How do you organize and manage your coupons?

Me too!

I love the baseball organizers, you just have to clip your coupons really well, lol. they don’t always fit great. i put in the longer coupons in the bottom pockets so they don’t “overhang” out of the top and get bent (or crinkled and “un-scan-able”).

for categories i have baking goods, junk (this is pretty much all the middle isles of any grocery store- convenience foods, chips), bread & crackers, coffee & beverages (juices etc), refrigerated & dairy, frozen foods, cleaners & detergents, personal care- (soaps, razors, etc), dental care, pets.


>>..I pull the expired, add the news, consolidate the pages, takes me like 15 min to go through and pull my coupons for the next weeks shopping – if that long, because I can “see” all of them….in boxes, accordian files, etc, you have to page through each coupon.<<

I actually bring the binder with me when I go shopping.

Before I go shopping, I putany coupons for free items in the very front, just so I don’t forget them.

I also put an envelope in the front of the binder, so as I walk through the store any time I pick up a product that I have a coupon for, I can pull the coupon and put it in the envelope, so I don’t forget to use it, or spend time at the register searching for the right coupon.

When I’m clipping the coupons out of the paper, etc, I clip them all.

i don’t have babies- my boys are getting quite tall these days, nor do i use very many of the medicine, vitamin, metamucil, type coupons. i usually just give these types of couponsto whomever can use them.

I have seen free programs that you can download from the web to keep track of what coupons you have on hand, but you have to type in each coupon into them. I was kind of thinking- I am not that dedicated, lol.

We cut out at least 100 coupons this week out of the papers and I couldn’t imagine trying to type in each of them.

A while back one of our members contacted me about a reliable company online that she has used for a couple years and absolutely Loves their services. She was so ecstatic about it that she searched for my home phone number online to call me and tell me about it . I checked them out and I agree, they really are a great site.
