Getting Started

I had my blog set up on Myspace but, this way more folks can read it if they want. I have my coupons in a large three ring binder that also zips and has pockets on the inside and out and an accordion file attached to the outside. I use dividers to organize my coupons in categories. I store my coupon by using baseball/business clear card holders. Each page has 9 pocket on it. You can find these pages at Walmart or an office supply store. I keep two pencil bags. One of them holds coupons that I find while I am out and about. The other I use for storing coupons that I pull out while shopping so, that when I need to checkout they are all right there. My catagories are as follows: HBA, Cleaning, Pet, Baby, Paper, Cold/Frozen, Drinks, Snacks, Canned and Boxed, Sauces and Spices. That is not they way it has to be done just what works best for me. You can have more or less. The accordion file on the outside contains categories for Store coupons (CVS, Walgreens, Target, mall type stores etc..) Restaraunt, sales ads, rain checks trade forms prescription coupons (all three are in the same file) ECBS Catalinas RR (all of these in the same file. I keep a calculator, pen, small pad of paper in one of the other pockets. Yes, my book can get really heavy at times lol
