Step 1: Of course will be faithfully getting the Sunday newspaper. If you miss it one week trust me you will miss out. Do remember that the Sunday that has holidays there are no coupons in the paper that week. Two weeks ago I didn't get the Sunday paper and now I regret it. It was the one with the P&G insert in it. That week there was huge sales at CVS for those items. To bad for me.
Step 2. You need to get yourself a something that you can organize your coupons in. I have tried many things. I tried one of those accordion folder things. I would stand in the isle forever flipping through it. Knowing that I had a coupon for something but couldn't find it. I would just give up and keep on walking.
A friend of mine bought a very fancy coupon organizer off of E-bay. I wanted one so bad. It was a 3 ring binder with pockets and it zipped up. Well I am not an E-bay person. So I invented one just like it. YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
Just go to the dollar store and buy a regular 3 ring binder. Then I bought the plastic baseball card protector sheets. You get 10 for a dollar at Wall-Mart. Then I bought some sticky labels. I put the pages in the binder. Then I made categories that I wanted to put my coupons in. Example:Breakfast,Frozen,Canned, Toiletries,Cleaning,Baby,and Candy/ Snacks. Then I just started putting the coupons in it.
I LOVE IT! I can see all of the coupons that I have. I am not wasting time flipping through that foldy thing. So now I am saving my time and money. Here is a picture of what mine looks like.
