. And even get two trains going in different directions so to speak...
Also, I am lucky enough I have access to a place where I can get the Proctor and Gamble flyers and I am speaking of tons of them... hehe... So when the summer rolls around I will probably work on posting up the list of coupons I have with their expiration dates and how many I have and their value ( I normally type out everything the coupon says when I do things like this...)...
When I ask for money for the coupons, it is mainly to do with I think of it for the small amount I ask for, and how much you are saving in relatity.. It pays for my time... In the past I have sent someone a total of $80 worth of coupons and with reimbrusemnt for postage and the small percentage I asked for the coupons I was sending her, she paid me max I think it was $8 dollars... but nothing more than $9.00
Also, can you do me a favor... Before we get this train started.. See if your grocery store accepts Commisary Coupons... or Military Coupons... They just say that instead of Manufacter's Coupon.... :)
