looks like a mess, but its really not:)
Pictures of my coupon binder:)
Then I have some baseball card holders for store specific items. I have one for Target, CVS, and Grocery store section.
So to organize your coupons, and to have them portable so you can have them all at the store with you, the easiest way is to put them in a zip up binder, with baseball card holders.
Shopping list
zip up binder
baseball card holders
sissors
page protectors (optional)
pen/marker
Dividers
So, you will spend some time on cutting all the coupons. What I did was take my six inserts from RedPlum, and take the 1st page off of each of the six, then put it in a pile, did the same with the 2nd page and so on. Then once I got all the pages together then I just cut out the coupons, cutting all 6 at one time. Then I take those 6 and put them under whatever catorory I made that fits for that product. I do this every Sunday. It usually only takes 1 hour.
Now for the catogories, I recommend thinking of what items your household uses. Each person's Dividers will and should be different.
I use these:
Medicine
Beauty/Shampoo's/Razors/lotions
Paper goods ( TP, Paper Towels,paper plates etc)
Grocery Items ( then I have it organize inside
dairy
frozen
side dishes/can goods
produce
baking
candy
cereal
breakfast goods
breakfast goods
misc/drinks
Dog stuff
Cleaning supplies/smelly stuff supplies/batteries/etc
Then I have some baseball card holders for store specific items. I have one for Target, CVS, and Grocery store section.
Not all coupons are created equal, and are different sizes, but I fold mine so I can see the picture and value and put them in that way to the baseball card holders. This works for me. If you like to see the whole thing, you can find different holders that may work for you.
If you have any questions, you can email me at Crystalrgreene@gmail.com :)
Happy Couponing,
Crystal
