Coupons keeping it all together

Using coupons is helping our family stretch the budget during this rough financial patch that we are all going through at this time. One of the most frugal, money-saving things that I can do is utilize as many of the coupons that are at my disposal as possible for the products that we use.

In order for me to utilize these coupons to the best of my ability I had to come up with a way to organize them so that I would be able to use as many as possible. The more I use the more I am able to save.

The first thing that I did was to organize the coupons into simple categories.

• Dairy

• Canned

• Frozen

• Baking

• Cereal/Crackers

• Boxed Meals/Sides

• Seasoning

• Snacks

• Cleaning

• Paper Products

• Beauty

The second thing I did was decide on if I wanted to put them into a binder or index box with dividers. I chose the binder, that way it fit nicely on my office shelf and was also easy for me to carry in the cart.

I used binder 5 tab dividers to divide all of the sections with. In each section I placed zipper pocket and baseball card holders to hold all the coupons in.

I like the zipper bags the best because it is easier to place the coupons inside. The draw back is that you can not see your coupons at a glance. So I have both in each section of my binder.

How to Make a Zip Pocket Holder for Binder

I cut down a gallon zip lock bag from the bottom end so that it will fit in the binder, next I cut a sheet of card stock so that it will slide into the zip lock bag leaving a little hanging out the end that you cut. Once that is done I use clear packing tape and tape the cut end closed. After the bag has been reinforced with the packing tape I punch holes in the zip bag with a three hole punch.

Using the coupons at the Grocery Story or other Stores

When I make out our shopping list for each store, I put the coupons I’ll be using in each store envelope. I then write my list for that store on the outside of each envelop and place a circled C next to the items that has a coupon. This way I make sure that I am getting the right item while at the store and it also insure that I will use all of them at check out.

Coupon Clipping

Coupon clipping was not as simple as I thought it would be! Did I save money? Yes, but it was a lot more work than I thought it would be.

I have now finished my second shopping trip of coupon clipping and finding the best savings for my family. The first trip was not a fruitful savings trip. I saved a total of $4.25 which was disappointing to me. My oldest son made it sound better when he made me think about it as an hourly wage. “If you made minimum wage an hour you would have had to work for 3o minutes.” Ok that sounds more like it that is 3o minutes I can spend with my family doing something that I enjoy instead of working. That gave me the drive to try my hand at coupon clipping again this week and I must say that it was a little bit more fruitful than the first, $19.75 to be exact. That means I have saved $24.00 this month on our family grocery bill. Ok so it is not as much as what I have read about or have heard about on the talk shows, but it is a start in the right direction and now it is a family challenge to see how much we can save on groceries. Maybe we will take a trip with the savings!

Coupon Clipping

I’m giving coupons a try again after fifteen years. I figure that it kept me from starving to death in college, so then it can keep food on my table in these economic hard times. I just cut my first batch and printed my first batch of coupons from Coupon.com. This was the easiest and best site I found so far. I will let you know how the shopping went and savings went on my next entry.
