What do you do with coupons/vouchers that you can't use?

When I was a kid, there used to be pinboards or these little tables at the market, where you could "trade" coupons, but I've never really seen anything like that as an adult.
I know the rules here say no trading, but I feel guilty throwing out some vouchers that I can't use. (Today, it was the body lotion one from the Express). I thought about maybe buying the lotion and then giving it to charity or maybe just leaving the coupon on the shelf in Lloyds next to the lotion. Heh. I have one lady that I work with who may use it, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, do you swap coupons with friends or bin them or...

I have left them next to the product on supermarket shelves before, and have also bought and sold them on eBay, and given them away for free on here. I'm like you - I HATE to have to throw them away! I'd be interested in swapping vouchers with you if you like?0

I give them away to people I dont know(who think I;m mad) in the shop. Sometimes they even say thank you!

I often see people giving vouchers away on Freecycle. People can just send an SAE for them if it's easier than arranging collection times

As I overbought the pregnancy huggie ones a while ago I sold them on ebay and was amazed how easy it was. There is a really good market for coupons- even ones with a short date if you put on for one day, and as they have cost me money and effort to get I feel ok about selling them.0
