Organize your coupons!


Keep on clipping! 



There is nothing more exhausting than fumbling through your purse trying to find recently cut coupons And dealing with your kiddos or those crazy power shoppers who storm around the store like a tornado! After several trail and error methods I found a system that works. As always my trusty 3 ring binder but now with baseball card inserts. Not only are ALL your coupons visible they are also organized. Simply use the dividers for appropriate sectioning according to your shopping trends and voila! Convenient and easy.


Other methods of great organizing!
