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??

    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!!!

    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

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC.  Yes, it's true.  I have apparently been living under a rock.  In a bubble.  Something!!  I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try.  And O.M.G. I am so glad I did.  Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh!  4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29???  It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!!  I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty!  They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection  and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers.  I guess I should've gotten a picture bu...

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people....
