I sometimes have used an empty envelope to write my grocery list and then as I pull a coupon I have a place for it. Nothing more aggrivating than losing a coupon along the way. I have found that cutting my coupons with a paper cutter reduces the amount of time it takes to cut them out. I then sort them according to my categories and put them in the envelopes. Every now and then I go through them to pull out the expired ones. It just hit me that I need an expired envelope to put them in if I find them when I'm in the store. I don't do this although I should, but if you know a family on a military base, their stores will accept expired coupons.dorcashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501931139370194519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309485100634067166.post-90530193572329799992011-05-15T09:18:23.871-04:002011-05-15T09:18:23.871-04:00Stephanie I love the coupon organization!

I am looking forward to summer, when I intend to organize my laundry room for better stockpiling. I might begin to file uncut coupons at that point. Right now they would just add to my never ending clutter! :( <br />The most annoying thing is when I will be really excited about a deal, only to find that my region was not given a coupon! Ugh! What's up with that, anyway?Stephanie Lynn Burleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07653488867022534369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309485100634067166.post-73682983027830371432011-05-10T14:36:38.161-04:002011-05-10T14:36:38.161-04:00I am really getting into the coupon thing...but st...I am really getting into the coupon thing...but still am learning how to manage my bill once I reach the register. But with time I know I will get the hang of it. I have tried many different sites to help me accrue more coupons..but I always seem to run into SPAM. OH well, I will work it out. Happy couponing!!! I am loving the little "Stock pile" I have already started in my garage...will help and have been happy that I can even help out in our Post office food drive and also make a nice College Going Away bag for our Pastor's son who will go to GBS this Fall. :)Janella Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964519898308868877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309485100634067166.post-51123104660985113292011-05-10T14:23:11.622-04:002011-05-10T14:23:11.622-04:00You're moving up in the world, lol!! I starte...You're moving up in the world, lol!! I started out same as you, $1 accordian file in my purse, then moved to a binder. I use 4 x 6 photo pages instead of baseball card pages, a little easier to maneuver coupons into. This is what I've found after almost 2 years of couponing. I LOATHE spending SO much time cutting out, sorting, and filing. It took up so much time and at the end of the month I would end up with a huge stack I didn't even use. Then I'm thinking, "Wow, that was a lot of time wasted cutting those and filing them." So, now I'm going to do a combination of the cutting system and the whole insert system. I'm going to cut only the ones I know I'll use, the rest will stay in their inserts and be filed by date. Then if there's a great deal I can't pass up, I'll just use the matchups that the blogs provide to go find that specific coupon I need.Stephanie @ The Cozy Old Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06570129561305128679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309485100634067166.post-17844384674671747662011-05-10T11:05:32.701-04:002011-05-10T11:05:32.701-04:00Go girl!
