a LITTLE ORGANIZING FOR YOUR COUPONS

Here on base we can get coupons that are sent over here by others. (otherwise we don't get a huge ton of coupons) and they don't expire for us until 6 months after the expiration date.

As many of you know, it is hard to shop with little kids, especailly when using coupons.  So I made this binder.  I put different sections into it and divided the coupons up into those.

I use baseball card holdes to put my coupons in.  This saves me a ton of time.  I have my list and write on it whether or not I have a coupon for certain items.  I also have it all on hand in case something we normally use is on sale and I have the coupons to make it an even better deal. 

I am also in a coupon group called the Coupon Queens of Okinawa.  When we met last month it was a bit crazy, so I thought I would put together a box with file folders for each different section, that way they can look in there and see which area they need and take it to look through.

It has also been nice to pass around between a few of my friends that live closer.  It is also handy to put everything in one box, it lessens the mess around here.
Happy Couponing!!!!

If you are interested in sending coupons to the troops and their families overseas, here is one of the sites looking for help.  Thanks.  http://www.supportourtroops.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1435     it's called Coupons for Troops.
