Yay, the binder method is what I use! (kinda, except mine are cut and into their cat. tabs) It is much more easier for me, I love it. I get really overwhelmed with the binder. It’s a little quicker for me.. since i can only coupon 2 days a week

great idea, but the binder is deff my favorite way. my sister and i have tried envelopes, alphabetical order, dates, but it never seemed to fully work for us. the binder is a bit overwhelming but if you just take the time to get it just like you like it it’ll be your best friend!

I started out dating the flyers and my husband bought me a work table. I still use that to store things till I clip. I have my coupons alphabetical in my binder. That way if I see something on special I can see for sure if I have the coupon. I know using the date system or categories works for others but the alphabet is for me.

I use a file box, but mine is smaller (about the size of a card box.. found it at Dollar General) I find it’s perfect for me. I section off each coupon – down to the individual item with note cards and lable tabs. It is small enough to come with me to the store. I don’t feel ashamed… I’m saving a lot of money and I’ve just started couponing.

Why can’t you take that to the store? I think that’s better than the binder. I’ve taken my big huge binder tot he store and it’s very hard to flip through in the cart. That would seem easier becuase it sits up rigth correct???

I like misticbutterfly’s idea I may do that!!! right now I have a GIGANTIC binder actually the one KCL uses, storted by date. it’s just so big and bulky I hate taking it to the store!!!

I use the binder method. But is was getting overwhelming for me to cut and try and fit 10 -15 of the same coupons into a slot. Plus I was growing out of my binder. I’ve already gone for two. So now every Sunday I get the same amount of paper,(8-15)depending what the coupons inserts offer that week. I take 4 inserts 4 RP 4 SS etc.. I go through and mark ea. coupons with the date and what insert they come from and the rest of the inserts I mark with the date and fill away. That way if I come across I really good deal and want to really stock up I can go to my filed away inserts and cut them out and I know which insert and date becuase I have marked them on my coupons i’ve put in my binder. It makes my binder less heavy and bulkie, yet I still have a good amount of coupons in my binder. And also take the filed inserts with me. that way if I am far away from home and theres a really good deal, all I have to do is go to my car and get the coupons. I really cuts down at the cutting time!!

Why aren’t we seeing videos from Joanie anymore? She ok?

I am a busy working Mom and for now this method makes the most sense for me. so I have a question: When using the file box method what does your friend do with printed coupons?
