Also, it takes me to the site where there are A, B and C category coupons. sometimes the coupon doesn't exist on the list i am sent to. Has this ever happened to anyone? How can i fix this?

I am brand new at this so please forgive me, but I have a question regarding the information you keep for specific stores (Target, CVS, etc.)...can you tell me what this is again? In the video you spoke of not needing Flintstones vitamins for your personal needs, but keeping the coupons in case they could make you money somewhere else...can you explain this to me? Thanks!!!

I take the binders, I have two, and put them on the coffee table in the evening when we are all watching TV. I just go through and check them all. It normally takes me less than an hour. I also find this is a great activity to do when I am at the doctor's office, or waiting to have work done on my car. The time isn't wasted. Yesterday my car needed its 45,000 mile maintenance done. I was told it would take about two hours but it took four. They have a computer there for customer use. I started out checking around for deals I had missed during the week. Then I got rid of all expired coupons. I brought my stapler and sizzors and sat and clipped and filed coupons the entire time. I never ran out of things to do and now my book is up to date for a bit.

I originally bought it for my son to sort his Magic the Gathering cards, but he never used it. i don't know if they still sell it, but if they do, it is style GLIS measures 13 3/8" x 8 1/4" x 3 1/8". It has clear dividers to put in to create the small sections that most coupons fit into w/out having to fold them. I sort by areas of the store layouts I shop most frequently. It makes it so much easier to check for a coupon on an item I find on clearance or on manger's special not in the ad and all ready to go. The box fits perfectly in the seat area of the cart. I can keep closed unless needed so it does not get in the way and more easy to manage than a binder. When I have multiple copies of the same coupons, I paper clip them together while filed.

I have a few of the ones with just three pockets for larger coupons but I find most of the time, the coupons don't stay in them as well. I tried other sizes and didn't find them useful at all.

It took a little inventing but here is my method. I took a photobox, like you organize your photos and bought some label tabs and index cards. I organize very specifically because it's easier for me to find items and speedier. I have possibly 50?? different tabs. It actually looks very good and I find my system neat. It takes a long time to clip but, I think it's easier and I become more familiar with the coupons as I am clipping them. My only issue, bringing the box into the store. It's a little bulky. I just sit it in the spot for the kiddos and pile my purse on it so not to look too strange. No one ever thinks anything of it or looks. But, I wish I had something easier to carry in or less noticable! I think the binder would be just as big in size anyway. I often make my list now and just take those in with me in a small filing expandable folder, for easy access and then bring the box in for those improv deals. Anyway, great vid! I think whoever invents the handiest dandiest custom made couponing binder and sells it, will be a millionare overnight!
