A VERY Cool Idea . . .
This morning I went to the store for brown sugar and there was a small stack of coupons for that particular brand neatly tucked under the stack of sugar yet sticking out enough so you could easily spot them. Needless to say I used one but I thought that was just the coolest idea . . .distribute your unwanted/unused coupons throughout the store for others to use. Anyway, just thought I'd share.

2. Restaurant coupons often have additional coupons, like kids
eat free, etc., so when we go out we always try to pass these on to someone in the restaurant to use. I have seen coupons in the grocery store that people have left. Every little bit helps.

Thanks for sharing. I've been toying with the idea of some sort of coupon exchange club or something. I hate to seen them go to waste. Now I know what to do with the ones I don't need.

On edit: you should cross post this to the DU frugal living group.

4. Some of my local stores actually have areas set aside for coupon sharing
I think that it makes more sense to leave the coupon near the item that it is for, though.

5. Good to see that you are a victim
of a random act of kindness.
