If your into coupons...

coryandrobin25

What have you found to be the best way of storing/organizing them? Accordian style organizer, 3 ring binder with baseball inserts, putting them in folder with date received, or another way?

I find myself so consumed in getting my coupons clipped and organized in the 3 ring binder and then usually don't bring it to the store because it's so big and I already have so much with LO. I tried the accordian style too. Just wondering if putting them in a dated folder in a file folder box is any easier. That way when I go to look up the deals that week I can find them easily. Any thoughts or suggestions as to what you do that works?

I use a small accordian folder. I go through the coupons before I leave after looking at the grocery ad and figure what we are going to buy and also going through them helps me remember what I have in case I see something on sale that I want to get that I might have missed in the ad. Then off I go with my pile in order of the store.

It's YOU'RE, as in "If you are into coupons". Not your.

Now I will go back and read the post.

I have a small accordian coupon organizer. There are 12 slots that I have labeled and organize the coupons within each slot by expiration date.

I'm just starting to get into using coupons.  Where do you find most of yours?  I've been using coupons.com, but that's about it.  Any other sources I should check out?

I get a lot of mine from the newspaper. They have red plum, smart source, and P&G inserts in there depending on the week. Coupons.com is another good source. I also subscribe to the All You magazine which has had many great coupons in there as well.  There are a lot of "deal" sites out there. A few are hip2save.com, dealseekingmom.com and so many more to list.

I don't clip mine until I'm ready to go to the store. I use a system that you can learn about here

Sorry my computer went haywire. But that website is very useful! It is a guide for the southern states but I'm sure you can find a similar site for wherever you are. That link will provide you with a lot of great information to make the most of coupons! GL

I use an 8.5x5.5 cheapy accordian style organizer from Dollar Store.  It came with tabs and I categorized them by: Baby, Dairy, Meat, Sides, Sweets, Toiletries, Hygiene, etc.

I go through them once or twice a month to throw away expired ones.  Plus I typically will pull out the ones I want to use before going to the store, and stick them in my pocket, with my list.

My MIL has CRAZY amounts of coupons and she uses an index card box for them all.  She has LOTS of categories.  She just brings it with her every time she shops.  My organized lives in my purse, since it's small.
