    Lisa,
    
    I use coupons to and have a lot at home I hate to throw away.  Maybe
    we can start a round robin so to speak with whoever is interested.
    
    What does everyone else think of this idea?
    
    Dianne

    Not only do I clip coupons, but my mother-in-law clips them for me
    as well and mails them to me (she's in Pennsylvania) EVERY week. She's
    very dedicated!! But she sends me stuff like tampon coupon's (I've
    been pregnant for two years almost, one after another, so I can't use
    them) and denture adhesive (I'm only 27)!! I don't know why? So I throw
    away about half of what she sends me.  I'll be glad to help out in
    this venture. Let me know what comes about.

    Yup, me too.  I'd be more than happy to exchange coupons.  I've had
    tons that just get thrown away.  Granted, I don't have any children
    (yet), but will still cut those coupons in case a friend or two needs
    them.

    Rose,  Pregnant for two years!  Oh my god, how are you holding up???
    :") 
    
    I will also join.. my husband can't stand my cutting coupons but I
    save.

You're not supposed to use interoffice mail for personal stuff.

    Coupons went fast.  I will gladly take any coupons for Huggies.  My
    daughter can't wear anything but.  I constantly get coupons in the mail
    for pampers and luvs and can't use them.  I'll pass them on when I get
    them. 
    
    I'll get addresses from folks as I get the coupons. 
    
    Lisa Cozzens
    

    Liz,
    
    I don't like the Huggies, but I use Pampers, Luvs or the CVS brand.  
    I will watch for the Huggies coupons for you.
    
    Cheryl 

    Who said we were using interoffice mail?
    
    CJ..., I forgot what my feet look like.
    
    ,  I don't know about anyone else,
    but I save anywhere from $7 to $12 each week using coupons. Diaper
    ones are great but rare, especially now that I'm going to be diapering
    two kids come in August!
    
    Rose

I've called the 800 numbers on the diaper bags and the baby food jar to 
request coupons.  Some of diaper companies send out $2.00 coupons.  Once
your on their mailing lists you'll start receiving all kinds of coupons.

A reply, since deleted, mentioned mail stops.

    Sometimes new mothers receive formula coupons.  I have some Similac and
    Gerber ones if anyone wants them.  Sometimes I try to sneak them in at
    the market.  I use Carnation if anyone has any of them.
    
    Cheryl

    I use Isomil (which is a similac brand) and could use any of those
    cupons...
    
    I also use pampers and could use any pampers coupons.
    
    I will keep my eyes out for huggies and others, and will let others
    know what I find. 
    
    Anne Marie
    
    p.s...Diane, please add me to the coupon list...
                                                   

    I'd love to be added to the list also...I had been sending my baby
    coupons to my sister-in-law, but she only uses particular ones also...I
    love coupons...especially since there are a couple of stores in the
    area that double them...I save on the average of $30 a week....our
    grocery bill has been cut in half!
    
    Let me know who I should send my address to...
    
    Shilah

    
    I am putting together a distribution list of anyone interested in
    trading coupons and refund forms if you're interested in those. 
    
    People don't realize how much money can be saved by using coupons -
    especially if the store doubles them.
    
    Dianne

    I get coupons for all kinds of stuff, but I tend to stock up at
    the warehouse stores (and thus can't use coupons with short
    expiration dates).  Plus, I've been buying a lot more store brands
    lately -- Shaw's "Froot Loops" are nearly $1 cheaper than Kellogg's.
    So I will be glad to toss my coupons into the hat, too.  Maybe we
    can send the ones we can't use to a local shelter or something.

    At the doctors office the other day, I picked up some coupons that are
    good for either Enfamil, Lactofree, ProSobee, and Nutramigen.  Let me
    know if anyone wants them and I will send them to you.

Hi,

I belong to a refunding magazine and thought I'd post the following
which are "Toll Freebies"  FYI - They can be withdrawn at anytime,
I've gotten a lot of free goodies this way as well as being put on
some great lists:

1-800-781-8778 	Free sample of Resolve carpet cleaner.

1-800-480-2188	Kit for new parents including coupons on baby
		products and Kodak film.

1-800-441-SOFT	Free sample of Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula.

1-800-344-BABY	Free sample of Munchkin Disposable bottle liners by Glad.

 
Every month they have different freebies to call for.  I will post them
when I get my magazine.

Dianne

    Is there anyone who is interested in the following coupons?
    
    Pampers Trainers, $1.00, expires 2/28/95
    
    New Pampers Stretch, $1.50, expires 1/31/95

	Is anyone interested in Carnation Good Start or
	Gerber baby formula coupons?  I have some to give
	away.

	Send me mail at OOTOOL::THATTE

	-- Nisha

	Dianne or Lisa,
	
	Please add me the coupon swap list.  I'll let you know when I get
	Pampers or others that I don't use.

	I'm expecting in 5 weeks and could use a few coupons for Dreft.
	I like to use that when the baby is really little.

	My 21month old uses Huggies and I suppose the new baby will too,
	so any Huggies coupons would be greatly appreciated.

	I'm not sure what formula this baby will use, but probably Similac
	like Kristen did.

	Also, any coupons for whipes (any brand) would be great.

	Thanks!!!
	Karen T.

	P.S.  Should I send you the coupons I have and won't use? Or just
	      post them in this note.

	I have the following coupons to give away to whoever might use them:

	Pullups (anysize)           $1.00 off   expires 2/28/95
        Pullups (anysize)           $1.00 off   expires 2/28/95

    	them...

    Tracey,
    
    I called the 800 number on a can of Enfamil. They sent me about
    30 of .50 off coupons.  I get all the Purity Supreme flyers I
    can get my hands on.  They have every week triple off coupons.
    I buy all my formula and diapers at Purity with the coupons and
    the triples.  
    
    They, the Enfamil company, sent me the coupons real fast.  I've
    also done that with Gerber, Kimberly-Clark, and Beech-nut.  They
    all have numbers on their packaging.

	Thanks, Lisa... they must have changed it since last March!

    
    For anyone who does not receive the book of coupons from Toys R Us, I
    just received the newest one and anyone in the market to buying those
    big ticket items (crib, car seat, playpen) and other items such as the
    bathtub, potty chair, etc. I'd be happy to send the coupon to you. 
    There is about 5 pages of coupons, so the product that you need is
    bound to be in the book.
    
    I also received four $4 off all-day ride pass coupons for that big
    amusement park down in Warwick, RI (the name of the park escapes me), but 
    if anyone is interested....
    
    

    
    hi,
    
    how do you get on the mailing list for the Toys R Us coupons?
    i'm interested cause my sister is expecting their first child and
    any savings, especially, on the big items will be greatly appreciated.
    
    thanks.
    jo

    
    I am not totally sure how we got on the mailing list, but we have
    bought things from there using a charge card, maybe thats how?  We had
    also signed up for the Welcome Edition Club when my daughter was born
    and maybe they sell their addresses to other baby-related companies.
    
    

I have one coupon for buy 4, get one free of Carnation follow-up formula,
one coupon for $0.50 off of follow-up formula and one $0.50 off of
Carnation Good start formula. 

If anyone wants them, I am in zk2-2.

    we've also bought things from Toys R Us but don't recall ever getting 
    any coupons from them in the mail.  maybe i'll ask.

    HI,
    
    
    I'm not sure this is the right place to out this note... If it is not
    please feel free to move it..
    
    I have been doing great, with respect to coupons, from the Similac
    Welcome Addition Club.. I joined the club by calling their hotline
    at 1-800-babyline (1-800-222-9546). I answered a few questions about
    the formula my son was using and a week later I had coupons/gift checks
    at my door... 2 weeks after that I had a case (24 8 oz cans) of formula
    sitting on my door step. They tell me they will send gift checks once
    a month till my son is 9 months old.. Not a bad deal..

    A group of use used to have a coupon distribution list that we
    all sent our unwanted coupons around to each other.  It went to the
    wayside awhile ago.  If anyone wants to get this going again, please 
    send me mail with your mailstop included.  
    
    One reason being is I just "inherited" a box of coupons and
    have a lot I don't need.   It was so great going thru them all -
    especially since a lot of them are "No Expiration" date.  
    
    Regards,

I received as a sample, one can of Iron Fortified SMA powdered formula, and I 
also have 2 $1.00 coupons which expire 7/31/96. I'm not using this kind 
of formula, and thought I'd pass on the savings to anyone who can use it.
