How do you carry your coupons?

Clarasmom07 · **How do you carry your coupons?**

How do ya'll carry your coupons? Do you just throw them in your purse? Do you you have a big stash at home that you leave there and just take what's on your list? I'm pretty new to the coupon thing. I never did it growing up but now that I'm married with a 7 month old and things are tight, I need to start doing something. I don't always have my daughter with me when eI go shopping so leaving them in her diaper bag won't work.

Suggestions?

I have one of those plastic coupon folders that has been very handy. It has all the different pockets in it and I save the front pocket for coupons I know I want to use the next time I go shopping. Plus i have restaurant coupons in it, too. I try to either have it on the kitchen counter (so I see it when I'm leaving) or in my car.
When I make out my shopping list, I always write down the coupons I have that I think I'll use - that way I can easily compare the coupon price of a product with other products to get the best deal!
It does get exciting to see what you can save!

I found a coupon organizer at Meijer a few years ago and it's the best! It has a pocket for everything, it makes it really easy to find what you're looking for. I've had mine for so long and used it so much that it's falling apart! I keep having to tape it back together. I want to replace it but I haven't been able to find anything like it yet! - Search for one that will work for you.

I have a coupon organizer from wal-mart. When i do my grocery list i go thru my coupons and pull out what i need.

Then i orgainize them in order of the store. Like the first isle is dairy, so all my dairy coupons are at the front, then snacks than paper items, etc...

These I put in a envelope along with the list and a clothes pin. The clothes pin is to hold all of the ones together as i get the item, so i don't have to go thru them again when i am searching form an item.

i have a coupon purse. i rarely carry a purse with me, only when i go to the store, so finally i got tired of having to throw them in there each time. i have been meaning to get one of those plastic organizers, though.

My coupon organizer is a clear plastic box from Walmart. It has orange plastic shutters on top. I use regular long envelopes to put coupons in. They each have there own names, ex...
Beverages,Dairy & meats, Frozen and so on.... I also carry my Entertainment Coupon Book in there. If I don't have time to cut out coupons I will bring the coupon flyers & Scissors with me and clip them in the store. Works for me!
