Now that you have started to gather your coupons from the store tear pads, the various printable coupons from sites, from Dr. and Dentist Office’s, magazines and of course the one’s ordered from all the free online sites, how do you organize them?
I started with a simple zip lock freezer bag but quickly found that that didn’t work for long. Some people use a 3 ring binder with the plastic hockey card sleeves that they put their coupons in to organize them. While that is a great idea and after thinking about that for awhile I discovered that I needed a simple and very quick way to keep them available and organized for me as I didn’t have a lot of time.
I made a trip to my local Dollar Store and found 2 organizer’s and I set one up for my food coupons and the other for my non food items. I labeled them to suit our family. In the food folder my labels include, breads, cereals, noodles/rice, canned goods, snacks, oils/butter, cheese etc.
Non food items I have labels such as, cleaning supplies, toilet tissue, deodorants, soaps, creams, personal items etc.
Just label them to suit your family. I also have a really small organizer folder that I keep in my purse to go shopping with. In that folder I keep the coupons for the items on my shopping list. Another Dollar store find.
I always leave the other folders of coupons in our car just in case I see an unadvertised in store special. That way the coupons are easily accessible and I can run out to the car and get the coupon to use, easily and quickly. I just don’t want to take all the folders in the stores with me as it is bulky plus looks odd lol.
