Coupon Organization!




Here is how I organize my coupons. This was adopted my many women on blogs I've found. Mine isn't 100% done but I wanted to share.

I purchased this cute binder at Walmart on clearance, from all the school supplies. It zips up, has many pockets including some inside for the weekly fliers, a place for pens and my little scissors. I have the coupons in trading card sleeves. I still need to put in dividers for each of the sections.

Another great tip I found was to use a coupon mat to separate them. I just made my own out of the cardboard that came with the trading card sleeves.

Wanna win one? Go visit Mommy Managing Coupon Organizer Giveaway! Good Luck!

What are some of your coupon and savings tips?

How to get the BEST deals!

It's really easy!

1. The most important thing is to look around for what you want to purchase. Don't settle for the first site you find. Look for the sites that are offering Free shipping and/or already reduced prices merchandise.

2. Make sure your signed up at Ebates ! If the store you found a great deal at is part of their participating store then you can save an additional percentage depending on the store. The way Ebates works is: you go to the store you want to shop at from their website and shop at the store. When you finish your purchase a percentage is added to your a Ebatesaccount, every 3 months you can get a check mailed to you, as long as it is over $5.01. If its less or $5.01 then it will be carried over to the next 3 month window. The program is free to you. I ♥ when I just get checks in the mail.

3. Do a simple search at RetailMeNot and get a coupon code for the site you found a great deal at.

You'll be surprised how much you can save.

Great Buy!


I've always wanted to get personalized Christmas stockings for my family, but they where always so expensive. I finally found some at a great price, they where only $7.98 each! I ordered us all the Snowman stockings. I was going to either get girls as the snowmen and boys as the Christmas trees or Parents as snowmen and kids as Christmas trees. I really couldn't make up my mind so I just got us all snowmen stockings with our names on them and one extra blank one for the day we adopt a child. These will be so perfect I ♥ the country style.
Here is where I got them from and I also got $11.97 off with a Coupon Code.
We don't have a place to hang the stockings so also ordered a stocking hanger
from Improvements Catalog.
