Coupon Organizer
I am in need of a new coupon organizer. You know, the kind you take to the store with you when you grocery shop. Anyone have any wonderful ideas??????
A 3x5 card holder would work. You know, the little plastic ones. Or, check the office supply section for a little accordian style divided holder. I have one I keep receipts in. I just got a coupon organizer the other day at our commissary (base grocery store for all you civilians). They were giving them away with coupons. It was obviously from Dove since it had a big "Dove" sticker on the front! lol I also have a nylon one I've had for years. I can't remember where I got it (I do remember it was a mail order thing). Good luck.
I use a plastic organizer and then I place the coupons in small envelopes with the contents written on the outside, somehow it makes it easier for me to keep them all together. I have had all the coupons go all over the place because I dropped the organizer. If they are in small envelopes I just pick up the envelopes if I am a klutz. Makes it easy to sort once clipped too. I just put the envelopes on the table so I can see the descriptions and sort away.
I saw this awesome coupon organizer the other day at the grocery store. Another shopper had one that attaches to the cart handle. It sort of looked like a roladex style somehow, and also has a calculator attached to it. If anyone knows where I can find one of these, that would be great!!
My Target has the plastic (pretty see-though colors) coupon holders for $1. I don't know if you store does this, but right at the front entrance there are a few racks of items for $1.
That is the one I have now, the plastic one I got for a $1. I am looking for something that will help me organize them better and has more places for different coupons. I saw a few on e-bay and when I did a google there were a few more.
I found one at Wal-Mart last weekend that I really like. It is black and has 12 coupon divided pockets inside. It has the tabs you can write on and it has a zippered pocket on the outside front and a pocket on the outside back! It was around $5.
