Help!! I have lost my coupon box and have given up looking for it. The coupons have long expired since I lost it months ago. I have been using an envelope but today got a free box that i need to fix the tabs.

Problem is I have forgot what tabs were in it. I have to make my own tabs for this one...

What tabs are in your coupon box????

Thanks!!! I would love to do this tonight.

Thanks!! Joyce

I just rediscovered coupons (necessity and all ) so I took the oppurtunity to redo my organization. So I've spent the weekend setting up my coupon binder. YAY for baseball card holder. Sorry you lost your box and hope you get your new system set up to perfection

I bought a coupon organizer, like a mini spiral notebook off of ebay for $3. Quite good actually!

Sorry you feel off the organized coupon rail. lol I know how it feels and it is not a nice feeling!

I actually organized it by aisles of the store i go to the most and i have a "directory" of where everything in the store is and what is in each aisle. It makes it SOOO much easier to go thru the aisles. Besides, since i go to that store offten, i know where my coupons are if i ever need a specific one (or i'll look at the directory).

THANKS SO MUCH!! I TOOK ALITTLE FROM EVERYONE AND MADE THE BOX THAT WORKED FO ME!! AND IT DID WORK!!

I WENT TO KROGERS YESTERDAY AND MY BILL WAS $120.00 AND I SPENT 46.31. I SAVED ALMOST ALMOST $75 WITH MANUFACTURED COUPONS AND THE KROGER'S CARD!

MY DH WAS WITH ME AND HE WAS SO HAPPY...HE SAID SEE THAT IS WHY I DON'T WANT YOU WORKING A FULL TIME JOB BECAUSE I NEED YOU HERE SAVING US MONEY...this IS your job! He kept kissing my head...he was so proud. I AM GLAD HE WAS WITH ME BECAUSE I HAD BEEN FEELING BAD ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO BRING MORE MONEY IN. I AVON, EBAY, KID's CONSIGNMENT SELL, YARD SALE. I FEEL BETTER.

Im glad you put your coupon box together and that IT WORKED!!!
Plus, DH realized that the hard work and time spent on cutting coupons is time well spent.

It's interesting to see what others have for their tabs. Here is what I have

Expiring
Drink
Dairy
Yogurt (I found my dairy was too full of yogurt so I gave it a tab of it's own)
Canned, Condiments
Pasta, Rice, Cereal, Meat
Frozen
Cats
Cleaning
Paper
Personal
Medicine
Other (batteries, games....)
I used to have a baby tab but my 5 yr old isn't a baby anymore!
