I'm trying to do a good job here, since I joined. I was always a good shopper, I learned a lot here. I red a lot, as I was advised. Still don't get some things You guys talk about a coupon train: What is it? How do you trade coupons? I have a lot of big coupons I don't use. I feel sorry to just trash them. Someone might use them. Any advice here at all?

A coupon train is an envelope of coupons that gets mailed from one house to another. You sign up for it (I think there is a train for new members) and the leader makes a list of everyone's addresses. You get the envelope in the mail, take out what you can use, put in what you want to pass on, and send it to the next person on the list. Basically. Each one has different rules.

What you can also do is RAOK them or Coupon Fairy. You can post the coupons you won't use here as a RAOK (random act of kindness) which just means you want to give them to someone who can use them. They don't pay for them, you're doing it just to be nice. Coupon Fairy is if you have good coupons and they're about to expire, some people will take them to the store and leave them on the shelf by the item. So you're giving them away to be nice, too, and it's a little easier than mailing them. I have a friend who does Coupon Fairy a whole lot, that's what she does with all her coupons that are expiring in the next few days.

(edited to add) You can also post in the FSOT area if you want to do a trade. You'll probably want to do a Wish List before then, though.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for the great information. I've read a lot, but this is the clearest description I've read.
