Just ordered the coupon box!!! WOW, I love the box /envie way of doing things, it just never occurred to me to use a real box?! My husband saw the clip with me and said, 'You saved more than the cost of that in your last trip!! Get it!!!', then he repeated himself until I did it. I'm so cheap......I mean frugal. Anyway, this going to be more exciting than waiting for a Tide free sample! Way to go gals! It's nice to see people getting the spotlight for savings. Sure beats all the negative news stories, and now other families can benefit too. Good job!

What size did you order? I was thinking of getting the large one just because I've grown out of the binders so fast.

Great!! Loved that organizer as well. As others have stated, good, but already knew all their tips from communicating with everyone here. Is nice though that someone has noticed people like us and complimenting how we save, instead of some harsh comment.

Ok last question!! If any of you were to buy this case would you buy 1 or 2? I was thinking of 2 for food/non food so I wouldn't have to bring the one big one into CVS or the smaller stores. What do you think? Before I became so frugal I would have bought 2 with no problem!! Now I can't question everything I buy!!!! I'll never go back!!!

Hmmm, it was $39.95, I think thats the large one. I didn't see one bigger.

Why don't you take food coupons into CVS?? I don't usually use them there, but I have gotten free/near food before from CVS. They cleared out a bunch of Pringles one time and I had $.30 off, got them all for under $.25 each. I've done deals on soup and cereal there too. You just never know with CVS....

I know. I keep going back and forth one, two!!

Leann, hopefully your CVS keeps their food aisle fresher than mine! I bought some SoftBatch cookies when they were on sale (several months and ads ago, haha!) and they were WAY expired when I bought them. ALWAYS check the expiration dates on their foods, Ive read other users complaining too!

Hi Girls!!!

I am the one in the video, my name is Luana Parker and I love my organizer!!! I have had it for about 3 months now and I actually have 2 of them, one for food, and one for non-food items. I just ordered a 3rd one because I have an over abundance of coupons for medicine, vitamin stuff!! I am not normal - LOL I actually coupon a lot for charity, so for a normal family I would suggest 2, one for food, one for non-food items....

Do not get the ones that velcro, get the clip closures. I do not use their suggested format for filing (a numbers system) instead, I use my way, air fresheners, baking mixes, baking misc, cereal GM, cereal Pots, etc....... Make it your own and whatever schematic of filing works for you, don't change that....

I leave for vacation today, but am online alot and I will try to answer questions if I can.

Happy couponing!!

Luana

I loved the piece on the news about you and your friend. Especially when you said you sometimes make money shopping!!! I look at it this way, if I get as good as you ladies, that’s how I can justify to my husband not going back to work!!! I've been going back and forth with this organizer. I emailed the store today I think I'm going to get the largest one with the clip. I like the binder I have, but it is so labor intensive I know I'll start losing motivation. This looks like a tote/purse and the lid stays open. Have a wonderful vacation. I just got back. But how sick is this, I couldn't wait to get back to couponing!!
