    Default Dude has it down!

    It never ceases to amaze me what you can find on Youtube.com. I googled for a coupon organizer (ok so I'm gonna spend some of my savings on a real one) And got this really good video on how to cut massive amounts of coupons at once. Some people are just too smart!

    YouTube - How to clip coupons

    I am so trying that next week. I spent forever clipping coupons yesterday.

    Buying Newspapers - $6.00. Wiggling New Coupon Binder from my Best Friend - $5.00 Starbucks Frapp. Stockpiling so much stuff that my DH's teeth will be clean until Fiscal 2012 - Priceless. Friends don't let friends shop full price.

    I know! That is such a cool idea... and the coupons are all in neat little packets when he's done. I wonder if he has a staple remover in his kit or if he just tears them off.

    oh and I'm still clipping from yesterday... you should see my desk!

    But I've decided that until hubby has a job again, I should probably save my money and resuse or repurpose what I already have. So I found an old zip up binder, some oddball pink paper from may Avon days and some dividers from something else... I'm going to tape these silly zip lock snack bags on the pink paper and use that intead of buying baseball card inserts.

    Now.... just need the time to do it all.

    I had someone show me that method a week or two ago. She made sure that all staples were placed over the photos and not in the upc bar area so the coupon wouldn't be damaged. I haven't done the part with staples and cutting all out from each circular, but grouping does allow multiple cuts when one is needed.

    Hi ... thanks for the video ... I already group same together and then cut, but have never stapled because then I'd have to pull all those staples
    Is there anything in your life that you would like to change? You can dream about it, talk about it, worry about it, but nothing happens until you do something about it.

    It is an awsome thing to see . I have been doing his method for over a year now (only with a few less papers - I average 8 a week depending on how good I find the coupons ) and it really helps.

    I use zip lock bags in my coupon book. I just punched holes in the bottom of the bag and put that through the rings. Works great for me!

    I have a weekend subscription to the newspaper then I buy 3 more Sunday papers. Although this past weekend, I had to buy 2 more papers because 2 of the first set were missing the Smartsource coupons. I'll still have many dollars more in savings that what I paid for the newspaper. Walgreens and many other stores sell Sunday papers for $ .99
