COUPON ORGANIZATION IS KEY TO SAVING BIG!
There are many different ways to clip, and organize your coupons. You have to find what works best for you. We've found our favorite way through trial and error and finally came upon the wonderful binder method!!
Supplies Needed
A Binder....make sure to buy one that zips up! We previously tried the non-zip ones, and one day while out and about the coupons decided to fly away with the wind!
Baseball card inserts - They will help you see all your coupon laid out in front of you. You can buy a pack of 30 at Walmart. Once you get hooked you will probably need more then one pack!
Dividers with labels so you can keep every coupon neatly categorized. Avoid the less expensive paper dividers as they tear easily. We highly recommend getting the higher priced plastic ones!
Other items stored in your binder should be a pair of scissors, envelopes, and a calculator. We label the envelopes for different store coupons acquired such as Target and Toys-R-Us.
Optional categories for your binder:
free
produce
condiments/sauces
beverages
package/canned goods
backing (spices, herbs)
cereal/breakfast
snacks/candy
dairy
meats
frozen
cosmetics
oral care
personal care
cleaning
air fresheners
paper goods
medicine
baby/kids
office supplies
misc.
I also have one for Target & Kroger and keep my Ari (baby) tab in the front. Hope this helps Katie.
I've taken more pictures of my loot but couldn't find any besides the above two. Both of the above transactions after rebates & gift cards cost less than $20 combined! I'm so hooked!!!

you are amazing.
Thank you for suggesting the dividers, I was trying to make tabs and they sucked! I am going divider hunting on Monday. Do you use categories or alphabetical?
I think she uses categories.
