Does anyone know any good ways of keeping coupons organized? I've heard of actual 'coupon organizers' but haven't been able to find one.

I get some great coupons, sometimes they're hard to keep track of and use before they expire.

Any suggestions would be great!

I bought my mom a coupon organizer @ the doller store its called your doller store with more also i belive Dollerama has had them before. We have tried various ways of organizing them. Such as

~ Alphabetical by product name
~ Expiry date (one section 4 each month)
~ What type of product it is (household,pet)

Also we try to pull out the coupons we are going to use the day before the shopping trip.

thanks liljj07! i appreciate your suggestions!

When I prepare my groceries list, I also check if I have any coupon for each product I will buy. I do this at home, before getting to the store. I found that, this way I save money because I only buy what is on my list and I use all my coupon.

Once a month, I also check the expiry date on my coupon. I might want to buy the product before the expiry date. But, it's a good idea to only buy what you need, not because you have a coupon.

Hope it help!
