I'm a sharpies girl, lol.. and i also keep separate pages, for Wags ( in Green) and Cvs ( in orange) and it fits right in my purse, or huge bag, which i usually end up lugging around so its right there, w/ me, when shopping and if i have a coupon for that item, i simply mark above it a small c and circle it. My organizer is a small photo book, and i put the coupons in there, Cvs , walgreens, each grocerystore, all have their separate pages... I don't like lugging around big things, i have trouble enough w/ the small!! lol but this works excellent for me!! Plus, at the back, in my notebook, I write down BEST PRICES... so i know where, to not overspend. In the front, I wrote down, what i need to work on, for my stockpile. My deals and savings.. I keep in the computer.. in Yahoo email!!.. that way they're never lost and i don't have to deal w/ paper stuff... ohh i also keep my receipts, in another small photo book... so if I find i got too excited and overspent on a deal, the receipts are right there.. I mark them on the top w/ the date.. wow, i'm much more organized then i thought!! LOL b ut.. i'm finally learning that its worth it!! and I LOVE seeing how much I save and for me, I use the Real price, not the sale price.. for how much i saved.. Keeping track, to me, is essential!! bc it really makes you look at how much you saved.... and how much I improve.. lol Happy hunting all blessings and joy Whispered~ ps: lol not for my ego, but to know if its worth my time, l'd appreciate knowing if this helped. ;) thanks~

VERY HELPFUL!
