So here it is... my coupon book!
Exciting, right?!
I started a coupon book about a year ago, after I realized my one small envelope just wasn't doing it anymore. I decided to use a 3-ring binder because, well to be honest, I watched Extreme Couponing on TLC and got the idea from the show.
The first step to fill my binder was to collect, yes collect, coupons. My main source for these coupons is the Sunday paper. The inserts in the paper are a valuable resource to save money. I also saved coupons from in-store purchases, for example the coupons on the back of receipts or those placed in the shopping bag after a purchase.
After saving every single coupon I ran into, I began to sort them. Frozen food, meat, dairy, beauty, restaurants, etc. Next, I found these awesome clear pocket page protectors to organize them. I used these because they would allow for easy access and visibility to each coupon.
Ahh, success!
I bring this book or at least grab some coupons every time I go grocery shopping, I need makeup, or go out to dinner. Yeah, it took quite some time to put together and it requires constant updates
each Sunday, but if I have the time I'd rather use it, then spend double!
