Coupon Organizer???

[Carlyzmom]

Does anyone have a coupon organizer/wallet that they like? If so, please tell me where you got it. I really need one! I have a ton of coupons that never get used because they are so disorganized!

I have an index card box with a pack and a half of "tabs", labeled to what I need...cats, Tyson, BJs. I have yet to find a prefab one I like as much-either there aren't enough tabs, or the tabs are prelabeled differently that I prefer. I just put my "using today" coupons in the front, and if I have anything that I was going to "use today" and I didn't, I just stick it in the back and refile the next time I go through my coupons. Works great.

I got mine at Staples, but I know that Office Max & Office Depot carry them as well. However, I had to ask a sales associate where to find them. I walked out of a couple of those stores thinking they did not carry them. They are just hard to locate on the shelves sometimes.

I'm currently using two small accordian type organizers. 1 for food products the other for cleaning and health and beauty. The system works okay, I keep the front pocket open for coupons I'm planning to use that trip. My problem is that I have too many coupons and the rubber band is practically breaking. I got one organizer at Target and the other at Meijer. I'm considering trying the index card box, but I'm so worried my 3 year old will get a hold of it and dump it out.

OK great! I live near an Office Depot, so I will check there. I do like the file box idea, but I don't see myself toting it inside the grocery store with me.

I got an accordian thing from walmart with 30 or so slots. It is like 8x11 sized. Sits upright in the front seat of my grocery buggy...perfect!

I got mine from DreamProducts.com. Its nylon and velcros to the front of my shopping cart. I think it was 6.95 plus a 2.00 shipping maybe?

I use a small index card box thats divided up according to the aisles, and then I put them in the order of the route I take through the store. The box fits nicely in the coupon holder of the cart handle so it's super easy to go through and any coupon I want to use gets placed in the flipped open lid.

I just reorganized mine into a binder with baseball card holders. It took several hours to do, but is amazing! I can find coupons so easy. I had been using the nylon ones they advertise in the Sunday coupons, but I ripped them in about five months.

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions!!

I just ordered this one. I figured for 3 bucks, it was worth a try.

I started out with an accordion coupon wallet, then divided into 2 (1-food,1-non-food) and then went to a binder.

I got the 3-ring plastic 1 inch binder for .29¢ at Staples. The baseball card holders were the biggest expense, something like $3 for a pack. I had some spare 1 page protectors that I sliced in the middle of the front, and taped to make 2 bigger pockets for coupons that don't fit in the baseball card holders.

I made tabs with my label maker, and attached then to the baseball card holder sheet so they stick out like dividers.

It takes me longer to get the coupons cut down to fit into the baseball card pockets. I think if I'd done anything differently, I would have bought the CD holder protectors or something bigger than baseball card holders.

Taking the binder into the stores was intimidating at first for me. But having all the coupons there while I shop has saved me so much money, especially with the things that are on clearance, and I didn't know about until I got into the store.

Same here! I got baseball card sheets (target near check out lanes) and put it in a flexible 3-ring binder. I have pages labeled (frozen, dairy, laundry, etc...) No more missed deals!

I got a leather one on ebay. But the manufacturer doesn't make them anymore.

what's the price

 

[TnTWalter]

hate them. Love the idea but such a pain to get coupons to fit.

I wish there were better sizes....

Looks like with the ebay ones you have to buy more index cards as they only come with 6. FYI.

still trying to get it working for myself...I just have a giant tub filled with coupons and I do nothing. UGH.
