Coupon wallet/organizer suggestions

[kermit116]

Does anyone have good suggestions for coupon wallets or organizers? I'm looking for something that will allow me to organize coupons into general categories, and that will easily fit in the glove box, side compartment, or center console of my car. I used to try to keep a coupon wallet in my purse, but I usually end up forgetting it, so I figure if I have it in my car I'll do a better job of actually having the coupons with me when I need to use them.

Don't know if it's OK to post or not, but if you search for "coupon organizer" on etsy dot com, you'll probably find some beautiful handmade options. There are some very beautiful things, lots of different vendors, and usually, the vendors are just individuals who are trying to supplement their family's income by selling their wares. I've bought from several different vendors, and they rely on positive feedback (like the big auction site ) to maintain a good reputation. Good luck!

I have a plastic one from the Container Store. You can buy a similar small accordian notecard holder from office supply stores. I will say the one from the Container Store has lasted for more than 4 years. I decorated it with Disney stickers to make it more fun. It was less than $5.

I organize it based on these categories:

Health & Beauty
Cleaning Products
Paper Products
Cereal
Liquids
Frozen Food
Jar Food
Meat
Dairy
Other
Pet

This lets me sort but not have so many categories that I can't remember where a coupon is located.

Now I am not a 10 cart of groceries for 50 cents shopper, but I do pretty well and have been shopping this way since college.

I keep coupons that are not grocery related in a binder clip in my car too--think BBB, Macy's, Toysrus, etc.
