Coupon Organizers for $1!

One of the most common questions I get from readers is how I organize my coupons!

The three most frequent methods that people use to organize their coupons are:

Binder method:  Use baseball card holders and dividers and organize by category – I will post more details on this later!

Whole insert method:  write the date on the outside of the insert and file the entire insert.  If you use coupon match-ups that refer to inserts by date, this makes it very easy to locate the coupons you are looking for, but helps you to save time because you are not having to clip every coupon!  I use this method!

Wallet-sized organizer – I have a section for each of the stores I shop at most frequently (CVS, Walgreens, Target, Kroger, Walmart, and Randalls) and I keep my clipped coupons for my weekly shopping trips in each section so they are ready to go at check-out!

Right now in the “Dollar” section at Target, they have the organizers that you can use for your coupons for $1!  For the “whole insert method” I use a box with hanging file folders and I sort by month, but you could easily use the larger accordian-style holder picture in the first rack above, especially if you are just getting started.  I use the smaller, wallet-sized holder pictured above for just $1.

Lack of organization is the #1 reason people get frustrated and give up on couponing.  If you’re looking for an easy way to get started with organizing your coupons, check out the dollar section at your Target store and get started using the methods above.  If you have questions, let me know!  I will also have some guest posts coming soon with suggestions for organizing your coupons!

Target Top 25 Deals for the week of 8/14: freebies and cheapies!

Here’s my Target “Top 25″ deals of the week. Keep in mind that pricing may vary by area. Always check your local ad to confirm that they have the “weekly deals.”  This was a slow ad week and many of these deals are not in the weekly ad but are “deals” because of “stacking” of Target coupons and manufacture’s couponswhich means your market may vary in terms of pricing – sometimes pricing varies from one store to the next within my own area!  Thanks to Totally Target for the heads up on many of the price cuts!  Make sure you check out the changes to the Target coupon policy here.  Also, Target printables can disappear VERY quickly(sometimes within a few hours), s0 make sure you print the ones you want as soon as they come out!

Get Text Alerts from Target: receive coupons, deals, and weekly ad reminders on your mobile phone – use a barcode that can be scanned at check-out for multiple one time only coupon deals throughout the month.  The text alerts for mobile coupons appear to be released on Sundays and appear to be valid for one week only (when the new round is released on Sundays, the old round disappears)

Now, you can save 5% when you use your Target Red Card. (This is valid in stores only)

Target now offers price matching. You can check out their policy here.

At Target, you can use one Target coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon per item.Theprintable Target coupons now state “one per transaction” meaning you can only use one “like”coupon per transaction. The Target coupons from the inserts do not have this wording and neither do the Target toy coupons. You can read/print their coupon policy here.

They are also offering a .05 credit when you bring in your own reusable shopping bag!
