Index Card Box for Coupon Organizing

Does everyone remember the old "tickler file"? Basically, it was a index card box that had a chore or project on each one. You simply opened the box, did what was on the card, then put it in the back of the box. The next day, you did the same. It was named so you "tickle" your memory.

You can make coupons the same way. For all the coupons that expire for that week or month, put them in the front of a Dollar Tree divider file. They have nicer, larger ones at Walmart that I actually recommend more. Divide your coupons not by what they are, in each divider, but by what month they expire. Then, inside each month, you can divide by dairy, meat, veggies, etc.

Another hint is to never go shopping hungry and when you can, shop the perimeter of the store first where everything is fresh.

This makes you an "ubercouponer"!

Hope it helps.
