How I Organize My Coupons



Each person will come up with the best way to organize their coupons that works best for them. Many use the binder method. I personally use a check/coupon expandable file. I've tried so many different ways, but what works best for ME is this.

Just curious where you get your organizer? I have tried a couple of methods for organizing mine and so far they have not worked. However, this method looks worth trying. I would love to hear more about it. Thanks for posting!

Hi! I was able to get this within the past month at Target, but it was on clearance. I have been looking high and low for one like this for almost a year, without any luck until this one.

The ones I have seen (and tried) usually do not expand on the bottom, and those caused me headaches at the store (picture it full of coupons and "flipping" over!! YIKES!)

That has been my problem with using a box! I always shop with my 6 children (ages 6 months to 7 years) so I need something compact that will not turn over and is easy to use. Right now I am using a binder, but it is too full and I do not even have all of my coupons in it! It is also awkward and the coupons slide out of the slots. This expandable file looks like it is what I need! Was it in the office supplies of Target? What brand is it. Maybe Staples or another office supply store will have one. I will let you know if I find another one. Thanks for the help!

It is a "It's Academic" brand, out of Northbrook, IL. www.its-academic.com Maybe you can contact the company? It is a 13 Pocket Check/Coupon File (like a business size envelope long).

It was in the office section when I bought it.

I know a LOT of couponers use the binder method...I have tried, but it did not work for me either. ;)

Hope you can find one and that it works for you as well as it does for me!
