@Msmouspro - If you are saving $15 to $20 on just coupons that is really great. If most of that is just from the fact that you are buying items at the store that are marked down, maybe challenge yourself to see if you can save more from using coupons.

They come in my Sunday newspaper.  You can also visit our coupons page for Smart Source and other printable coupons. moms fun money dot com / coupons dot php

Continued... I also have an envelope in the very front that has all my current coupons, meaning coupons that I will be using at the store, I try to put the coupons in the order of the aisles in the store I am shopping at. Hope that helps!

I was asked to share the labels I put on each of the envelopes I have. Here is the list:

Baking, Beverages, Breads, Breakfast, Canned Goods, Cat Food, Cleaning Products, Condiments, Dairy, Dressings/Oils, Dog Food, Feminine Products, Frozen Food, Meat, Oral Products, Paper Goods, Pasta & Rice, Salads/Fruits, Shampoo/Makeup, Snacks

And then I have individual store envelopes like Ralphs, Walmart, Pet stores, etc.

PLEASE don't throw your expired coupons in the garbage. Military members can use those 6 months past the expired date. If you would like to donate your expired coupons, please PM me and I can tell you where to send! :)

thanks for the tip on the e-mails! I found this very helpful. I am not a mom, but actually just a poor college student. I would like to see how you go through and make your lists and plan you shopping tips. Sometimes I get confused and forget by the time I get to the store.

@YokotaBound88 only OVERSEAS military members right?

Where can you get the SS inserts/ redplum inserts/ p&g inserts? Only in Sunday newspaper?

I recently began using coupons, especially when i buy beauty products. I used them last week at walgreens and my total came out to $40.00 dollars. since i had a few coupons w/ me, my total then came out to 25.00.

I am wondering ... i save around $15-20.00 on each shopping trip. Is that good or bad?

I like the way you do your couponing I'm

Km of three of my husband works and my kids r into everything at school and I think this way would be very helpful thanks so mich

If you need and address for a group who sends expired coupons to overseas families, please let me know. Also, I'm curious to your subjects or tabs for your coupons. I have a huge binder and it was pre-tabbed but naturally the tabs are according to the binder's designer's organization thought. When I have my pile of coupons in the store, I find myself kind of embarrassed to have to stand in front of an item for 5 minutes trying to find the coupons in the tab that I wouldn't personally put it in.
