Coupon Tip #3
Keep organized!
You never want a Coupon to expire when you can use it to save money.
There are many ways to organize your coupons, and everyone is different.
Me personally, I have a binder that I have separated in alphabetical order. It has 27 dividers (one for each letter, and one for numbers) and I file according to the brand name. Each section has baseball card pages in it - eachpage has 9 card holders, and you can file multiple like coupons in each sleeve.
Some people like to sort by grocery type, or isle, or store. I prefer it in alphabetical order because its easier for me to find what I need quickly.
Keep the coupons that are expiring soon on the top, and the ones expiring later towards the bottom.
DON'T let your coupons expire! Its like throwing away money! And, if you have coupons you just know you will never use, offer them to someone else, or buy the product and barter with a neighbor for fresh veggies from their garden, or some canned/jarred fruits/veggies from their personal pantry.
At any rate, DO NOT THROW THEM OUT!!! If you have absolutely NO USE at all for them, you can send them to military families. There are commissary stores on base and over seas that will take coupons that are no more then 6 months past their expiration date.
(If anyone would like info on where to send these, let me know and I will be more then happy to find the address for you!
