I use coupons every now and again but I know some people out there are coupon pro’s and can rack up the savings using coupons. In this thread UsedShoe.com Forums member SCC76 talks about a recent trip to Walmart where she bought items totaling $43.91 and she had coupons which totaled $38.51 meaning she walked out of the store only spending $5.40 (plus tax). If you’re a fan of coupons or new to the game there are a few ways that UsedShoe can help you. The coupons message board is found Here. The first topic in this board is a Coupon Train started by a few of the members and the way that the train works is you let people in the thread know you are interested in joining, someone will send you an envelope filled with coupons that they are not going to use. You take out whatever coupons you want to use, and you put whatever coupons you have at home that you’re not going to use into the envelope and send it to the next person. You’re only cost of using the coupon train is the stamp you need to use to send the envelope to the next person.

The coupon message board itself is a great resource for finding coupons online. Coupons usually have a life of a month or two (sometimes more), so if you don’t see a coupon you are looking for on the first page or two, do a search because maybe there will be one that got pushed back a bit. There are also “living” threads which get updated every week or two, such as the Restaurant.com coupon thread found here and the Victoria’s Secret thread found here.  If you don’t want to lose track of the good threads you find there is a bookmarking option (if you are logged into your Forums account) so you can easily keep track of all the threads that you will use consistently.

Good luck with the coupons and if you have any success stories of saving big bucks feel free to share!
