I have had a lot of questions lately about the best way to organize coupons. So I thought who better to ask than YOU?! I think we could all benefit by sharing our ideas for making coupon organization more efficient, and well…organized!
I share my coupon organizing system here. It has now graduated to a filing cabinet, but I still follow the same guidelines. Once I clip my coupons, I use separate coupon organizers for each store where I shop.
Here are a couple of other coupon organizing systems that I thought might be helpful:
How about you? What method of organization works best for you?
I organize my coupons by which store(s) I will likely use them at. So all my grocery coupons go together, CVS and Walgreens coupons together, pet coupons by themselves, and Target & Walmart coupons together. Every week I take a half sheet of paper, fold it in half and stick all my coupons for that category inside then write on the paper what I plan to get that week. Each pack is held together with a binder clip. All the packs then go inside a canvas zippered bag so I can either take the whole bag into the store, or just one packet. It doesnt look very organized but so far it works for me.
I’m a binder girl myself. I really like having all of my coupons right in front of me so I don’t have to go through stacks at the store.
I’m pretty new to couponing (beyond the casual, occasional Sunday afternoon clipping), so my coupons aren’t organized at all yet, and it’s slowly driving me crazy…
