Coupon organizer??? Who has time to use a coupon organizer!!!LOL

I don't have time to clip coupons much less organize them. Actually they don't make coupons for the things and brands I buy. My grocery store has a card system and it generates coupons based on the things you buy at the store. I keep them in my purse/wallet otherwise I would forget them.

Happy shopping Jay!!

I try to use the "cashing in at the checkout" method without going full blown/full time into couponing. By using the technique I generally buy all namebrand stuff, while keeping my monthly store expenditures under $60 per month. I even held to this when buying for three. I just need a better way of catagorizing the coupons I use.

Karen,

Its not being "anal" but trying to set up a way to do the work of two people. When I had the services of my ex wife in processing coupons and premium offers, we generated up to $800 a month in savings and cash backs. The premiums ranged from coffee makers to pre paid cell phones ( I recieved 6 for drinking 7 up at work and $9 in postage)and power tools, none of which cost over $5 in cash. We actually staged yard sales a couple of times with nothing but promotional premiums as the items for sale. There really is "money for nothing" if you live the right lifestyle, organize and take advantage of promotional marketing.

I guess I'll just have to work out a computer program to organize my records. Sure glad the tennis bracelet from the drink mix didn't arrive until last week.

Jay, Sorry if I offended you-that certainly was not my intention. Sometimes my sarcasm is a bit much. Karen
