How To Organize Your Coupons

by Cindy on January 4, 2010 · 131 comments

Okay, the long awaited “How to organize your coupons”  video is finally here.  You all get to come into my little office so I can show you a few ways to keep those coupons organized and easy to use. I’m a little nervous, I hope you all like it.  If not, be nice…I tried :)   And I probably should have waited till I lost my 15 lbs but I’ve been trying to do this for quite a while and who knows how long it will take to lose 15 lbs.

A couple of notes before you view:

  1. Sorry that it’s not perfectly clear.  It took us all day to get this going.  We are just not technically inclined that way.
  2. I say there are 5 inserts with 3 Smart Source & 3 Red Plum.  I obviously can’t add and talk at the same time.  There are 3 Smart Source & 2 Red Plum.

I hope you enjoy the videos and find them useful.  Below is a list of the divider labels I use for my coupon binder.


Divider Labels:

  • Free
  • Produce
  • Condiments/Sauces
  • Beverage
  • Baking/Spices
  • Cereal/Breakfast
  • Snacks/Candy
  • Dairy
  • Meats
  • Frozen
  • Cosmetics
  • Oral Care
  • Personal Care
  • Cleaning
  • Paper Goods
  • Medicine
  • Office Supplies/Household
  • Pkg Goods/Canned

Do the tabs come on the baseball card sheets? If not, is it a separate sheet that you use? Are they just tabs that you attach to the baseball sheets? Thanks!

My tabs did not come on the sheets, I use write on tabs that you can just stick onto the sheets. They are by Avery and very easy to use.

How do you remember expiration dates? I get very upset with myself when I miss an expiration date on something I really wanted to use.

I am not sure of how to get my binder separated now that I’ve only separated it by weeks. I have a lot of cutting and my smart source’s are never the same so i can’t just stack and cut.
Also, what would go in the “Free” category? BOGO coupons?

Wow!!! You have SAVED me. I am new to couponing and just started last month. And I am so OVERWELMED with all my coupon inserts. I am definitely going to follow your steps this evening. I have been on so many websites and you are the only website that I found that actually shows you how to clip and organize coupons. Thank you for sharing!!!

I am wondering how you make money from using coupons?When I use to work at grocery store, about a few yrs ago ,the stores policy was if the coupon was to end up giving the customer money back we were not allowed to do so thy were only entittled to getting the item for free.
