Coupon Holder


I've recently been trying to get into using grocery coupons more. I clip them every week, but it seems like I stash them away in various places throughout the house and can't find them later when I want them or I just forget them when I go grocery shopping. To help myself out I went to Walmart and got a check organizer and labeled each section to correspond to the type of coupon, for example I made a Dairy section, a Meat section, a Baking section, etc. Then when the paper comes I just pull out the coupons, grab my little organizer and a pair of scissors and go to it. When I go grocery shopping I just pick up the entire organizer with all of my coupons and I head out. I made sure to leave the very back pocket empty with a blank tab, because when I'm at the store I put the coupons I'm using in that section as I grab the item off the shelf. That way, when I get to the register there's no sorting necessary, I just take the stack from the back pocket and hand it to the cashier. There's actually a product on the market, called the Jokari EZ coupon holder that has extra velcro on the flap so you can attach it to the handle of your shopping cart (see picture). I find this extra functionality totally unnecessary, but some people might really like it.
