Hi All! What a friendly forum! I have been lurking for awhile and have finally decided to join. I have several ?'s. I am hoping for some help from the experts.
1. I have read about ISO lists, but as a person who is not loyal to certain brands, only great deals, I don't know how to go about making one.
2. How do I go about joining a coupon train? Do you have those here?
3. What day do new shopping lists come out? I am a Meijer shopper, but I don't know if this is the new and updated list (Where is the date?)

Thanks in advance for any/all help. I am having a VERY difficult time navigating through this site!

Welcome!! AFC is AWESOME!!!

1- The easiest way is to go into the Coupon Database and mark the ones you are ISO. Once you complete that, it will show up under your name. Keep in mind, you have to "Process" page by page, you can't do the whole list then process. (Unless I'm doing it wrong, and someone please correct me if I am!)

2- Yes there are- the best way to get on one is to post on the "Request to Ride" forum- http://www.afullcup.com/forums/coupo...e-riders.html- this is located in the Coupon Trains forum. (All the forum categories are listed on the main Forum page.)

3- The new shopping lists come out at various times- check each particular store forum you shop to determine the schedule. I don't know about Meijer, but the store boards I frequent are FAST!

Take your time and browse around. There is so much information, it can be overwhelming. Stick to the topics/stores you are interested in, and you'll quickly become a PRO! Never be afraid to ask questions- everyone on here is so friendly and helpful. No question is ever a dumb one and someone will always find the time to help you out!

Welcome - it takes a little while to get your feet wet, so hang in there. The more you read the more you learn. I did not do a ISO list - you don't have to if you don't want to and you may want to later on. I just did my Wishlist today - Have been a member for a while now and finally got my act together. Trains are a great way to trade coupons but it can be difficult to get yourself onto one. If you go in the train forum you can post on the "looking for a train" this is how I got on my latest one. Some require wishlists, some do not. Some require you have a higher trader rating so check the rules before asking to join if you see one inviting riders. You can go online to your stores and they will usually tell you the date parameters of the sales - once you find that out you can follow the weekly sales better but if you got to your stores forum, they usually tell you the dates of the sale as well. Good Luck!

Edit - request to ride - forgot what it was called
