Coupon Train ~~ New Riders Welcome!

[java]

So I have finally decided that I need to join the ranks of the "Binder Couponers"...ya know, the ladies you see walking around the stores with so many coupons they have to use binders to keep them all organized! So my question to all my fellow train riders is this: do you use a binder? And if so, how do you organize them? Just food vs. non food? I'm so lost. I have a binder and sheets of plastic baseball card holders. Now what?!?!

Thanks in advance! I am at your mercy

I am ordering sheets from this lady

I like the way you can lay out a few coupons in a row.

I organize based on my store layout- What stinks though is that I shop at 3 different ones.
I went with the layout that I go to the most.

When I started I would look at the flyer and just take the coupons that matched advertised sale items. But then I was finding many more "unadvertised" Sales so I started lugging them all with me.

I really need to get them better organized- dh bought me this

which is way too small(I won't tell him that though it was cute that he thought of me) I may use that for storage before I get them into the jumbo binder.

Haunted mansion Momma,

Your envie is in the mail! I tried to fish out all the expired ones but left the April 30th ones in case they got there in time and you decided to go shopping....

I printed the categories from thekrazycouponlady.com (You can find it along the right side of the page). There are tons of categories and it works even going to 4 stores like I usually do. Feel free to PM with any questions or if you want me to send you pics of mine...I have quite a large binder!

 

[SarahandPaul]

Sent the coupons this morning...sorry they're a day late -- just back from vacation!

SOnotLayuh - I'm sorry you didn't get last week's stuff. I think that it was actually 2 envelopes, so I hope they make it to you. I haven't gotten them sent back to me. I apologize I'm running late this week, so I am sending up 2 new envies for you today.

 

[MattMatts-Momma]

Shelby5514 I gave your coupons to the mailman yesterday, you should get them soon.

Funny story! I got a phone call from the PO today, and they had the envies in a plastic bag. 95% of them were salvageable. I can't believe the torture they had been through - you are so wonderfully meticulous with the tape! They got to me before the mail ran today, so everything went out to sumlthomp without an issue!

I look forward to this week's envies! Harris Teeter is running triple coupons this weekend

Katt95 -- Thanks for the great coupons. I can use so many of them! I was excited to hear that you were from the BG area. We usually end up there each year for a swim meet!

Eyor44 -- mailed off my envie yesterday. Sorry for the delay! Enjoy!

 

[katt95]

It really is a small world!?!? I lived in Bowling for 22 years and now I have been in Alabama for 22 years. We still go back 3-4 times a year to visit family.

Happy Couponing!!!

msmulan...have to apologize....I may have stuck some coupons in your envies from my expired pile. I had them sorted out, and I realized my expired pile wasn't as big as it should have been. BIG APOLOGIES!
