Organizing Your Coupons

This is how I organize my coupons. I found this binder at Office Depot, and I thought it had all the characteristics to make a great coupons binder. Well I think I was right! I love it and I have also seen since other coupon sites refer to the same binder as their favorite!

It has a built in accordian file binder on the left hand side which is great for coupons still needing to be cut, and for organizing your manufacturer packets.

I use baseball trader card sleeves to organize my coupons in my binder. You can find them pretty cheap at Hastings... 2.99 for 20 or 4.99 for 10 at Office Depot last I checked.

I organize the baseball card sleeves by alphebetical order with tabs. I do have multiple sleeves for some letters of the alphabet, because some letters have more. I usually go by first letter in the name of the product. This section includes all coupons for food or things found at a grocery store ( toothpaste, meds, etc.)

I also recieve lots of restaurant coupons in the mail. I give these their own section. Only two tabs, with multiple sleeves.

I also have a separate section for "OTHER" these are coupons for oil changes, massages, usually services.

What do the coupons I refer to look like?

Well these are what the Albertson's Doublers look like. This came in the Sunday's paper as a flier.




These are some of the manufacturer packets that come on Sunday.

Don't throw these bad boys away! ( In my ignorance I used to do

that :() )
