Tidy Up Tuesday: Coupon Binder

Last week, I did a post about couponing.  I also recently organized my coupons so I thought what better day to talk about that than "Tidy Up Tuesday"!  I'm also thinking of starting a link up party for Tuesdays.  Everyone can post their organizing projects!!  We shall see.


So, anyways, here is how my coupons were organized before.  An accordian file was just fine...until I had a couple week's worth of coupons cut out.  I was so tired of taking this to the store and digging for my coupons and having them fall out.  I was seriously a hot mess at the store!  I considered buying a coupon binder from Amazon.  But then, I remembered something.  I had used this Martha Stewart Binder as a planner before I got my Vera Bradley one.  I bought the blue Martha Stewart binder and then recovered it...see here.  When I switched planners, I kept it for some reason.  SO glad I did...it works perfectly!!


Martha Stewart Avery products from Staples, also has business card holder inserts....perfect size for coupons!!


I also bought the Martha Stewart Labels and divided my coupons up into groups.  This is how I did mine.  I ran out of business card holders...I will need to buy some more so I can organize my food coupons.




I always go through this and get out the coupons I will be using instead of taking it with me to the store.  That would be a disaster waiting to happen.  I can just see it now...coupons flying all over the place when the binder falls out of the buggy...again - hot mess!


How do you organize your coupons??

  3. I use a binder for my coupons, and then at Staples I found "coupon sheets" for the 3 ring binder. They are basically just like baseball card sheets. Works perfect. And then I got a little Velcro folder to put in the front, and as i'm in the store and taking things off the shelf, I take the coupon out of it's spot and stick it into the velcro folder. That way when I get to the register I have everything right together! Loveeeee couponing!!!

  4. What a great idea-- I use the accordian file for my coupons as well, I just dig out the ones I want before I go shopping and stick them in front. It works fairly well but I might have to check out that stuff from Staples...I have been meaning to anyway! :-)

    I returned the favor and am now following you!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Halloween Treats

For work gifts this year, I used these free printables  and these free printables  to make these cute little treats!  I had a lot of fun making them.  I dragged my poor mom and David around to so many stores looking for different colored Tic Tacs and eyeball candy.  I wanted very badly to make the Vampire Vitamins...who knew it would be so hard to find red Tic Tacs! I also made this easy Halloween Bark. What You Need:   1 Package Halloween Oreos Candy Corn 2 Packages Wilton Candy Melts in White Halloween Sprinkles - I ended up using different sprinkles than the ones in the picture...a girl has a right to change her mind, right? Pretzels - I stole these out of our Trick-or-Treat bowl because I felt like it needed something to offset all the sweetness. 1. Crumble up the Oreos.  I crushed some by hand, some in my food processor and broke some in halves and some in fourths.  Spread out on cookie sheet over wax/parchment paper.  Sprinkle candy corn
