I don't have a problem leaving out hair color coupons!! Maybe we should just have one or two of the same coupon as well. That way there are not several duplicates. If the envelopes are not working then what about just wrapping a piece of paper around each category...

Yeah, I agree with just wrapping each cateogry in paper. I for one don't really care if they are all in order when I get them, just that I get them!
I don't use the hair coupons either, so I don't need them.

I would say we should allow at least 2 of the same coupon to stay in the envelope.

We could all post what coupons we take out(personal use and expriing) when we get the train and that way we know what we are all actually using and none of us are touching. No big specifics need to be recorded, but the product in general. Just and idea I thought I wold throw out there.

I am also in support of making the train smaller. Or we could break it into two envelopes so we kind of have two trains going but no one has both trains at one time.

I fully support either option.

Keep the suggestions coming, ladies! I have no problem breaking the train into two parts. It definitely moves faster with less people. Recording what we take might be a bit much. Maybe we could jot a few notes on the back of the addy list as to the types of things we're taking (ie, dog food, baby formula, cereal, bread). Then, we can list what we would definitely NOT use (ie, hair color, mens shower gel, etc.) Then we know what kinds of things go over well with this group. Could we put it on the back of the addy list? Then, when it hits me, I can post the goods and bads so we all know. What d'ya think?

I like that idea too (writing the generic stuff on the addy list). I thought the posting of items might be a little much...

OK then, when the train makes it to me, I will come up with something to keep track of all of this. In the meantime, if it comes to you and there's the hair color stuff and multiples of things, just leave two, and get rid of the rest. We're supposed to be saving money here, not spending it!

I received the train yesterday, I think the envelopes are a good idea. I will be sending it out no later than Monday. Sooner, if possible.

I would love to be added to the train. How do I do it???

Actually, we talked about leaving the envelopes out. Yes, they're organized that way, but it also adds weight and bulk to the mailing. (It costs more to mail.)
