HOW DO I ORGANIZE MY COUPONS?
It took me a while to find the perfect swing for myself.
There are many ways to do this.
As a little girl I used to clip all the coupons for my mom
and we would put them in a shoe box with homemade cardboard dividers by category.
That does not work for me with couponing using the internet anymore. ....
I found myself a 13 Gallon Flip Top Filing Box at Staples,
paying for it with my Staples Rewards.
I only cut out the coupons I know I will use on the Sunday they come out.
Then I put the remainder of the insert into a hanging file by date and type,
example "7/3 P&G".
I never throw a coupon away because
you never know what sale may come up
or what someone you know may need.
Also, when I need to post something,
I can go back and tell you what insert it came from.
For my shopping trips I use little photo albums and CD holder cases.
They were in the house and weren't being used anymore, so I put them to use.
I just don't want to spend money to save money, LOL.
You can also find these at garage sales and thrift stores very cheap.
I have 1 book for Target, Wegmans, Tops Markets,
and one for the weeks deals at Walgreens/RiteAid/CVS.
This way when I am shopping I don't have a 15lb 3-ring binder.
Especially if you are shopping with kids in tow you will have less to carry around.
I put them right in my purse, and can just pull out the one in the store I need
and the others are right there in my purse on hand
if I find something else exciting.
