#binder method

I spend more time looking for coupons and flipping insert pages and then my inserts don't always have the same coupons as Southern Savers (like I have zero Hamburger Helper coupons that were in some people's 2/2 and 3/2 inserts) and I have to cut inserts while looking at a paper and printing other ones and it takes me eight years to get ready for Publix or CVS and I am GOING BACK TO THE BINDER METHOD HOLY DEAR LORD JESUS.

I know it will go better this time around because I don't print every single coupon ever to exist just because I "might" need it anymore. I'll just cut my weekly inserts for the things I KNOW I will use and throw the inserts in the accordion and DONE. And then if freaking Crest is on sale I can have all my damn Crest coupons in the same place and I'll know which ones are worth more and expiring and how many I have between inserts and I won't miss out on pairing up deals that I have that the online sites don't because they obviously are not going to list every town in the universe's inserts and deals.

I switched from envelopes to a binder. It's a really awful looking binder right now, but I don't have ten bucks to drop on a "trapper keeper."

But I don't plan out shopping much. If I need something I get whatever is on sale and I have coupons for. So I just flip through my coupons to see what I need/have. And envelopes just take too much time. 

Now I have everything organized and like coupons are all together and I just have to flip to a page. It's quite nice.
