organizing coupons

[iluvmyrgrts]

I also use a binder with pages that hold baseball cards. Except my coupons are alphabetized by A-Z instead of catergories...bread..cereal. this works so much faster for me when I'm at a store and find a great unadvertised deal so i just flip to the letter that starts with name of the item.. bic soleil...charmin
My binder is as "big as my head" also so i put it in a canvas tote i got for free for signing up at Books a Million. My DH thought I was crazy for carrying it to K mart once but he changed his mind when he noticed i got shaving items for free that were on clearance.

No binder here. I am a clip-them-as-I-use-them person. I keep all my dated q inserts in a basket (with like inserts inside each other). I use this website to match my q's to the sales. I know I miss some deals by not having them with me (in a binder) everytime I shop, but I'm just not that into it.

You'll find something that works for you. Good luck.

I started with envelopes and just a couple weeks in I realized that a binder was much more efficient and safer(keeps them from falling out of cart/purse/hands). I organize very similarly to the other gals posts, and I also have a 4x6 plastic photo album with the opening at the top to slip each stores coupons into for that day's shopping, each page is labeled with store name, If I don't end up using coupons that I have pulled for that week then those go into the front page insert and get refiled on Sunday when I file my new clippings. I always have my binder to take advantage of clearance/unadvertised specials.

I have a binder, but I can't find the time/motivation to keep it current. So recently I have started saving the inserts as they come, marking them with date, and putting them in a box "file" by date. So far, this works better for me. At least better than all of the inserts in a 10 inch high stack waiting to be cut up.
