Thread: coupon binders

I started out with a bunch of small envelopes (tops cut off) held together with a rubber band. Each envelope was marked with a catergory to hold the coupons. The front envelope was the shopping list and coupons I knew I would use.

I kept changing the envelopes as I used the coupons and made other changes as time went along. You will then probably find something like what you want/need in the store or online or make it yourself.

Everyone has kind of a different method. Find what is comfortable and practical for you.

I do the envelope system also and keep them in the wallet next to the check book so that I always have the coupons with me when I go to the store.

How fortunate you were. Didn't work for me. Left in the cart one day and got home before realizing what happened, went back, nothing. No contact and nothing returned to the store after checking a couple weeks. I guess my coupons and organizer were worth more than honesty.

momof5,
I'm really glad you asked this question. I don't have a good system set up. I'm usually digging in an envelope, then picking the ones out that I need, as I go. I'm aways afraid that one day that the coupons are going to go flying all over the store floor loll.
wendylapointe-- has a great idea with the binder. When I was on my last shopping trip, I saw a women with the same system. She was kind enough to show it to me. And what an awsome setup it was. So organized too. I'm going to try this one.
