I have kept my coupons for years in this blue rubbermaid box. I loved it because it has a plastic divider that I can adjust to accomodate the amount of coupons I have, but it was a little bulky. The plastic divider thing got bent and now won't stretch enough to hold my dividers in place and I can't find another. Regular file boxes and coupon holders are too small- I use a LOT of coupons! I need to think outside the box, any ideas?

a photo box with labeled cardboard dividers to organize your coupons in it?...although you probably couldn't take it shopping with you that way...

No suggestions, sorry. But I would love to know where you get all of your coupons. If you could give some ideas I'd appreciate it.TIA

Take a look at your scrapbook stores. They make great things for holding papers and photos. There is even one for negatives that is pretty lightweight, but about half the size of a shoebox.

Or, you could just use a shoebox

While watching TV, I clip every coupon I find, and simply keep the ones I know I'll use, in rubberbanded groups, according to date. The day before I shop, I write my list, and go through all the current coupons. Sometimes seeing one will remind me of something I forgot to put on my list. I go to the store with only the coupons I intend to use. All the extras I clip get shared with friends.

Tsa, I get my coupons mostly from the newspaper. I live in a small town, so I buy the "big city" paper on Sundays because there are more coupons and/or a better deal. lately there have been some for just plain free stuff so if it's worth it I get more than one. I also have signed up on nearly every mailing list for companies I like and they sometimes send coupons. I give coupons I know I'm not going to use to friends and relatives that might and we trade. I sometimes email companies if I like or dislike something and sometimes they send coupons, but it's just a bonus. If someone makes me mad I tell them and I like to tell them when they did something I like.
