Here’s a great idea for saving money AND a reason to get together with your best girlfriends! What could be better?
As a couponer, you know that you can accumulate quite a lot of stuff for cheap or FREE. When I get more of a particular item than I can use in a reasonable amount of time, I like to donate those items. But sometimes I find myself running low on some things too.
Fortunately, I have a very good couponing friend and when I mentioned that I had a ton of medication that I would not be able to use before it expired, she told me to bring it and some of my other surpluses over and we’d swap. This is everything I took to swap. Now mind you, all of these items were FREE or better when I purchased them. So I’m losing nothing by swapping them.
For these items that I did not need, I was able to get items that I DID need:
My favorite hairspray, deodorant that Hubs likes, big bottle of multivitamins, 2 boxes of tampons, and a ream of computer paper.
This is close to $30 of stuff that I got for FREE by trading items I got for FREE!
So call your couponing friends and organize a Stockpile Swap!
Wish I had my stockpile set up (it’s in totes until after we get our taxes back), and wish I had couponing friends. I just moved here in Jan. so I have no couponing friends.
Very good idea! But I don’t have one too.
