OMG! I so totally have one of those! It's nasty olive green vinyl... hmmm... now I need to go dig it out of storage.

Maybe you could spruce it up by decoupaging coupons all over the outside of it, or better yet, all the receipts showing your savings -

I just saw the footage, and unless I'm mistaken one of the ladies was also using the binder method {which of course is my favorite} I have three, one for non-foods, one for shelf foods and one for cold & frozen foods. I have even started up a couple of smaller ones for ind. stores like Publix folder, and CVS folder. I keep all my binders in a basket that I have no idea where I got it from but it works great and is very portable. Yes, I usually take 2 or 3 binders into certain stores, but I want to be ready for anything.

Different methods work for different people. I sure owe a lot to Clarkestep for teaching me the binder method. It has been a life and money saver.

More minus signs please

I think that organizer is something you can buy from refundcents mag

I have the one from refund cents, it is hard plastic. Doesn't really sit in the seat of buggy that well, and won't stay open. It works but don't work that well for me. I can't seem to find anything that I love.
So lately I go through and pick out what I am going to use and only take that along with me. I don't like that either.

I've only been cutting coupons for a couple of weeks. I've already outgrown 2 binders. I spend ALL DAY Sunday cutting, sorting, folding, blah blah blah you know the routine. I can't do it every weekend. I'm thinking of switching to the case this woman in the video has. I like that it looks like a tote instead of a HUGE binder. Has anyone bought one? I like the idea of not spending so much time putting coupons into plastic sheets. I can then go alphabetical. Any thoughts?

I know that a lot of people like the binder method . . . . .personally . . . .it drove me nuts! To much upkeep. I go small scale for now, I use two 4 by 6 card file boxes. But I would go for the tote over a binder.
You can do them alphabetical, but I arrange mine by the isles of the grocery store . . . .broad catagories, like frozen meals, canned fuits, dairy case, etc
To each thier own!!!!
Really liked this news piece!!!
Yeah to you ladies!

Thanks, I think I'm going to invest in one. I think this will make the whole process much faster.
