How to Organize Your Coupons with a Binder!

[nicoleurie1]

heather do you ever print coupons if so what do you do with the printed page?

[goode2shuz1]

Hi Heather, I am a new subscriber and new to coupons. I don't understand what the advantage would be to file your coupons by date. How would you find a coupon you wanted to use at a particular store if they are filed by date? For example, you find L'Oreal hair color is on sale at the store and you know you also have a $2 off coupon for it in your binder. How do you find that particular coupon if they are all filed by date?

do you actually take those huge binders with you to the grocery store?

I can't seem to find the category list on your website that you mentioned. Can you post a direct link please? Thank you! P.S. I don't think organizing by date will work for me, but the category method is all me!

I have a question that anyone can answer.. I was watching this video and im planning on organizing by category and I was on her website looking for the download for the category thing,. can someone tell me where it is

So I've switched my binder over to the date method, but I'm curious as to how you know what's in there when you take it with you to the store. All I can figure is to print off a list for RP, SS, PG, etc. each week from the insert schedule and put it at the front of that date. How do you do it?

Also, do you still use some baseball card sheets for your loose cpns?

Binder Date Method: That is a pretty big binder so I am wondering how you find your coupons after they are filed. I get the category method but I am confused how I would find coupons if I use your (Heather) method.

i went to walmart with a ton of coupons the guy at the reg. was really nice and all of a sudden he got really quiet and stopped talking. when the reg. had issues with my bogo coupons people left the line and he was upset. he wasnt smiling when i was leaving which made me feel bad i saved some but not as much as i would had i planned it. $157 to 91 but i didnt have a coupon for kitty litter @ 12.99

I really want to start couponing, and I have been on your website all day lol. But I am still kinda clueless and also scared that the cashiers are going to give me trouble at the register. Do you guys let the cashiers know that you are going to be using many coupons?

[flippensweet24]

where did you get that cool calculator! love your vids good information and tips! your one of the ones i love watching most to talk about coupons! thanks!

[TheCouponprincess7]

I actually use a combination of both. I am so OCDish about organization so I use a spreadsheet for each weekly insert, listing the coupons in that date in alphabetical order. Then I clip my coupons and use the baseball card holders to place them in, and put my dated spreadsheet on top. So it is by date with a little more time on organzing each coupon. This way I have it all clipped in a store for ease, and yet when looking online I can look for a specific date referenced on a deal. :)

First let me just say you have the best coupon videos!! Very detailed, thanks! Second, Do you take your huge coupon folder with you to the grocery store? Or do you take what you plan on buying out?

[sunflower430]

When you're using the "by date" binder method how do you find which coupons you want to use? Do you literally flip through the whole binder looking for coupons for items on your list? Also, when do you start purging your binder? Since one page can have coupons with a wide range of expiration dates (i.e. coupon A expires 5/31/11 & coupon B expires 7/15/11), how do you weed out old coupons? Do you just want until the last coupon expires & then throw out the page? Thanks for all your help & advise!

[underrcoverrnerdd]

You girls are goddesses, my role models hands down! I started couponing because of u!

[shinta0013]

Did you use coupons to pay for your supplies :P

[amber6675]

If you have a comic book store, you can probably get the baseball cards cheaper. I paid $20 for a 100 page pack. :D

[Pinkcupcakeglitter21]

I am left handed too!

@TheKrazyCouponLady Hi Heather, I have a question about your web-site & printable coupons from my home laptop. For example, I click on a link for a certain coupon, like tylenol, it takes me to a web-site to print the coupon but i tried to install the "Coupon Printer" on my Mac and can't figure it out. I am new to couponing and just purchased two Books from your Web-site (which i haven't received yet). But also how do i leave, check, read messages on your web-site from other couponers?

Thank you

[Airteme]

You can also find the baseball card holders at Target in the toy section where the pokemon cards etc. that's where I found mine.

[souljagurlsha]

awesome tips.

[Kristenbasore]

I got a great 5 inch binder for 35 cents from Good Will! It looked brand new!

[myprodigyovernight]

im a fourteen year old girl in the uk, why am i watching this

[Ultimatecruegirl]

Could you ladies please do a vid on how to use the BOGO coupons? I find this one of the hardest concepts to get and if I don't get it I don't think I have a chance of getting the stores to accept it.

This sure would be a lot easier if the stores would make their policy's clearer.

Thanks so much. I've been watching your vids and stalking your site and have learned so much!

[TheKrazyCouponLady]

@Ultimatecruegirl Great idea! I will work on this as well!

[pennylane36]

@Ultimatecruegirl If u have a riteaid drugstore near you and you have a bogo coupon and they have that same item on sale in theirstore as bogo, take in your coupon and both items are free. Its worded just that way on their coupon policy. But you'r right bogo can be confusing.

[jffrywad]

@Ultimatecruegirl I agree. I m lost on BOGO and when items are BOGO at same time.

[busybonnie]

I like how you put the whole pages in the binder, that's a great idea. I'm definitely going to start doing that instead of having them in my file organizer! thanks =)

[MojoTana]

no comments? i'll be the first! i love you guys, huge fan! (:

[GotLoveForNails]

This is the best organization video I've seen!

[AblessedQueen]

thanks very helpful....

[chilepeppr4]

do you usually clip all the coupons?? or do you only clip things that you actually would use?

[TheKrazyCouponLady]

@chilepeppr4 It's a mix of that. We clip the ones we would buy if the item was FREE or a money maker; even if it's something we just donate.

[bobbysbunny]

Wow... it looks like that binder on your right (our left) might cause you to fall over when you carry it! ;)

[FashionPrincess007]

Can you please do videos where you are inside of the store and visually showing us the deals?????

[TheKrazyCouponLady]

@FashionPrincess007 Coming up next! :)

[FashionPrincess007]

@TheKrazyCouponLady for which store????

[olympuseighty8]

@TheKrazyCouponLady Ooh, yeah! I find those types really helpful.
