Hello again my friends.
I am posting a video, a list and a few pictures on how I coupon.
I hope it all works.
Something I forgot to mention in my video is after I make my lists and gather my coupons they go into my little coupon organizer I bought at the dollar store. Each tab has a store name on it so the list and the coupons for that store goes in that little organizer and then I put my little organizer, my sales ads, my scissors, a calculator and pens and pencils in my coupon tote and take it all to the store with me.
Here is the inside of my organizer
The outside of my organizer.
As promised, here is a list of my coupon categories and sub categories.
The subcategories are on the index cards in my little folders. The main categories are in bold. The subcategories will have a dash in front of it.
Blank tabbed folder (for the I don't know where these go coupons)

And there you have it. Those are all of my categories and sub-categories in my coupon tote.
I hope this helps someone out there.
All I can say is just start. Even if you just save a few dollars, that is a few dollars you wouldn't have otherwise. Those few dollars add up.
Until next time
Be blessed,
Erin
