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

More Info	I plan to have handouts, and an actual display of my organizing method. I will have prizes, too. I am very passionate about using coupons to provide extra money in our weekly budget. The main focus will center on being a good steward of the financial support that God provides for us! This class will be local to the Jefferson-Pageland area. I am a Christian, so this will be a time of great learning, inspiration, and praising to the Lord; for His most bountiful blessings and gifts to us! The class will most likely last 2 to 2 1/2 hours, so make time in your schedule! If you plan to attend, start gathering your coupon stash!

New organizing method

admin — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 13:36:03 +0000

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!

Helpful Couponing Websites

admin — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:05:48 +0000

As the title states this blog post will contain some really helpful websites that I have found.

The first one will probably be familiar to you.

www.couponmom.com

I think it is very helpful and best of all it is free! Spend some time to get to know the ins and outs of this website, you will be glad you did!

Along with the great deals listed, that you will find for your local stores, it also has access to internet coupons. These can be printed and used at most stores. Other than the paper and ink used during printing, they are free!

The second website that I use on a regular bases:

www.grocerygame.com

This site does cost, but the cost is minimal compared to the amount of time it saves. I never miss a great deal. They do have a 4 week trial period. If you could please give my name and email (rscsyarb@shtc.net) as a referral. It will help me! I don’t get paid, just reduces my cost of the problem.

This site has an option of printing coupons,too.

The following site will give the whole years list of expected coupon inserts that are found in the Sunday paper.

http://www.grocerycouponguide.com/articles/2008-coupon-insert-schedule/

The following two sites are in a forum type website, with store list similar to the ones on grocerygame, but they are free, and the deals are listed sooner. They don’t always have the total list of deals and freebies, but they are helpful none the less.

http://www.afullcup.com/forums/

http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/index.php

Gonna llist some other helpful websites but just random:

http://www.refundcents.com/

http://www.consumerqueen.com/?page_id=475

http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/

I really hope you find these helpful!

If you have any questions, just email me.

Also, if you find a dead link, let me know.

Happy surfing!

Tools of the trade!

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

Coupon tools!

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

Sources of coupon info, and coupons!

Sources all laid out, ready for filing and placing into the binder!

Beginning to lay all of the coupon sections out!

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.
