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 large binder for my coupons, I try to keep them organized but I have gotten behind lately. Stopping by from the blog hop.

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!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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! :-)
ReplyDeleteI returned the favor and am now following you!
