Organizing your coupons

Now that so many of us have been saving the Sunday Coupon inserts.
What do we do with them?
We need to be able to find the coupons that we need.
I have compiled a few different ways to organize your coupons.
I want to give several ways, so that you can choose what works best for you.

Expandable file folder: This is a great way to just drop the whole Sunday insert into the file and keep for a later date. I file these by the Sunday date they were delivered. This method is used for storing the coupons until it is time to cut and use.

Pocket size expandable file: These are designed for coupons and are labeled inside by categories such as: Beverages, Canned Foods, Cereals, Cleaning, Dairy, Meats, Health & Beauty, Baking Products, Paper Goods, Baby Products, Rice/Pasta, Condiments, Snacks, Pet Food and Miscellaneous. This is small enough to put into your purse for your shopping trip. Coupons must be cut and placed into each section.

Binder Method: In a three ring binder, I have place Baseball card inserts to hold coupons and put them into categories as mentioned above. This way all of the coupons can be seen and I can bring my whole binder with me on a shopping trip.

The Envelope Method: Take only the coupons that you need for your shopping trip. Place them into an envelope and head to the store. You have planned out your trip and every purchase. This works very well to make sure that you stick to only buying the products on your grocery list.

The Couponizer is a new product that combines several of these ideas all in one. It is a small binder with all the categories well organized. It also some very helpful tips to keep track of your receipts and coupons that you have. My favorite feature of this product is the CoupStacker which is a pre-sorting mat to use when clipping coupons. If you need more info on this check out their website www.thecouponizer.com I have a link on my site on the side column.

I hope you enjoy all the coupon information and I would love to hear if this information has helped you save money! Let me know in the comments section.

For more information on the expired Overseas Military Coupon Program go to http://www.ocpnet.org/ Our church group has saved and sent over $75,000 in coupons through this wonderful program. Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to say that I am part of such a wonderful group of people!

This is a great way to help Military Families save money on their grocery bill.

  • Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My website discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way! <
