Organizing my Coupons - insert style

I used to be pretty good at couponing. Now, well, not so much. It's a lot of work and I wasn't organized which wasn't helping. See previous coupon organization below:

Um, yikes. Since I was never able to find a coupon when I actually needed it I decided I needed to do something about it. And then about two months later, I finally did :)

It's quite simple. All you need is a crate, hanging file folders, sticky notes, and a sharpie.

When I get the Sunday paper, I take the coupon inserts out, write the date on them with a sharpie, label a new sticky note, put it on a folder and put the inserts in!

I keep the coupons in the inserts because then I know where to find them when a deal comes up! I check on my favorite couponing sites before I go on a trip, so that way when I go to a store I know exactly what's on sale and what coupons I'm going to use.

  1. I have been through many stages of couponing organization and I did something like this for a while. Now I cut out the ones I think I will use and keep them in a little organizer in my purse. I always felt like I had coupons at home that I wasn't using. We'll see if it lasts. I'm not good about cutting them out in a regular manner :)

  2. Ahhh I love KUPINS! I think they are fabulous. I found an awesome little organizer on clearance at Office Depot. My mom is a master at the coupon thing. I am envious of people who have time to really delve into the couponing world. Perhaps when I graduate college... that's a good goal after walking across the stage right?
