I'll be there with Nancy and we plan to have a ton of fun (and share a ton of coupons)!

Cary/Apex Coupon Swap

Date: Saturday December 10, 2011

Time: 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Location: Starbucks on Rt 55, 2840 NC Highway 55, Cary, NC

Monthly coupon swap for everyone in the Cary/Apex/Morrisville area. Just a reminder to have your coupons cut out and ready to swap and bring your expired coupons to donate to military families.

If you are attending a coupon swap for the first time, here are some swap basics:

* Bring your coupons already cut out in an envelope.

* You don't need to sort them by product type unless you really want to

* The group usually site in a circle and passes around the envelopes to the person to the right. Take the coupons you want out and put the rest back in to pass on to the next person.

* Once you get your envelope back, you know you have been through all the coupons.

* In really large groups, usually folks sit in groups of 5 to 8 people to swap

If you are hosting a swap and wish to include the information here, please post the following details:

* Date of swap

* Time of swap

* Location of swap including address

* Host contact info to RSVP or ask questions. An e-mail address is fine - I don't suggest including your phone number on a public board. You may want to create a new free e-mail just for swapping from somewhere like Yahoo or Gmail.

I also recommend the local swap group, Triangle Area Coupon Swap with addition coupon swap information.
