are there any Q's

[irmanator]

Are there any coupons that you don't bother with at all. I mean like you don't use the item, no one ever asks to trade and it is in paper so much that no one who does use it needs extra?

The reason I ask it it seems a waste of time and binder space for ex. hair dye... even if you do use it, you only need maybe one box every 6 weeks. Seems like every week there are more coupons for it, so why bother? Most people who get papers have all the hair dye coupons they need in 1 paper. Same thing with hamburger helper.... you couldn't make me eat that if it was a money maker yuck

I was clipping every coupon, then 2 wk ago i was tired and cranky so only cut the ones I'd use. Then I lost out on trade op. because I threw out the ones i didn't use. ugh and somemore that ended up being free at walgreen. double ugh

On Sunday evenings, I gather all of my inserts (from my own papers, from the ones my neighbors and brother gives me as well as the ones I get from the Starbucks recycling bin).
I clip what I think I will need, date them and file the rest by date in a monthly folder.
I then can go back if I need any for a new sale or for trading.
This seems to be the best time saver for me.

I clip all coupons (the ones we will use first, then all the other ones for trades and trains), except for OTC medicine and hair dye. I don't put these coupons in my train envelopes, either, unless someone specifically asks for them. We also seem to sometimes get a lot of various air freshener Q's and I will only add one or two of them to my trains.

I know what you mean. I recently started only clipping the ones I know I will use or might use if the deal was good enough. And the rest I'm keeping in a file folder thingy, and made a list of them all so that I can just go to the list to see if I have them to trade or give to my family members if they need them. I sent the list to my sis and am still waiting to see if she needs any. I need to send the list to my DD24 also. She just hasn't seemed to be that interested though. I can't get her to tell me exactly what she can use, you know? She just says whatever you can send I'm sure I could use. I've only sent her them once so far a few weeks ago, cause she hasn't asked for anything since.
