Save your inserts

I have been cherry picking the deals for you, easy ones to get you started.
I have purposely chosen deals that have an internet printable coupon.

There are tons more, but they require coupon inserts from past papers.
SO I want to remind you to get your paper this Saturday (dispatch) or Sunday.... and save those inserts. You will kick yourself if you don't. Sometimes we use coupons out of that weeks but mostly I use coupons from several weeks ago.

Example, I, am, still, kicking myself for not buying duplicates on March 8 lol
I have a filing cabinet that used to hold misc items but now holds my inserts.
I usually don't clip coupons until I am going to use them. This helps me keep up with them. I put them in a folder and date the front.

EX
SS (smart source) 5/3
RP (Red Plum) 5/3
P&G (Proctor and Gamble) 5/3

We have a binder that we carry our stuff in. I started out using envelopes labeled on the front for the different stores we had coupons for. (I still do this from time to time)
I still make a list of the deals I plan to do and keep it with coupons I will need for each store.

We bought some dividers and baseball card holders to go in it
I have a section for
CVS
Walgreens
Food Lion
Lowes Foods
Walmart
I keep my ECBS, RR and MVP card with the right store in my folder.
This helps me stay organized.

and the I sectioned out items that cycle and go on sale a lot in diff places
so I have categories in my binder like
home goods
personal care
baby care
etc

Hope these tips help
Peace
