There are a number of blog members who swap coupons every month and here is the official place to post your swap details each week! See below for details on how to host a swap and what to do if you are planning to attend a swap.

If you have any other swaps scheduled in May or June, feel free to post them in the comments section below and I will add them to the main list.
Reminder: It helps the swap move along at a good pace if you bring your unwanted coupons already cut from the inserts and in an envelope. If you wait to cut your coupons until you get to the swap, it really slows things down for everyone. I've heard some recent feedback from swappers about this so I thought I would pass it on.

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 additional coupon swap information.
