MY COUPON ORGANIZER


I was in need of finding 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 and filing of coupons a snap! I also can easily go through and throw away unused/expired coupons too!
