I just use a plastic baggie – keep all the coupons in there and go through them before a trip to the store. I’ve found that most of the time it’s the same kind if coupons I’m using each time – only a few since I use generic too. Yes, I forget once in a while, but we save enough to pay for the paper, which my husband wants. I don’t use an organizer because I never take the time to put them into categories. I just go through the stack.

I use very few coupons because most of what we buy is generic. But when I do buy a name brand, I search for coupons on the web and print them out. Then they are a full sheet of paper. I just keep them all stacked together and pull out what I need right before a shopping trip. I tried buying the Sunday paper for awhile and using a coupon organizer but I saved very little money for an awful lot of time.

I’m glad that your job is going really well!!

I also have the Target coupon organizer. I have 2. One for food coupons and 1 for everything else. The sections i have broken down similar to Renee (Breakfast, Fruit & Vegetable, Meat, Freezer, Dairy, etc). I have store coupons in envelopes (Wags, Safeway, etc). I keep these in a basket on my counter.

I bought a coupon organizer for $1 at the Target Dollar Spot. I’m sure you could find one somewhere like Dollar Tree, etc. They have tabs separating the sections, so I have one labeled “Beauty”, another labeled “Frozen”, one labeled “Fridge”, etc. The organizer is small enough to fit into the front of my silverware drawer in the kitchen. I just go through it before I go to the store every week.

Good luck in the new job! That’s good that people are being so welcoming.
