    I wrote an article a while ago on organizing a coupon notebook and I saw that a couple of you were a little confused on where to start so, I thought I'd show it to you guys. Hope you enjoy it :)

    Your LM5 list is excellent on coupon organizing. Several years ago, I worked for a company that had their own technique. They would track each coupon in the coupon booklets. The booklets were put in a folder for each week of the year. When a coupon was needed, they would tell you which coupon folder, booklet and page it was on. We only clipped when we used the coupon. It saved a lot of time. My husband is the one who has the coupon organizer as you described. I got burned out. He spends a lot of time cutting coupons out.

    Thanks Hummingbirdee, I had friends ask me how I did so, I thought I'd write it down to share with anyone who wanted to try couponing. I know the binder has saved us tons of money and times without it I wouldn't be doing couponing at all.
    Does your husband like to print out his coupons or does he like the newspaper coupons better??? I have found that I get a better variety if I visit several online coupon sites.

    That's a great article. I don't use coupons like that, I just clip them out before I go to the store. I may try to get mroe into 'extreme' couponing.

    Thanks for posting this. I would probably use coupons more if I could get them organized better. Both of your links should help me out quite a bit. I only took a quick peek at both but will go back and read more in-depth now. Thanks again!

    Awesome article, thank you. Helpful content and kept concise for limited time etc...very nice. I especially liked how you actually use dividers for each of your categories. Just shows that being well organized really helps a great deal, in more ways than one.

    Again, cheers, awesome share and gave me food for thought.

    This is an awesome post! Many of us on here try to save up as much as possible and a couponing book may be what some need. This is very helpful. Thank you very much.
