It seems to be working!
Mearly mentioning giving all my coupons away and, voila! I stumble across a post mentioning www.hotcouponworld.com
EXACTLY what I needed. List my haves. Ability to pm my address and receive the recipient's address. I can request reimbursement of postage via Pay Pal...
Karma... it's a good thing.

Do good things, and good things happen...
I figure, if I give away enough of my coupons, I'm bound to get some really good ones in return. By "really good", I mean ones I will actually use when I go buy my groceries.
It never fails. I start my list with what we need. I then go through the print ads looking for what is on sale, then finally go through my coupons and choose the ones I'm using this week.
Once I start through the store, I start comparing prices. "Guess I'm buy store brand bacon this week. It's $1.50 cheaper even with the coupon!" Put my bacon coupon away. "Store brand whole kernel corn, $.44 each. Brand Name's 5/$2. %@*!, left my Brand Name coupon for $.25 off at home! Still a good deal, but...", mumbling as I walk away. Customers are pulling their small children into their arms. Looking at me like I just escaped some high security mental health facility.
So... I'm sorting through all my coupons. I'm going to cut, clip, and steal all the coupons I find. Then, I'm giving them all away! At least that's my plan.
I figure I'll list all my haves, and offer them first come, first serve. Then the details get a little fuzzy.
My initial plan was to have the lucky "winner" send me (somehow) their home address and I would mail them the coupons. But, then I thought, "If this takes off, postage is going to kill you." So, I then thought that I would contact the requestor (somehow) and provide my home address. They could then send a SASE in which I could send them the coupons. But, now we have twice the delivery time.
I know, I know. "Why don't you just join a train?" Well, I am on a waiting list, but still. Karma.
Your input is welcome. I have the evening to sort and clip. Then, I may make a late night drive into town and empty out those little automatic coupon dispensers. They're open 24/7. The clerks get a little heavy eyed around 2.

I'm new to blogging, so this is my first attempt.
That's all I have to say about that.
