Grocery Gamers {coupons}

[Shaky]

Grocery Gamers and really anyone out there that use coupons. How do you store and keep your coupons organized?
Just trying to give ideas to everyone

This is mine...

[Purpur]

Oh! I just started, so I'd love to see how everyone does it!

[Trescha]

I just started the GG thanks to Shaky!! So i am also wanting to know how everyone organizes coupons as well.

I tried the big binder method with all the baseball inserts in but honestly it didn't work for me so I went back to my mini binder (the one on the pic) The big binder is nice cause you will have EVERYTHING in one binder but it was way too big for my purse and with this small one I ALWAYS have it there when I need it.

I use regular envelopes inside a ziploc bag. Everything is labeled by type and I paperclip the expired coupons to the flap(since we can use them here on a limited time frame)

I have a little coupon holder that i got. But I like your idea kind of.
Can you use expired at the comm?

i have a check file like yours except it's blue and i have drinks (i.e. juices, sodas, etc), condiments (i.e. wostershire sauce, salad dressing, ketchup, etc), frozen stuff, cleaning stuff (sponges, etc), breakfast stuff (granola bars, cereal, coffee, etc), dry sides (rice, noodles, etc), dessert stuff (condensed milk, cake mix, icing), refrigerated stuff (biscuits, cookie dough, yogurt, butter, etc), health and beauty (deodorant, shampoo/conditioner, lysol, medicine, etc), dog treats, misc. (febreze, trash bags, aluminum foil, ziploc baggies, etc)

I can because I am overseas. We can use up to 6 months expired at the commy and I *think* 90 days at the exchange. it honestly depends on the checker at the exchange, lol.

I tried using the organizer, but I hated hauling the whole thing when I was going on a paper goods trip or something...this way I can just pull out the envelope I need and I am good to go.

I have a little binder thing like yours Shaky. There is no order to my coupons though, I got through them every time I clip coupons and put the ones to the front that need to used ASAP. When ever I go to the store I print my GG list and get my coupons for them together and put them in a section by themselves and then I add the ones that I will be using for the stuff not on the list to my getting ready to expire ones

I tried the whole organizing by item and such and I wasted more coupons than I used that way. Disorder onmy coupons works very well for me

[jellybeanqueen]

so do you take your whole box with you when you go shopping?

ive always wanted to get into coupons but i always lose them and if i have them i forget them...
