As you all know, I have tried so many ways of organizing my coupons over the past 2 years.
I have finally found a METHOD that I am going to love!
I have been doing a smaller version of this, but am NOW PREPARED to do it all this way!
Above you will see the box that hosts 90% of my coupons!
This box has hanging file folders that are labeled with the insert date and name!
For example, the Red Folders are for Red Plum and then they have the insert date on them.
Most times with ad match ups, I am able to just pull the inserts and cut the coupons when I need them! I was so tired of spending SO MUCH time cutting and organizing coupons~
With getting 15-20 inserts a week, I do not have time to cut every coupon!
I do not regret ever using a coupon binder as it was a great tool to get me started. For those of you that swear by the binder system, GREAT!
I truly encourage you to do whatever works for you!
Everyone of us is different and that is why we work so well as a team!
Looking to get a binder, be sure to check out the Coupon Clutch system that I used for over a year~ Any loose coupons that I get from FREEBIES or in the Mail, etc, will be filed in my coupon clutch so that I do not misplace them!
I am anxious to hear your feedback on my new coupon organizing system!
hmm..that's interesting to see that you actually separate each type of insert. I put all of the week's in 1 folder. I actually use a box, binder and clutch..lol.
ReplyDeleteI use the box to store my inserts as they come in, each in a dated hanging folder. Including a folder for printables and Publix yellow/green flyers. However, I only get 6-8 papers a week. When I cut them for sales/matchups, they go in my clutch. If I don't use them for whatever reason (product sold out, etc), I move them to my binder.
I do a similar thing but I dont seperate each type as in ss, rp etc. I don't cut my coupons because one I find the match ups I go to coupondivas.com and use their coupon data base to check and see if anything else I need to purchase might also have a coupon. When you use their database it tells you which insert it came from and the date. You can search for a specific brand or type in a general item such as shampoo if brand doesn't matter to you! Check them out I love this database!!
