I coupon organize with the Louis Vuitton box my purse came in!!! I keep the coupons in date order in the box and pull up Southern Savers on my iPhone in the store to see which coupons to use!! I LOVE the irony of using a Louis Vuitton box to organize my coupons!!!

I use a binder. I bought index dividers and trading card holders… like page protectors with pockets. I have sections divided into toiletries, oral hygiene, baby items, laundry, cleaning supplies, snacks, pantry, dairy aisle, meats, household, medicines, and other. Then in each section I have a page or two dedicated to types… for example in toiletries – I have a page for shampoos and another page for razors.

My binder also has pockets, and in the front pocket I keep my weekly sales ads, rebate booklets, and a small scissors… and in the back pocket I keep coupons for Baskin Robbins, fast food places, etc.

I am fairly new to couponing and would love to try this system!! Thanks for having the giveaway!

For at least 15 years, I have used a plastic Rubbermaid index card filing box that has a very secure latch and a carrying handle. I use index cards to separate my coupons into easy to remember categories, i.e. Cereal/cleaning products/medicine. Since I began trying your fabulous tips, I now go browse your site and the weekly ads each week, match up the coupons I have with the products that are on sale, and put those coupons into free greeting card samples I receive in the mail all the time. I use a different greeting card for each store and I write the tips for each store inside the cards.

I use a regular accordion fold coupon holder. I cut out the coupons for things I know I can get for a good price and put those in my coupon holder. I keep the rest of the coupons that are sent with the paper and write the date on the top so if there are extra cheap prices on those items, I can easily find them to cut those out as well.

I use a couponizer – but it is falling apart! I have used it for about 3 years now and it has been great. I would love to have a new one.

I use a 3-ring binder and photo slide-holders (like trading card sleeves but smaller) Got them from a yard sale! This thing looks perfect for my needs though.

I’ve been using an envelelope system for a couple years now but think it’s about time I graduate to something else!

I’m relatively new to couponing but I’m a sucker for organization so I use a three ring binder with baseball card holders. I have them organized based on the type of item, much like the aisles in a grocery store. So far it has worked really well.

I use a small coupon organizer, a photo album and zip lock bags labeled Publix, Kroger, Walgreens and CVS. The zip lock bags are used for each store. The photo album holds my stash, the small organizer fits into my purse – everyday, just in case.

Need a better system but haven’t really found one yet.

I just finished my coupon binder! I used a three ring binder that zips and has a detachable strap. The strap is very useful for hands free carrying around the store. I divided the binder into 25 categories and color coded each one so they are very easy to find. Can’t wait to put it to use at Kmart!

I used the binder method with file folders as tabs. They are organzied by Refrig, freezer, dry goods, canned, hleathy/beauty, pet, cleaning etc… My biggest help is when I am cutting and sorting the coupons I normally staple the multiples together allowing me a bit more free time in the organzation part of it all. With two toddlers around it can sometimes save me a ton of time. Once cut and sorted, I pile them in little piles according to my binder labels and file them that way. It would be nice to have something smaller to take on store trips with me instead of a heavy binder and two kiddos to boot. Thanks for offering this to us!

I have the medium size accordian file folder that is available at Wallyworld, but need a bigger system! If I win this one, I will be able to divide things up better… I’m planning my next coupon organizer to tack onto my over full organizer now! I have subdivided into categories that work for me, ie, can good, frozen, dairy, meds, etc and then sub categorize using paper clips within the categories. Crazy I know.. but smaller than the clear flip card thing that I have seen some use. I will read all entries to see how everyone does theirs! I love this site… thanks Jenny, you and your people ROCK! My friend told me today that she wanted to get shirts printed that said on the back, be patient, I have coupons! hahahahah! How cute!

<~~~~~~~The most unorganized person in the world. Not only do I want this I NEED this! :) (seriously)

I need a better system, but now I use a separate envelope for each store where I shop. Also, I put my printed and cut-out coupons into file folders by category. And I keep my newspaper coupon inserts in stacks, separated by sticky notes with each week’s date.

Thanks again for your awesome site! I check it several times a day!

I have a falling-apart folder for older inserts and a 3-ring binder with pockets for the newest (simply because they won’t all fit in one or the other). I keep loose coupons (failed to find at store, got in the mail, etc.) in a page protector in the middle, paper-clipped into three categories: restaurant/service, health & beauty, and grocery.

I’m currently using a 3×5 index card holder. It works fairly well, although I think it would work better if I purchased new dividers. I like it because I can have as many categories as I desire and modify them as I learn. Love you site!

I use an accordian-type folder for coupons that I use on a regular basis so that I can take it with me to the stores. I also have a small drawer below my printer that I use to store the remainder of coupons & inserts for later reference.

I also have the 3 ring binder with trading card pages to hold the coupons. HOWEVER, I have never taken the time to put the coupons in the binder!!…they are all still in regular white envelopes that are categorized. One day I’ll get organized….one day!

I use a 3-ring binder and page protectors. I write the date I got the newspaper on the front of each insert and then I put the insert into the page protector. It helps to locate specific coupon when I am making my list from the deals you have on your site. I also have your standard coupon organizer that expands, but I will be glad when the coupons in that run out because it is a real hassle to look through my huge stack of coupons for a certain coupon.

I have a small accordian-style folder that I use to organize my coupons. I have the different sections labeled to sort my coupons. I’m not happy with my system, though- I’d love to give the couponizer a try!

First, I file them by date and coupon circular. I DON’T CLIP UNLESS I HAVE A PLAN TO BUY THE ITEM!!

I use a canceled check file to organize my clipped coupons. If you click on my name, it will take you to a picture of the check file.

Also, if you go to my blog, in the right hand side, under “couponing”, I have a post about how I organize my coupons.

I could really use something to get my coupons organized. this sounds very cool…hope I win!

I use an accordian fold coupon organizer I found at the Dollar Spot in Target

I use a three-ring binder with baseball card inserts. I use plain old dividers to separate my sections. In the front of my binder I have two of those clear page protectors–one with the “buy list” from Southern Savers and one for printouts from Southern Savers. On the front of my binder I have a binder clip that holds all of my coupons and a list for each trip.

I love coupons. I have a coupon organizer now but it is not big enough and the coupons don’t sort out very easily. I would be so excited to get this new organizer.

So far, I organize my coupons in a three-ring binder using photo pages; but i’m looking for something else. My dad used to have this awesome box that came with a filing system, but one day he got mad an threw it away! I wish I had it now.

I use baseball card holders in a 3 ring binder. When I get the SUnday paper I take out the coupons and place them in Ziplocs that I have labeled..”Publix” “CVS” etc.

I’ve been doing this for only 7 weeks now and I’ve changed methods twice and getting ready to upgrade again! I have a canceled check accordian holder that has envelopes with catagories (Baby, Beverages, Breakfast, etc. ) for clipped or online printed coupons. Then I have a large accordian holder for the weekly coupon inserts subdivided by RP, SS, P&G and by month and date. (don’t clip these until I review Jenny’s coupon matches each week). Thinking about getting a file folder box with handle next for coupon inserts. The accordian styles will just not hold the weight and mass of these coupon inserts (especially when I always get a double paper on Sunday)

i’m a mess . . . i divide my coupons into food and non-food, then divide further into categories in #10 envelopes — but with a 10-month-old, a four-year-old and a freelance writing job i have fallen behind in clipping and sorting coupons. i’ve now alphabetized my food coupons in a 3-ring binder in paper protectors but they’re all floating around together. i need help! quickly!

I tried a small accordian file and it was too small for all of the categories I use. Then I went to envelopes, but they were loose in my purse and they kept falling out in the bottom of my purse. Then I tried a 3-ring binder, but it didn’t fit in my purse and I really like having ALL of my coupons with me when I go to the store so I can catch unadvertised deals. Right now I’m back to my envelopes, but I put them all in a gallon-size ziploc. It’s not perfect, but they all fit in my purse. I saw this online but didn’t have a coupon for it, so I wouldn’t buy it! :) Would love a chance to win it! THANKS!

I have a 3 ring binder that I punch holes in my printables and put them in there. I then keep all of my inserts stacked in my closet with the dates on them. I need some major help!

I have no system. I just clip and put in a ziplock bag. I am new to this and learning as I go.

I use the envelope system from MoneySavingMom.

I’ve been couponing for 4 months now and have just started to get several sets of inserts from family members. I needed organization quick. Rivers of coupons were flowing of my computer desk. The kiddos were having a great time jumping in the piles of inserts. This system has saved my life. If you did not want to cut all coupons, I heard of people keeping whole inserts (accordian file) in their car and only going to get them if it’s a really good deal. However, I found it really easy to cut several coupons at once by stacking like pages together and stapling the cut identical Qs together. In the time it takes to cut one coupon, you could have 4 or 5. Wa-la! HTH

Right now my “organizing” consists of separating my coupons into types (meats, home, personal care, breakfast, etc) and putting them into a ziploc bag. That is it.
I would love to have some sort of coupon organizer!
Thanks!

I don’t have a system set up yet at all! I have a big box (just bought a larger one) and I throw all the inserts in there. Then I have a couple of coupon booklets I got in the mail and I throw all the IPs and coupons I haven’t used into the front covers. I also paperclip the “really good” coupons and keep them floating on the top so I don’t forget to use them. I could really use some organization!!

I currently use a coupon book that my husband bought me for Christmas(real romantic, I know). He really thought I could us it since my old one was broken. He was right. I have a problem with it in that I can’t see all the coupons I have since it is a file type, however, it is not broken!

I’m fairly new to this, so for now I’m using envelops for each week’s coupons. Hope to find a better organizer :)

I have used the binder method. But with 2 small children and a full time job, I now just write the date with a sharpie on the front of my inserts (multiple papers) and cut only what I need as I need it or as it hits the list. I put that huge stack in a large reusable (cloth) shopping bag. When it is so heavy that I have to drag it, then its usually time to cull the expired ones…Thank so much for all your hard work.

I currently use an accordian style holder. I LOVE to be organized–and would love to try a new system!

I’m just getting started, but I’ve set up a binder with baseball card holders and dividers for my main organization, then when I’m going to go to the store, I make my list, pull the coupons I’ll need, and put them in an accordion organizer so I can just grab everything at checkout. Makes the trip much faster! So far, I’m really loving the results I’m getting doing this!!

I WAS using a three-ring binder with the baseball cards holders but then, AMY BERGIN, the designer of this system (The Couponizer)came to the Southern Women Show in my city, and I bought one of these and I LOVE IT! I would love another to give to my sister as a gift! Sure hope I win!

I also use the 3 ring binder with the baseball card holders. The binder is sorted by several categories. But I go just a bit further with the coupon organizing —- I enter all the coupons on Excel listing the Category, Description, Amount, Coupon Date, Source and Expiration date. With it being on Excel, you can sort and see in a glance what coupons you have. This way I don’t have to be flipping through my binder for each item while in the store. This system has worked really well for me. I have just started “couponing” in March after attending one of Jenny’s workshops. Thanks for helping me save money!!!

So I would say my coupon organization is a little like chaos…I use an old recipe organizer and have hand made cards to divide things up! I clip while watching tv, while my daughter is napping and really any time I can. I love it…it is totally a new obsessive hobby for me. I love your blog and look at it every day!

We use a binder that has 2 sets of 3 rings in it. We use the first set for edible and the second for non edible. We have plastic dividers and use 4×6 picture sleeves to hold the coupons. When cutting we use an accordion file and then transfer.

I’m just getting started so I organize my newspaper coupons by date in an accordion file. My internet coupons are organized with paper clips. I really need a better system.

I’m currently just using a coupon size accordian organizer but it is so out of control right now – I need to be more organized!

Love this site!

I am using a 3 ring binder with baseball card holders in alot of different catagories

I use a makeup bag for my organizing… see picture here: http://www.barefootsnapshots.com/images/my%20coupon%20organizer.jpg

It is roomy and ooh so easy to file coupons in when I clip them! I normally just put my credit card in it and go… that way I dont have to carry a purse and a coupon system, and it is big enough so that I can carry ALL my coupons to every store that I go to ! I chose the polka dots so that it looked more like a fun purse that some big ginormous coupon clippers bag…lol

I am using a big envelope. I would not recommend this method. I am new to all this and am amazed at how all of my fellow coupon users organize and search out all the great deals. You all are truly an inspiration. I am considering purchasing the 3 ring binder and baseball card holders. I am hoping to be considered a coupon queen of my family. Wish me luck. Thanks again for all the great information.

Lords Blessings to all
Brenda

I keep copies of multiple inserts in a file cabinet and label each folder with the date and insert type. I try to clip what I know I will definitely use and keep those organized in various categories in the 9-pocket card protector sheets in a 3-ring zipper binder. I also keep one single copy of recent inserts in an folder that is attached to my binder…I’m always behind and so if I happen to not get everything I wanted clipped before I get to the store or see something on sale or clearance I didn’t know about, I am prepared.

I also try to pull as many coupons as possible out before I go shopping and put them in envelopes according to the store I will be needing them at. I keep this in a mesh pocket inside the binder.

It sounds….and looks to most people, more organized than it is! In actuality it is more of an organized chaos…

I use small drawer organizer boxes to seperate the coupons by catagory.After purging and reloading the boxes, I transfer them to accordian file holders to take along.I purchased these in the craft area at Hobby Lobby.Brenda

My coupons can be found ummm… In my car, in pockts, in baskets, in boxes, in envolpes, in a file folder, in the bathroom, landry room kitchen, sons bed room, well I could just go on and on and well on!
Thanks jenny

I use a binder and envelopes.

I have a 3ring binder I’ve had since high school(1997) It has baseball card holders on the inside that was previously used to store pictures from high school classmates. I removed the pictures and inserted my coupons! The binder is on its last leg from years of wear and tear, the rings don’t even close together anymore!

I am new at couponing so i sort my coupons and put them in sandwich size ziploc bags…..i could really use this organizer;-)

I have my coupons organized in envelopes. I store them in a small plastic container. I’m looking for better ideas, though.

I made my own organizer out of an old address book that is 5″X8″. I sewed sheet protectors over card stock and then cut it into the 5X8 shape and made two pockets per side. I know it sounds kind of confusing but it works — other than the fact that I have a lot of coupons so it is pretty stuffed.

I use a binder and baseball card holders. I also have a 3 zippered pockets at the front to hold coupons I haven’t had a chance to put away, grocery lists/coupons I plan on using that week, etc.

I use a big 3 ring Binder that zips. I have pencil pouches labeled with each category and in this binder it also has a section that you can label and put in file-folders. It also comes with a shoulder strap to carry it.

My mother has been couponing since I was a young child. she has a coupon box that fits perfectly into the front of a shopping cart. it comes with premade index cards and an organizer spreadsheet on the lid that breaks down the categories. it is so specific, even some categories like cereal are divided by brand name…. kellogg, post etc. I have just ordered my coupon box from eBay and waiting for it to arrive!!

i only started “couponing” last weekend (Easter wkend, no coupons in paper!)- thanks to my dear friend who introduced me to your site! i have an old accordian bill-folder that was labeled by months. i replaced the month labels w/store names (target, harris teeter, etc) and i put that week’s bargain list as well as the specific coupons in that section. since i’m new to this, i also have a few general sections like “restaurants, baby, clothing” for some of my favorite coupons i try to keep and use. i can definately see how i will be “outgrowing” this system in just a few weeks. . . :)

I use a big 3-ring binder that zips (very important! lol). I put baseball card holders in to hold the coupons. They are separated into categories, i.e. frozen foods, paper products, etc. This system seems to work the best for me. However, I did see a new binder that I’m going to purchase. It has the regular binder, but in the front it has an accordian style holder as well! Perfect! That way you can keep any uncut coupons there and still have them on hand.

I would love this! I am not very organized yet being a newbie to couponing like this. I have several envelopes with coupons stuck in them. I make myself crazy because I know I have that coupon I need somewhere! I need some help!

Right now I am using regular manilla folders except that they are in different colors. Each sunday papers inserts go in a seperate folder and while I have many different folders laid out in front of me come time to cut the q’s out, it makes it a little easier bc I know that the 3/29 inserts are in the yellow folder, the 4/5 are in purple, and so on….Thanks for all the fun giveaways!!

My Mom Mails me her coupons, so since they are cut up, I start separating them alphabetically by grabbing whichever coupon is first and putting a colored paperclip on it. i then grab the next one and if it happens to be the same letter ass the last one, I add it to that paperclip. otherwise it gets its own paper clip. I only have to deal with 26 letters so eventually 26 small piles end up next to me on the couch. i usually do this while watching tv! I do not clip my own coupons anymore, since I use The Southern Savers Method, but my mom likes sending me hers so I am thankful!

I have only been doing this for a few months but a friend recommended that I use a picture album that has slots for 3 pictures on each page. That is the system I am using and it is working pretty well for me. Then as the sales come out each week, I have an envelope for each store I will visit and I pull the coupons and put a list in each envelope so that I am ready whenever I get to the store!! Thanks for all you do! Love saving money!!

I have sooo many coupons that right now I have to use a portable hanging file folder box. I really want to get a new system to keep my frequently used coupons in so I can take it in the store with me and just keep all my inserts in the file box.

I have two sorters and I keep food in one and cleaning and bathroom stuff in the other. I also keep past inserts in a file folder. I put all of that in one bag so that I always have all of my coupons no matter where I am!

I use a small nylon organizer and organize my coupons in alphabetical order. I’m kind of just getting started though.

Now into my 3rd month of couponing I am just using plain letter envelopes for individual coupons separated by category and placed in a shoe sized box. For the Sunday inserts I am using clear plastic page protectors. Not a great system but working for me so far.

I organize with various envelopes and categories in a shoe box… I hope I win I am always looking for a better way to organize my coupons!

Hey there,
I am currently trying the 3 ring binder with the baseball card holders…..not working that great right now….coupons tend to fall out!

I love my flex file folder. I have tabs for Red Plum, Smart Source, P&G, “other”, Printables, Cut Coupons! I carry it in my van always! Never know when you might run across an unadvertised item that I have saved coupons for!! Love it!

I keep the inserts whole & clip as I need them, but am always looking for a new way.

I’ve only been couponing for 3 weeks and I’m still setting up my system: I have a small accordian style folder with label sections that coupons for products I always use go, then I put the coupons for each store into an envelope with it’s own shopping list. It’s working ok so far but I drop things a lot. I’d love to carry it all with me for comparisons. I really need to save time, too. Please enter me in the drawing!

I have only been seriously couponing for a little over a month now. I have already evolved into organizing coupons into a plastic storage shoebox ($0.99 from walmart). I use big index cards as dividers and the system works great. I made my own categories so I know where each coupon is. When I add the coupons from that week I go through and purge the expired. I send them to my friend overseas whose husband is in the military. It’s a win win.

I use two medium sized accordian file folders. I keep half of the alphabet in each one. I organize all of my coupons alphabetically by manufacturer name. I include any store coupons or competitor coupons. Example: A cottonelle manufacturer coupon, a cottonelle target coupon, and a cottonelle publix coupon would all go in the “C” section together. I take all of the coupons I will need out before my trip to the store and put them into an envelope with that store’s name on the front. I only take the coupons I will need with me. Makes it easier when you’re shopping with little ones.

I would love a couponizer!. Right now I am between clipping and organizing in a file folder and just not clipping and organizing by date. I think this would solve this problem for me

I currently have my coupons in plastic sleeves separated by various departments. The sleeves are inside a binder. I have each weeks circulars inside separate folders along with each store individual special flyers/coupons. I keep everything inside of a BAMM bag and carry it with me on shopping trips in case I see something I don’t already have out in a stack to use for the store I am shopping in. The bag is getting pretty full and heavy….I really need tips to update system.

I organize my coupons in a 3 ring binder. I took clear sheets and made 4 pockets on each side by putting a piece of white paper inside then stapling it horiontaly and vertically. I then take an xacto knife and cut the bottom open on each side to make my 4 pockets so then each sheet has 8 pockets. Still working on perfection but it works for me now.

I currently have the old fashioned plastic organizer for all my clipped coupons on things i know i will use. The inserts from the sunday papers i put in a folder just in case a deal comes up for a freebie or almost free later that i can try something new on. I would love to try out a new system to keep track of them better.

I use a plastic storage container (size of a shoebox) and envelopes to sort my coupons. This works good for the large volume of coupons I have, but I’m also thinking about getting another organizer to take to the store.

I use a 5×8 photo box with 100 dividers. I actually use all 100 dividers to organize my coupons…they are organized very specifically (i.e. I don’t have one tab for “toiletries”. Instead, I have one tab for “shampoo/conditioner”, one for “toothpaste”, one for “soap/body wash”, etc. That way, I’m not sifting through ALL of my toiletry coupons if I am only looking for shampoo.

I have a really old coupon organizer that is now too full to close, so I could really use a new system!!

I use the three ring zippered binder with baseball card and photo inserts. I love it!

I use a picture box. I took Mila folder and cut them to make tabs I have them organized buy items and then I hve them rubberbanded buy date. I love the sound of this system. I need all the help I can get.

Three Ring Binder with baseball card holders for internet and mail coupons; along with folders to hold the weekly newspaper coupons (pre-cut).

Currently using the 3-ring binder with baseball card slots, though I am starting to outgrow it!

Sadly – right now since I am new to the world of coupons – my dining room table is covered in stacks. I have them seperated in zip lock bags by food, body care, paper products and dog coupons…lol…it sounds a mess and it is but I’m just getting started and will get to the point of being organized someday!

I use a 3 ring binder with the baseball sheets. I have colored dividers making my sections. It starts with non-food items then goes into a food section. It hasn’t taken long and you know what color the tab/section is you are looking for and can flip to it easily. I cut all coupons and put them in the appropriate section and slot with the newest ones to the back so finding expiring Q’s is easier.

I use an acordian file and i hate it. its too much work and i’ve been wanting soemthign else.
thanks for offering this giveaway!

I use a zippered three ring binder with pockets and baseball card pages inside.

I use an envelope for each isle.

I have a pretty purple binder filled with baseball card sleeves. They are all labeled by product and separated weekly. This makes it very easy to pull each week.

I currently don’t really have a “system,” but would love to have one. Right now I typically just sort them out by store, and use envelopes to hold them.

I simply use a cardboard coupon holder that has labeled pockets. It is my 2nd one that I have been thru since it is cardboard and is damaged easily. It seems to work for me though!

I dont! They’re all stuffed into 2 gallon sized ziplock bags. Food and non-food items. I really need a couponizer!!

I used binder with photo holders and baseball card holders.

i do not have a way to organize! would love to try this!

I currently use a leather zippered 3 ring binder with handles. I am one who buys several papers everyweek. I use 4×6 photo album refils to hold the clipped coupons. Each page can hold 6 when I add note cards to each slot. Within the binder I have page dividers to make 4 sections. (Food, health and beauty, cleaning supplies, and misc.) Also inside the binder is a pencil pouch to put coupons in that I will need at checkout, a calculator and a pen. The binder also has pockets for sales papers and of course the pages I print from this site! This works well for me and I can find everything at a glance!

I have a small accordian file to keep all of mine…. I’m definitely thinking about switching, and actually ran accross the couponizer yesterday doing a google search! How great that I saw it again this morning on your website! It looked pretty neat, and definitely a great way to organize WHILE clipping.

I have no system as of now and sometimes get frustrated with my lack of setup. If you grace me with the privilege of obtaining this magical organizer, you will find a special place within my money-saving heart!

Oh, and thanks for all the hard work!

I use envelopes and a plastic “shoebox”.

I am new to the couponing thing. Right now I throw all my coupons in a bin and before I go to the store I go through them and cut out the ones that I need. They then get thrown in my purse and off to the store I go. I would love to have an organizer so that I can better organize my coupons.

Currently, I organize my coupons in a plastic accordion folder according to their monthly expiration dates. When I go to the store, I put the ones I’m going to use that day in the front for easy access. A woman I met in Chick-fil-A one morning has a couponing show online and she showed me the Couponizer ~ I really want one! They’re a neat way to organize coupons.

I organize my coupons as I clip to save time. They are in detailed categories that match the tabs in my canvas carrier Bi-Lo sent to customers years ago. Rather than just HEALTH & BEAUTY, I have my tabs broken down to hair products, girl stuff, teeth, etc. Saves a lot of time sorting before leaving to shop and in the store.

I tried to use all items I already had in the house. I found a 4 x 6 index card box that my husband had used many years ago to organize boy scout rewards. I used all the index cards inside by flipping them where the side written on was towards the back. I cut and taped tabs to the top and labeled my different categories. I then found some thin envelopes that we had gotten for free and cut those to fit inside to make subcategories and to hold the coupons. I composted all the scraps. The box fits perfectly inside the cart where the small kids fit, and it is large enough to hold all my coupons.

I use the accordian organizer but would love to try this new system to avoid all the little piles!

I was using a small shoe box sized Rubbermaid box with the coupons in envelopes. Unfortunately, my box would spill in the middle of the store or at home or everywhere else. So, I changed a few weeks ago to a binder. However, I can already tell it is not big enough for all of my coupons! I am looking for a new method which is easy to tote around as I also have 6 children ages 5 months to 7 years with me to tote around as well! I am open to suggestions!

I currently use an expandable file with dividers. However, with children it becomes difficult to sort through while at the store. I often cannot find the coupon I need when I need it. I would love a better system!

I usually just file my inserts by date and then wait to see what coupons need to be clipped based on the blogs.

I use a banker’s box with hanging folders and plastic sleeves. Each week I put that weeks coupons in a plastic sleeve uncut with a sticky on the sleeve indicating the date. That way when I need the coupons from a match up I can go straight to them and clip them as I need them.

bunches of little piles, then sorted into a small coupon organizer. I need a better system!

I use the original coupon book with pre-labeled sections. It is bulging at the seams and I have replaced it several times. Now that I am getting store coupons (Wags, CVS, Food Lion, etc) I am either putting those in the very front or I have created a business size envelope for some stores and put the coupons there. I am trying very hard to be frugal because I lost my job about a month ago and would love to be able to stay home or work part-time so I can spend more time with our 19 month old daughter.

This organizer sounds like a great system. I would love to try it. Thank you for any consideration you may give me.

We are inundated with junk mail and I always recycle it… but I finally found something to do with all of those reply envelopes… sort my coupons. I have a different envelope for freezer, dry goods, dairy, cleaning stuff, etc… Then, before I go to a store, I grab a clean envelope, put in the coupons that I plan to use based on my list… write my list on the outside of the envelope and throw it in my bag. I have my list and my coupons in one spot. Of course, I throw the rest of the envelopes in my bag in case I see an un-advertised special. I would have just recycled them in the first place, now I use them and then recycle.

Way to go to the couponing mom that came up with the Couponizer. I wish you much success with it! I am also one that lays on the floor with piles of coupons all around me. It takes me so long each time I get my shopping trip organized and then again at the store, that I have gotten a little discouraged and have let my fridge get a little too low recently. It is so exciting to see the money we save, but it takes me so long to do it that I put it off sometimes. I am newer at couponing and my paper clip organization needs some help. I would love to receive a couponizer to save time before and during my shopping trip. Thanks and good luck!

I have recently begin coupon shopping. I have a large family that I have to provide for and it was getting hard to buy the extra’s unless it was on sale. I was shopping at WalMart thinking I was getting betters prices however after being told about your site, I have begun using coupons and shopping at the stores that douple and stores like CVS. I am saving money and have more in my cabinets and extra change in my pocket… Thank you for a great site and great info. each week.

I use a check organizer/small accordian file. I file them by expiration date. I need a better system

I have tried a few different methods, but right now all of my coupons are jumbled together in a shopping bag and not getting used. :( My son decided that my file box system would work better if he stomped on them. I unfortunately didn’t see it happening. What a mess! I am working on sorting them so that I can go shopping.

I have a three-ring enclosed with zipper binder that I have put labeled dividers and baseball card holders to hold and organize all of my coupons.

I have been using the couponizer for about 4 months now. It has its drawbacks but overall is a good system. I have a organizer at home I use for all of my coupons, but when I get ready to go shopping I take what I need and organize it in the couponizer. It works well for me since I go to several stores in a day.

I actually have 2 coupon organizers. My main coupon book is the address book that some company sent me free when I bought my house 12 years ago. It is a three ring binder that I removed everything from the inside except a few plastic index card holders and a ziploc style pencil holder that I keep some of my loyalty cards in. Then I took some of my scrapbooking page protectors and cut down to fit my book. I had to use my Foodsaver to seal the edges and once across the center to divide the page into for 2 slots to hold coupons. Total cost was about $2 for 50 page protectors. In that book I keep all my coupons that I know I am going to use. Then I have a second 3 ring binder that is a full size 3 ring bider that I have a combination of page protectors and plastic folders with pockets. In that binder I keep all of my packets of the coupons I did not clip and I organize each packet of coupons (I usually buy 3-5 papers) by laying out all the pages of the insert and matching them up page by page. Then I wright the date on the outside of the front page and stick them in either a page protector or folder in front of my latest pack of coupons. I used my sons old 3 ring binder for that one, so my cost to create that was about $3 for the plastic folder I got on clearence at Kroger.

I have a coupon divider that i’ve modified with a label maker according to the sections we most commonly use in our family. I try to put the ones to expire first, in front, that way i can make sure to check for deal on those items, hopefully, before they expire.

I use an accordion file and have my grocery coupons sorted by pantry/frozen/refridgerated section, etc. I also have one pocket each for Riteaid, CVS, and Walgreens so when I read the posts on Southern Savers each week I can put the matching coupons in each pocket and I’m all ready to go! I keep receipts in there too until I get my rebates.

Im a 3-ring binder person…with the baseball card sleeves
I use envelopes for some things, like cleaning supplies and baby supplies

I also use the 3 ring binder with baseball card holders. Its a nice zipper binder and I really like it. I have the most trouble with organizing the coupons.. stacks here and there..and I really need help…

I currently have been using a small plastic fold out that my gram got for me at a yard sale many years ago. that i put all of my coupons that are going to expire in the current month. Then i have a larger fold out that i think is suppose to be for checks that i have all of my other coupons. This has been something that i have been trying to find a better way because after reading all of your posts i have been finding out that i have been missing out on clearance deals. So i have recently picked up a new photo album binder that i have been trying to take the time to sit down & do. I am always looking for better ways to be organized. Thanks for all you do!

I use a 3 ring binder with clear plastic baseball card organizers. I put self adhesive tabs on the edges to label the sections. It’s so easy to see all of my coupons at a glance when I am shopping.

I started working at Publix 6 months ago and have been seeing how people are saving money with their coupons. Many have suggested this website. I started out with putting all my coupons in one envelope, but I didn’t know how to organize it. Now I just have a cheap organizer and I try to put things in by catagory…Dairy, cereal, snacks, cleaning, etc.

I am trying the three ring binder approach, but I usually just stick the whole packet in a pocket and think I will get to it later…

I file the inserts by date in file folders. My main problem is what to do with the clipped coupons I take to a store and end up not using.

i organie my inserts by writing the date on the top and keeping them in order in a old filing cabinet….

HELP ! I need organization. Thank you.

I use a 3 ring binder with baseball card holders. It’s divided in 3 major sections, FOOD, HEALTH & BEAUTY, HOUSEHOLD. Then organized alphabetically by brand.

I am using an accordion file with about 6 large pockets in the back that hold my full size, uncut inserts. These are labeled by date (one pocket per Sunday), with the exception of the back file. I use the pack pocket full sheet printables, Advantage buys, and others that are NOT from the Sunday papers.

The front of the same accordion file has about 6 pockets for canceled checks. I use this section for cut coupons. It is organized according to the type of item on the coupon (ex: refrigerated items, shelf items, frozen, paper products, toiletries, cleaning products, other).

I am currently (along with many others) using an acordian cancled check file. I have dreams of putting the coupons in some order based on store location (from my most commenly shoped stores) but with my lack of time, etc I haven’t gotten that far.

I am always looking for an easier way – I can’t seem to keep up with the changes each week and often find I’ve missed some good deals. It’s getting the coupons matched up with sales that I have the biggest problem with.

I just use a little accordion folder. Its certainly not perfect, but it fits in my purse. I wish it had more pockets though.

Well, I still use a little coupon book organizer thingie (like the technical terminology??) that fits in my purse, but I have to say, since using Southern Savers, I rarely clip anymore, just leave them whole and search for them when I want them. Thanks for that!

I use a three ring binder with sheet protectors, but I would love to try the couponizer for all the overflow coupons that end up in the bottom of my purse. Thanks for all that you do, Jenny!

I would love to win this item! I’ve only been into this for a couple of weeks and now I am addicted! I love walking out of a store with almost FREE stuff! Thanks so much. I use a combination of file storage box and envelopes for each store as I prepare for a trip. I don’t clip coupons in advance becasue I don’t have an organized way to store them (unless I win!LOL) so I just file the whole insert with the date written on the outside and when your site says “SS 4/05″ I go there and find the coupon and put it in the envelope for the store that week. System could certainly use improvement!
Patty

I use a Shoebox!! It houses all my envelopes. Not a very pretty setup…but it works fairly well!!

I’m new to coupons. So I would love to get the giveaway.

I would love to try this system!! I am using a 19 slot organizer box, with a handle on top for all my coupons sorted by grocery category. THen I have a slim 7 pocket vinyl sorter that has my store envelopes for after I have clipped and matched for the weekly sale. This I am able to carry in my purse, so I always have it with me. Each store envelope has my list, coupon matches, gift cards and ECB’s/RR.

I have 2 notebooks. One is divided into sections according to the type of circular(red plum,P&G,smart source etc). Each section has page protectors that I slip the dated circulars into. I had tried punching holes but found that some of my Qs ended up with holes punched in the bar codes. When I need to pull my Qs I simply go the the appropriate section, find & cut. The second notebook has all my store coupon policies in page protectors. I also slip my unused ECBs into the CVS sleeve. I have this book divided into sections (meds, health & beauty, paper & cleaning etc). In each section I have trading card holders that I have opened the divisions to make 3 sections per page. I use these to store internet Qs & any others that I have cut but did not use yet. I usually pull all the Qs I plan to use ahead of time & attach them to the store ad along with my printed shopping plan. This second book is the one I take with me into the store. With the extra Qs in this notebook I always have some handy for a backup plan if needed.

I use a coupon organizer – but upgraded to a bigger one after finding this site! My ECBs and RR go in the pocket of the notebook I make my shopping lists in.
This prize would be great – I still have a lot of couponing organization challenges to overcome! :)

I use my son’s binder and trading card plastic sleeves that he no longer uses. I have 3 divider sections. First, groceries, then personal/hygeine and lastly household cleaning supplies. Each trading card page holds 18 coupons. However, I double up coupons when I insert them if they pertain to the same product.

On Sundays when I cut my coupons, I place them into 3 piles for my 3 sections. I make sure that my coupons that will expire first are put in the front of each section so that at the end of the month, time isn’t wasted flipping through the whole binder looking for expired coupons.

I recycle envelopes – I use one envelope per store so that I can write my shopping list for that store and if I have a coupon for that item I put a “c” beside that item to remind me of the coupon.

I use a 3 ring binder with protective sleeves and dividers. Each week I label the inserts for the date, put the ss in a sleeve, rp in a sleeve, and pg’s in a sleeve. For the coupons I clipped but couldn’t use, they go into a file box separated with tabs for each category. It’s a pain sometimes, trying to remember if I’ve clipped the coupon already and going back and forth from binder to file box, but for now it’s working. My food coupons stay in a basket in my van console unclipped and unorganized, just there. I just started putting the date on the front of the inserts, what a time saver that is…something so simple as writing in a date! :)

I have a sad stack of manila folders with the months worth of coupon inserts. I could definitely use the organizational help :)

I have a large filer that I keep all of my coupon books in (filed by month) and cut out the ones that I want to keep with me (mostly grocery and baby). I keep those in a small file box that I keep in my purse.

This isn’t exactly a tips on organizing coupons, but it’s a tip on managing all the emails associated with the registrations necessary to print on-line coupons. I have created an email address I use solely when I register on sites to print their coupons. This way, my inbox isn’t full of emails containing advertisements. When I’m ready to think about coupons, I can log onto that email account and see what’s new from each company.

For now, I use envelopes in the pocket of a spiral notebook. I want to get more organized with it, but for now, it works.

I have only been couponing for 2 months but have saved lots of money thanks to you! Right now what is working for me is to keep the coupon flyers intact and to file them by date. With my three little ones & homeschooling I have yet to find the time to clip them all.

i put the coupons for things i use or would like to try in a coupon organizer from the dollar store. i put the rest of the pages of coupons from the paper that i didn’t clip in an expandible file by month so i can go back and find them later if there is an exceptional deal (like free!) listed on southern savers!

i have a small plastic coupon organizer from the $1 store. it has a few dividers. i could really use a system like this to keep everything better organized though.

Aleve 50 cents/bottle from Walgreens. Love your website!! Keep up the great work!

I just started doing this. I cut my coupons out and if I can remember to even take them with me they are just all together–not organized. That is why I am struggling with this and why I need as much help as I can get. Thank you so much for all the ideas. What a blessing this website is.

I use a coupon organizer but with so many coupons its getting difficult to manage. Need a new system! I and a newbie btw! thanks for you help Jenny!

First let me say I am very new at this… and feel very sattered. I could use this new couponizer because it takes me all week to get things togother to shop. I love that your site takes all the searching out of this or this would not work for me!

i too use the accordian file for my coupons and organize by category.

I use envelopes, one for each category (veggies, drinks, dairy, etc), with one envelope for coupons I ‘know’ I will use that day.

I’m new to the world of coupon, but I’m hooked already!! I use an accordion file (large one) for all my Sunday inserts. I write the date on the front of the Sunday inserts and then file them (uncut) into one of the pockets in the accordion file folder. I keep them separated by date.I use a small, accordion file for all my clipped and printed coupons. For shopping days, I place all my coupons in envelopes. (I have one for each store I’m going too) and then I write my list on the front of the envelop. I also carry my small accordion folder of clipped coupons with me…just in case.

I keep all my coupons unclipped, in a large accordion folder. I clip them as needed for each shopping trip, and transfer them to a small coupon folder that I take with me to the store.

I think my system would be called “organized chaos” but to anyone else, it would not seem organized. Coupons I think I would really use get clipped and put in envelopes. The rest of the insert just goes into a bag with all the other inserts. Then when planning for the week I’ll go through my envelopes and reorganize them according to the sales/stores and put those in a newer pile/envelope. It works for me, but I could use something easier to help save time.

at the moment, i’m using a binder with plastic trading card sheets. its horribly UNorganized right now as i’ve just recently started my new job as an RN (woohoo!) and haven’t had as much time to spend on my couponing ;) shame on me, i know…lol

I have really just started getting serious about couponing. In fact, I am working to teach my daughter the same tactics. We usually spend a half day on the weekend sorting coupons and strategizing which stores to hit first. We have decided a notebook with clear plastic sheet protectors works well for us but I am open to finding the “perfect” solution. Thanks for all your work in making our life richer!

I have no organized system. I keep my coupons in a drawer and have to hunt through the entire stack each time I want one.

We clip four papers a week and store those in a plastic bathroom organizer tub with a lid. Coupons are by grocery aisle with index card dividers. Extra copies of the inserts are stored in hanging folders in a legal-size filing cabinet by date and alphabetically by insert name. We print out a list of the coupons for each insert from the coupon database at the coupon mom website.

I have a blue plastic coupon organizer but it is way too small now that I’m trying to really use my coupons!

I use a three ring binder for clipped coupons, ECB’s, RR’s and rainchecks, a large hanging file box for the inserts that I date with s file sticker ( I don’t clip my Q’s unless I use them ), 1 small take-a-long coupon organizer and 1 large take-a-long coupon organizer so I’m pretty covered but would be interested to see her system and try it out.

Good luck everyone and thanks Jenny…I think your milestone deserves another giveaway !

I’m VERY new to this. I have an old desktop file box that I use to keep the weekly inserts in date order. I don’t clip the coupons until I see them on a sale match-up list. On folder holds all those pages of coupons I print from the computer.

I also have a 3-ring binder with trading card holder pages. I just started this system, so I’m just getting it organized and not sure how it’s working for me yet.

**I typically plan my shopping list, writing it on a folded piece of paper before I go to the store so I’m not spending a lot of time in the store spinning my wheels. I slip the coupons I plan to use inside the folded paper and use a paper clip to make sure they don’t fall out. This gives me my list and all coupons needed for my trip.

I use 2 plastic files, one for cleaning/beauty and the other for food/misc. I also have a small notepad that has pockets to put my weekly coupons in with my list. Thanks for all your work!

Sounds like a great organizer! Right now I am using a combination of the file system and a binder. I leave most of the coupons unclipped and use a binder for the ones I cut but did not use. Thanks!

I’m using an old organizer I bought years ago. I’ve kept it together with staples for a while and then had to hand sew it back together last week. There aren’t enough dividers so I would LOVE this tool!

I use a small organizer that is WAY too small. I’m constantly thinking about a way to organize everything and what set-up would work best. I could really use this product! : )

haha -organize? If you count that I put them in a pocket in my purse. I was going to figure out something this week, but this would be an awesome solution!

I just use the little accordian files. I have two–one for food items and one for other household items–cleaning, hair care, skin care, etc.

Ok, so I am new to couponing and desperately need an organizing system. Right now all of my coupons are in ziploc bags.

I have a Case It Binder that has baseball card holders and I file all the miscellaneous coupons I print from different sources, peelies from grocery products, etc., organized by product type.

I have hanging file folders in my desk drawer with each date tabbed. Inside each folder is that days inserts. I also write the date on the front of each insert just to make sure. When I’m ready to get my coupons together for a shopping trip, I cut what I need and leave the rest.

When I go shopping, I put all the coupons I’ve clipped for that trip in its own envelope – CVS, Walgreens, Target, etc. – along with a list of what I’m purchasing, how much the regular price should be, the coupon amount I have clipped and what the bottom line price is. This way, I don’t mistakenly pick up the wrong size item and pay more.

I have just started using coupons because my wonderful niece told me how me she has been saving. It is exciting and addictive. I would love something like this to help me get organized.

My coupon orgainnizer now is a cancelled check organizer that is falling apart. I have seen this system before and would love to get it FREE!!!

Thanks!

i use an expandable folder i have 3 large. One for each type of insert. I write the date on the front of each insert because i buy more than one paper. i then cross match with the store ads to see what will be free. i also use your wonderful site. i dont cut until i know for sure i am going to buy th items, for those i use an envelope and i write my list on the evnvelope it self. for the coupons that get cut but not used i use paperclips and another smaller file for cut coupons. it has worked great for me.

I have recently changed how I organize my coupons. I did use, up until a couple of months ago, a small accordion style cardboard filer. I made tabs for the top of each section to divide my coupons. It was easy to organize but a pain at the store when I had to sort through all of the coupons in the freezer section to see if I had one for green giant vegtables.
So now I have change to the plastic photo albums for 4×6 pics. (Bought 3 of them for $1 each at Target) I can see all the coupons while quickly flipping through the albums in the store. Takes longer to organize before-hand but now I don’t spend 3 hours in the grocery!

I have a worn out plastic coupon organizer. The best thing that works for me is my front pocket that I keep empty for the coupons I pull out for the current week. I am in need of a more updated version.

I have recently become addicted to using coupons. I currently have a small tote that i had originaly bought for me 5 year old to keep his legos in, but you know how that goes. Now i use it to keep my uncut adds in, i wtrie the date on them and seperate them based on circular. I also have 2 quart size ziploc bags that i keep around all the time. One is for my lists, which i paperclip my coupons i am going to use to, and the other is for odd coupons that are either expiring or have been clipped and not used. I have had several comments about my system, but it works for me, and it doesn’t cost anything. I do wish i had something like this, i like the idea that it will help seperate based on store location.

i use a 13 pocket check file and separate them by category. I am new at this and I don’t have it down pat yet.

I use a cheap accordian style file that I purchased! I’m new to couponing but my file is already overfilled!! I enjoyed reading how everyone else organizes b/c I need a new system already!!!

I really do not havge a good way to organize my coupons. That is my problem. I hope I win!!!!
Lindsay

I am new to the whole couponin thing and right now I use the cheap $1 organizer. I am looking for a new way to sort them for faster servicing. I have the coupon bug now and have passed it on to at least a dozen of my friends and coworkers. I would love to start a coupon swap. So if I win I can also test out this product and pass on my thoughts to my coupon friends here.

I have bright blue plastic expandable file from office depot… I love it.. its about 8 inches long and 4 inches tall… comes with a rubber band that is attached that keeps it closed… I love it… my teenager “hates” it

I keep mine in a binder and clip when needed and place into envelopes.

I am always looking for a new coupon organizer. I am using one I picked up at CVS in their dollar days merchandise a while back. Naturally, it doesn’t have enought compartments. Before each trip to the Fab 3: Publix, CVS, and Walgreens, I write out a list on an unused bill payment envelope, insert the corresponding coupons and take both items with me.
This giveaway would be a great 19th anniversary present: April 28th! Thanks for everything, everyday.

I just have a folder that I keep the coupon booklets in. I cut out the ones I’m going to use and put them in envelopes for the specific stores they’re for. An organizer would be nice.

I use a binder and put the coupons in baseball trading cards sleeves. that’s the best method I found for myself. It gets crazy trying to organize all the coupons.

I clip my coupons every week but I dont have a method on how to organize my coupons.

I have been using a small (thick) photo album, but am finding that it is getting too bulky and would REALLY love to switch to a binder system. This looks like a great system to me.

I use a check folder, organized by month, for sorting the coupons the first time around as I clip them from the Sunday paper. Then I just follow the expiration dates. If I know I need a product right away, I set that coupon aside with that week’s shopping list. Since I only clip coupons for products I normally buy, I’m aware if I have a coupon that I can apply on BOGOs, for example. I also check Southern Savers every week when I’m making my shopping list. It’s great for alerting me to savings I might have otherwise missed and tipping me off to online coupons!

I just started couponing today, so my system consists of a file with this week’s ads. I will definitely need a better way once I get rolling with a nice stash of coupons. BTW…I saved $90 on my first day out!

I use one manilla envelope for each week and I write the date on the outside.

How do I organize?…. well, let’s just say I could use this prize! :)
About half of mine are organized by date in my coupon cabinet.

I use my dining room table as my coupon organizer. It seats eight so I have plenty of room to spread things out across the table by store, date, and deals. The only thing that stinks is I cannot take my table with me to the store and as I yet to have found a coupon booklet worthy I will continue using it as needed.

I went to my first coupon workshop yesterday. As a newbie I haven’t really decided how I will organize my coupons. I’m thinking three ring binder with see through sheet protectors for my inserts and individual envelopes for my “gotta buy it now” items until I can get a few weeks put together and get the hang of it!!

I have 2 mini binders that I carry around in my purse. I use 2 because I can’t fit them all in 1!

I use an accordian orgainiser and sort it by store and date but would like to try this new one.

Thanks for your post. It is a tremendous help!!

I use envelopes and i have them labeled. For example-CVS,Wal, Walmart, Body, Toothpaste, Grocery, Hair, etc. It works but i would love the coupon organizer!!

I use a file box with the sunday flyers organized by date… and a coupon organizer for my internet or cut coupon – filed in alphabetical order by brand.

I have mine in a photo box…I used plain white envelopes, cut the tops off and stapled index cards to them…..labeled them with different color Sharpies.
Thanks for the COUPONIZED offer it looks like a great way to organize coupons.

I really need some help organizing my coupons, but for now I use one filing organizer to sort my Sunday coupon fliers and one smaller filing organizer to file my cut coupons and take to the stores with me. Thanks.

I cut them out and stick them in an envelope in the approximate order in which I shop around the store.

I am new to couponing, but to try to keep up with what I have I have a stack of envelopes in my purse and I have them labeled like frozen foods, cereals, baby products, etc…and then I put the coupons for that category in the envelope. I’ve only been using this system for 2 weeks now so we’ll see how it works. Thanks!

I’m just getting started so I organize my inserts by keeping them whole and stack them by dates. And my internet coupons are all placed inside of envies. When a sales comes up I just check the dates on the inserts and cut out the ones I need.

I have organized my coupons both by the binder method and the insert method. I realized what I needed was both, so this is what I did:

I bought a three-ring zippered notebook from a discount retailer which has small expandable sections on the front of the notebook. The loose coupons I receive I store in the baseball card sleeves organized according to product type on the inside of the binder. For me, it’s the best of both worlds.

I keep the Sunday circulars and label them and file them in a large shoe box. I clip the other Qs from magazines, mailers, fliers, etc and have them in a small plastic accordion file. Works for me, but would love to try a new system.

I used to use a cheap paper coupon organizer that I picked up for a dollar. But that fell apart pretty quickly. So now I use a little photo book that I got as a shower present. The coupons are grouped inside of it by grocery, paper products, etc. I write on a sticky note each store and what I want to get/coupons to use there for the week and keep that in the front. It is working for now, but starting to get a lot of coupons in there!

I organize mine the way that MoneySavingMom has posted on her website. I use a small plastic box, envelopes and index cards. Seems to work pretty well for me.

Okay, this is pathetic. I’m only into this for a few months, so I haven’t quite found a good method. I have a binder with page protectors. I organize the coupons into categories: Baby, groceries, household, personal, cereal. Each week I review them to match the sales and discard any that have expired. Not ingenious. I did get Madagascar 2 for $1.99. That is my crowning achievement so far!

I am in the middle of trying to “re-organize” I am leaning toward cutting all my coupons, separating them by grocery and drugs, and just filing them in a photo box in alphabetical order. Ugh! This would be very helpful.

I am using a plastic “shoe box”, the lid stays on most of the time, I used constution paper that I folded and cut for each catagory. What I need is a better place to keep the coupons that I want to use as soon as they are on sale and BEFORE they expire even if not on sale b/c we use it every week. HELP
I so enjoy your site and tell EVERYONE about, we are loosing a lot of jobs in our area and this is just what we need, THANK YOU!!!

My accordian style organizer is overfilled and doesn’t have enough pockets. Would love to try this one out!

New to couponing as well; but I had a photo box that has dividers you can write on and wipe off. It fits right into the front seat of the grocery cart so I can thumb through like a tiny filing system. I like the box because it holds the longer coupons. I am enjoying reading what categories I need to add!

I just got started into “Big Time” couponing, but am still using a small accordion-style coupon file. I’ve added in my own dividers to better catagorize my growing stock of coupons. I am hoping one of these days to “graduate” to a 3-ring binder that zips up full of plastic sheets with pockets (the kind made for trading cards). I’d like to give the Couponizer a try!

Currently I use hefty ziplock bags stapled together at the bottom to organize my coupons into categories. Has worked for me for several years. (and is inexpensive to replace once the zippers quit working.)

I use an accordian style coupon holder that I got at Target. It holds the coupons in the various sections that I have sorted by type.
It is not perfect, but it works okay for me.

I use a 3 ring binder with clear pocket pages (all different size pockets). I have them divided by sections. I also have a folder that fits in the notebook for my sales papers. This great to organize the coupons , but it is too big to take it to the store. I have only been doing this a few months-so I have just had my coupons paper clipped together. This can be very hard in the store. I need something to help me organize my store trip.
Thanks

I had a HORRIBLE thing happen to me this past weekend. I had spent hours and hours organizing my coupons in a three ring binder. I had a great system and a great collection of coupons I had been saving up. I was really getting the hang of couponing thanks to your site. But this past weekend I had left my binder in the car because I always like to have it with just in case. Someone broke into my car and stole my binder and some other odds and ends. I could not believe it!! I have been literally sick over it. Everywhere I go people comment about the binder and love it, but I guess somebody REALLY wanted it. Oh well, I hope they get good use out of it. Needless to say I am back at square one again couponless and coupon organizerless. I promise I did not make this story up just for this contest. I only wish I had made it up! I miss my Binder!! Please help me! :o)

I use the binder system and also try to enter all my coupons into an excel worksheet as suggested by my friend Tammy(#85)…stess the word TRY on entering the q’s into the worksheet. I am really good at getting them into the binder, but struggle to get them entered into the worksheet. When I was first starting out I used a small accordian file made for coupons…I always found myself “sorting” thru my little accordian in the middle of the grocery store with that system. Now, with the binder and baseball card holders I basically can remember hey I’ve got that coupon and can flip right to it. I am still very envious of your binder Jenny…I saw it at the seminar you did in Atlanta on March 14th.

I use a binder with trading card pages to hold my blinkies and internet printables. I don’t ususally manage to clip all my inserts (I’m very preggo with baby number 4) so I keep my inserts in plastic page protectors in the back of the notebook, labeled with the date. Combining these systems has worked very well for me. If I am able to cilp them, then I organize them into my trading card pages. If not, I just clip as needed based upon the sales for the week. A couponizer would be helpful so that I could pull my coupons from my large binder and then organize them into the couponizer in preparation for my weekly shopping trip. Coming to the store with the binder is a pain!!

I use two medium binders. One for all food, the other for toiletries. I would love the couponizer for going on my grocery trips. Thanks for all your kroger finds.

I use file folders for storing q’s but this would be great to use for q’s that are not in inserts. Or it would be a great giveaway to someone that I introduce to the “couponway”!! LOL

Thanks for all you do….

I am pretty organized, but when it comes to organizing my coupons, I’m still a bit of a mess, so something like this sounds great. I currently use file folders and file the whole coupon book two months at a time(ex. SS – Jan – Feb). Unfortunately, the coupons I’ve already cut are loose in a file folder, so I have to thumb through them each time I go to the store to make sure I don’t miss anything. These are coupons I cut intending to use them, but then ended up not using them.

I have a 6 month old son – my first baby – so I’m slow at getting all of this organized, but have LOVED getting into couponing. Thanks for saving us a bundle, Jenny!

I am still trying to come up with a system that will work for me. I think I need some help:) I have coupons in my purse in a large expando folder and a small expando folder. Not very efficient.

I am new to this whole couponing idea but love it. Would love to have an easy way to organize without the bulk of a three ring binder. This product look like something that could work for me.

I have used a plastic index card filing box that has a very secure latch and a carrying handle. I use index cards to separate my coupons into easy to remember categories, i.e. Cereal/cleaning products/medicine.

Hi there! I am brand new at clipping coupons and NEED HELP to organize them so I can be a smart coupon shopper! I would love to have a system like the couponizer
