How I organize coupons for EASY in store use!

[29Essan]

awesome :)

[uniquelyurs2b]

I like this way of sorting, I try to the the same thing, but some times the coupons get piled up on me and i have to spend half the day sorting and cutting, lol

[TonkaLopez]

are you in california?

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@TonkaLopez No

[Tullipps]

I buy coupons on ebay. I also use the currency plastic sheets with my baseball. The slots are larger and it works better so you see the complete coupon in your binder and don't have to fold them. Make sure when you buy on ebay they are from the sunday paper not copied coupons. There are some frauds out there.

[nybsbfan18]

how much do the baseball card holders cost?

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@nybsbfan18 I believe they are about $5 for a pack of 300+ slots

[nybsbfan18]

@carlynicoleelliotte ok i'll look into it. :) thanks!

[krazie1219]

i use the same system and you can double up your pockets if you make a card stock type divider. make my binder less full doing it that way.... just a tip for my coupon lovers!!!!

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@krazie1219 GREAT tip!

[brandon420z1]

45 ummm s in the first half of the video probably over 100 in the whole video....please stop with the UMMM s it is very annoying and distracting...

[lavah68]

very helpful thanks

[kmac0629]

Great idea! I love the baseball pages so you can see what you have without having to go through a stack over and over. Thanks for sharing

[2013hotty]

If i payed you for your cat coupons could you send some my way we hardly get any here and i try to give some cat food to the animal shelter and i have 2 cats if not thats ok.

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@2013hotty Send me your address and if I can remember I will send them your way. No promises though, I have a lot on my mind usually and may forget. Remind me though because I don't mind at all.

[livisgotbieberfiever]

@carlynicoleelliotte I get 7-9 papers because my brother has a paper route and we get alot of baby product coupons and if it would be okay i could send ya'll all of my baby product coupons cuz the baby in my house is 5 soo we have no use for it and I dont want to go to waste!!

[cakecatering]

Y dont u organize it the way the store is design. Front is produce, back is dairy & frozen etc.

[QponCutie]

@cakecatering I can't speak for the woman who made this video, but the reason I don't organize that way is because I shop at several different stores, so no two layouts are the same...

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@QponCutie That's the same reason I don't organize by isles. I go to too many different stores and they all are set up differently.

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@cakecatering Not all stores are set up the same and I shop at several different places. One store has dairy up front then produce, another is produce, frozen, dairy, then one is produce, dairy in the middle and frozen in the back. It's too much to do it by isles when you shop at different locations.

[FluffyWuffypuppy]

Nice video. Good tips. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@FluffyWuffypuppy Thanks for watching! :)

[QUEENCOOK15]

how long does the coupons last

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@QUEENCOOK15 It depends on the coupon. Some only 30 days and some several months.

[daylanrayne]

@carlynicoleelliotte Piggly wiggly gave me manufacturers coupons good up two years so it varies.

[TLS61]

Quick tip: Instead of a envelope you can put them in a pencil pouch at the front of your binder and save your pocket for ads to price match.

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@TLS61 I put my ads in the back pouch! :)

[burndog79]

This is for real?

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@burndog79 yes, why?

[eugenemarie1]

Thank you SO much for making this video, it was very helpful! One question... If you have 2 of the same coupon do you put both of them in one pocket or each coupon has it's own pocket? Thanks again!

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@eugenemarie1 If they are the same and they both have the SAME exp date I put them together. If they are the same but have DIFFERENT exp date they go in a different pocket.

[twinkers760]

hi my name is lisa and i just stumbled upon your video and i gotta say WOW !!!! you make the binder thing look oh so simple. see i have the binder that zips and i am thinking of changing to one like yours cause it is somewhat smaller, but one of my things is that here in northern new jersey, not any (that i have seen here) women go shopping with their binders in tow. i would be like the only one in the store doing this and since the show xtreme couponing came on i don't want to look silly

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@twinkers760 You know, it's funny you say that. Before I started using a binder 2.5 years ago I never noticed other women in the market using them either. As soon as I started using mine I noticed tons of women using them. At first I too felt silly but then I though WHO CARES? I'm saving money! Trusts me, you won't look silly, you'll look SMART! ;)

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@twinkers760 Oh and BTW, if you get a chance you should stop by my YouTube channel and check out all of my open giveaways! :)

[NewMomMae2011]

I have seen other people in the grocery store doing it this way. I am definitely going to try to do it this way. Thank you for this video! :)

[LuisLuna771]

is the binder giveway already over?! :(

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@LuisLuna771 Yes, sorry you missed it!

[Tangirl42]

kinda boring.



[carlynicoleelliotte]

@Tangirl42 O'well too bad you feel that way. Hope you have a great day! :)

[BellaCinco]

how do you get two of the redplum coupon bucklet?

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@BellaCinco Sometimes I get more than 2. I usually buy 2 papers and then family and friends give me their coupons. Keep watching my channel b/c I am about to giveaway a coupon binder that is already organized with OVER $250 worth of coupons! :)

[araceli3912]

thanks great tips

[Chelle1683]

Thanks so much for sharing!

I've recently gotten back into couponing and my total disorganization of my coupons has been driving me nuts! I'm so excited to run to walmart tomorrow to get some baseball card holders!

[ginagurl79]

I <3 coupons, but then i forget to use them :(

[MamaZenful]

Smart! I want to start "couponing" more! You are so inspiring, Rach :)

[mina247]

Great Video! I need to make my video like this :D

[Tashakcooks]

Great system! I love me some coupons.

[smleblanc1]

Great video!! I'm starting to get into coupons but I am finding it so hard to even find good ones! and I'm not sure about the US but in Canada a lot of our coupons say "not vaild with any other offer" and to me that means you cant use it with sales..so then you dont end up saving very much money.

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@smleblanc1 I don't know that I have seen coupons say that. Some of ours says DO NOT DOUBLE but if the bar code starts with the # 5 then it will still double. I wouls send you the sones I don't use but they are only good in the US.

[mikiecass]

Great idea I may have to try that. my husband is always so annoyed with me in the store when I'm flipping through my coupon holder looking for one.

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@mikiecass Haha! My husband doesn't even go with me.

[CouponDivaDesirae]

Great job!! I am a couponer too! I am actually going to be on the new TLC Extreme couponers show. If you check out the commercials I am on there :)

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@CouponDivaDesirae Awesome!! I haven't even heard of that show! Is it something new? When does it come on? Gosh, I really don't even watch much tv. I will sure watch that though!

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@CouponDivaDesirae WHOA! I had no idea you were from K-Town until I was looking at your blog! I use to live there too! I'm in CLT now though. Small world!

[14loppy]

@CouponDivaDesirae I saw your show! Amazing :) I never tried using all the things they gove away for birthdays. Will definitely do that fromnow on!

[JeythonsMommy]

I do the same thing...it really is a lot easier to do it takes longer to set up, but u save so much time in the store its well worth it especially if u have children with you ect..

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@JeythonsMommy Exactly! I spend MUCH less time with my binder.

[jennad82]

Greta video! I am starting to get into the whole coupon thing and love it! This is great because I am always forgetting coupons at home or cant find them.lol great idea!

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@jennad82 This way you will NEVER forget a coupon! Well unless you don't put them in your binder as soon as you get them.

[ReillyAJ]

wow you are a dedicated couponer! its such a good way to save money!

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@ReillyAJ Yes, I am! I love to save money though! ;)

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@billyCtv Thanks! This isn't a new camera. ;) I just didn't use my webcam. When I have a "quick" vid I want to post it's easier to use the webcam. For most things I post I use my normal camera. Hope you had a great weekend! :)

[matthewsmomma07]

Thats a great way! Ive always tried the coupon accordian thing and it never worked for me and we get so many! I will be trying this! Thank you

[carlynicoleelliotte]

@matthewsmomma07 Thanks! Yeah I have used accordians in the past but I end up not being able to find what I'm looking for in the store and miss a good sale item! :(
