Need a way to keep your coupons organized???



MY COUPON ORGANIZER



         I wanted to find a way to organize my coupons so that I could easily find them when was making my grocery and store shopping lists here is what I have found. This works great for my family and I am able to quickly add coupons on Sunday's from the newspaper and through out the week as I may get them as well.

 I used a plastic shoe box that we had at home and then I labeled legal sized envelopes and cut index card into strips and labeled them with the following...

Air Freshners/Candles (typically for Glade and Air wick)
Automotive (including the auto stores we go to)
Baby
Baking
Body Wash/Soap/Lotion
Bverages (juices, juice boxes, water)
Breakfast
Canned Foods
Cereal (we ALWAYS have a ton of cereal coupons so I decided it needed its own envelope)
Cleaners (household)
Condiments
Dairy
Frozen
Food Storage/Batteries (ziploc bags, aluminum foil, plastic containers, etc.)
Hygiene -dental (tooth paste, tooth brushes, mouth wash)
Hygiene- other (razors, femine care, etc.)
Laundry
Makeup
Meat
Medicine
Office Supplies
Other/Alcohol
Paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, tissues)
Pasta/ Rice
Produce
Salad Dressing/Sauce/Seasoning
Shampoo/Conditioner/Styler
Snacks
Toys/Gifts/Movies

Then a few envelopes for the most often shopped stores-
CVS
Mall
Raley's
Safeway
Target

At the back I have two envelopes for-
Activites/Entertainment
Resturants

 This system makes going through the cutting out and putting them away a snap! I also can easily go through and throw away unused/expired coupons too!
