Category: My Coupon Passion

I have just decided on an awesome prize for the coupon class! If I have at least 50 guest to make it to the class, I will have a drawing for the following prize! I will offer to a very blessed person, a binder set up! It will include, binder sheets with dividers fully labeled according to the categories that I use! It will not include the binder, but all that you will have to do is purchase a 4 inch binder, and you will be set! Please tell your friends

After years of coupon usage, I have come up with a better way to sort my clipped coupons.  The most time consuming part of  using coupons is sorting them into categories, well, at least for me!   Sitting still for me was the most boring aspect of my “part time job”!  I finally had an epiphany, and as you can see in the photo, I could have been using this much sooner.   I first had the idea to use a shoe organizer to slip my coupons  into each pocket.  I labeled each pocket according to the categories in my binder.  Now, I can stand while sorting, which is a lifesaver for me, because I have a hard time just sitting!   Since, I have two binders, I needed two sorters, but only had one shoe organizer.  I remembered, that I had used  a word sentence builder back in my teaching days, and I decided to use it for my non-food coupons.   I like the word sentence builder more, so I may invest in purchasing another one.  But, for now, the two I have will work just fine!  After I get the coupons sorted into each pocket, I place them into my binder sections, and it only takes a few moments for each section.  It beats sitting in the floor or at my kitchen table, and I don’t have to worry about leaving my coupons laying around.  If I want to sort some, and then start dinner, or load the washer, I can!  The last time I sorted, I prepared dinner at the same time!  Now that’s how I roll!

I have  embedded some still photos that will explain the tools needed to set up a coupon binder.

I.  You may have seen my coupon binder(the first video, check below).

A.  Of course, you will need a binder large enough to hold the amount of coupons you are willing to work with.  I buy three newspapers on Sunday, so I have a large inventory of coupons!  You can still save a lot of money, even if you buy one paper on Sundays!

B.  You will need dividers for each section of items.

C.       You will need baseball card holders, 2 pencil holders, binder clips, paper clips.

II.  You will need the tools found in the following picture.

A. Magnifying glass

B. Reading glasses

C. Ruler

D. Scissors

E. Stapler and staples

III.  You will need the coupon sections out of the Sunday paper, or magazines, store coupons, or internet coupons.

That concludes the still photos for setting up a coupon binder.

I will post the final videos as soon as they finish uploading to youtube.
