Coupon Overload



I have divided my coupons into a Food, HBA, Household and Baby section.  I also have a section for On-line coupons, CVS and Rebates!

After a week of vacation I have been working feverishly to cut and file all my coupons!   I have recruited my
in laws, husband's grandpa, my mom and some church folk to pass along their coupons.  Soooo in addition to our own coupons, this can create quite a backlog if you miss a week!   I have just recently switched from a 13 slot coupon organizer (accordion file) to a binder. The binder definitely takes more work to add the coupons, but I think it saves time in the long run when you are pulling them for shopping trips!  Plus, I just carry the whole binder in (baby in tow) and have all my coupons at my fingertips!  I found the binder idea on a link off of Money Saving Mom and will try to locate it to post.  Meanwhile, here is a picture of the binder (it has drawn quite and bit of attention while shopping though and causes me to have to stop and explain it to curious shoppers!)

I think I'd like that method, but I'm too lazy to cut all those coupons. My lists save me a little time.

Only draw back is that I don't usually have all my coupons at my fingertips while shopping.

Oh and I'm jealous of you guys who have people who will give you their papers.
