Be Smart With A Smart Way To Organize Your Coupons

By William Sanderson

If you are tight on money, then you need to use coupons. For years, coupons have been a girls best friend. They can take a huge bill and shrink it down in size. That is something that we all love to do. There are ways that a woman can organize them. Men can do this too, but with women we are all about the savings. Here is the smart way to organize your coupons.

The first thing that any coupon user needs to do is get something to keep their coupons in. People use all sort of things. For instance, some get the coupon organizers that they can keep in their pocket. Some use the little recipe boxes and create their own. Yet some use binders.

Something else that can work when you look at organizing your coupons is to organize them by the expiration date. For instance, organize them so that they are in an order from those that you need to use first all the way to those that you can wait for quite a while to use.

The next thing is that there are some coupons that you cannot use at other stores. Keep them in a separate pile. You might be like oh I have that twenty percent coupon for this place. That way then, you are not trying to find it.

From there, you need to separate the ones that you have to use at one store only from those you can use at other stores. Be careful though, some places like Walmart will still take those coupons and match them. Therefore you need to be able to see what you have when you go into that store because that is really important. You do not want to miss out on savings.

When you get to the checkout, have them ready to hand over. If you create a list, keep them at the front of your organizer so that you have them laid out and remember what you were getting and that you have a coupon for them. This can help you greatly as you are doing your shopping and going through check outs.

There are times when we have to hunt to remember which ones we were going to use. Create a grocery list and by something that you have a coupon for, just note it and move the coupons that you know that you are going to use this shopping trip to the front so that you can find them. There are other ways to do this, but by doing so you remember to use it. - 31374
