Possibly the best $1 I’ve ever spent…

January 22nd, 2010 · 2 Comments

Is on my coupon holder that I got at Target three years ago.  I carry it with me all the time, and it has more than paid for itself.  I actually bought a new one last night, as my old one was pretty beat up.

I use the sections as following:

  • Front section:  Store coupons, restaurant coupons, ECB’s and the like.
  • Next section-items I know I will be using on a given shopping trip-something I’m out of or on sale
  • Snacks and candy
  • Entrees
  • Health and beauty
  • Coupons for the grocery shopping I do at work.
  • Coupons for pet food

By having my coupon organizer on me, and having my coupons organized, I am much more likely to usu the coupons I clip.  However, the biggest hurdle to using your organizer is to use it-my mother, for example, doesn’t have hers on her at all times.

    Great post on coupons! I live and die by my coupons.
    I often blog about ways to save online using coupons. Our website features health & wellness coupons. I’ll visit your blog often:)

    I got one too. It is killer to use. Hubby actually is getting on the coupon kick.
