Tackle It Tuesday....Coupons

Boy, have dropped the ball in my couponing.

One of the easiest money saving

things you can do!

Tackling the Coupon's today!

I had a 4X6 card box.

Cream colored, broken up neatly in categories

with index cards,

sorted with a ready to expire section,

rebates...

Money saving at my fingertips,

and I saved lots of money!

Now, its at another's finger tips

can you believe some one would steal a coupon box?

How low can you go!

That was a few years ago....

Can you tell I'm not quite over it?

So, I started another

it was Pink

Pale Pink

No one will steal a

Pink coupon box

I've left it in the cart

in the parking lot....

It was still there a few hours later

when I went to retrieve it.

Although it was great for organizing it was designed

for desk top use,

not the battering it was receiving

The last time it dumped,

I crammed all the coupons back in and have left it sit.

I wasn't about to put all the work

back into setting it up (& have it dump for the 100th time) AGAIN!

I've been using the bowl or baggie method...

you know, the little dish on your counter that"collects thing"

I'd poke through the earrings & bobbins to find the clipped coupon I needed

or the big freezer bag in the cabinet stuffed with the Sunday ads

Did you know expired coupons breed?

(Neither did I

But they do)
I needed a new system

Besides, Bertha is used to being fed all the

$ I saved..& shes hungry!

Here I think is my solution

A clear 24 paged presentation book

It has blank inserts inside each page

effectively giving me 48 sections!

Catching up clipping all the coupons has been a chore

but, all I have to do is think of how much cash I've left at the store

& I get motivated again.

Its been sitting (the pile of coupons)

at the end of the table for the past few days &

I've been working my way through

bits at a time.

Tackle it Tuesday was my motivation to complete it!

Now to shred the expired pages for the garden!
