We finally made it through all of the tabs in the {Family Binder}! Now I'm going to go back and show you what got me started with the binders.
I started {couponing} a little less than a year ago. I was inspired to start by {Moneywise Shopper}. It is an on again, off again thing for me. It is a little time consuming if you don't keep on top of it, but it is such a thrill when you spend $39 (including tax) for a bill that should have been over $110. I try to schedule one day a week to clip and organize my coupons.
I have one big binder to keep all of my coupons in. Some people use one binder for food and another for other products. I use baseball card plastic pages to put the coupons and got sticky tabs to label my sections. Both of these I found in Walmart.
These are the sections I included:
For Food:
~Beverages
~Meat
~Snacks
~Breakfast
~Dairy/Refrigerated
~Frozen/Canned
~Sauces/Toppings
~Rice/Pasta/Bread
~Baking/Produce
For Other Products:
~Cleaning
~Paper/Plastic
~Kids/Pets
~Hair/Soap/Lotion
~Razors/Deodorant/Feminine
~Dental/Makeup/Medicine
Some places to get coupons include your local paper, some magazines, your local grocery stores ({Publix} has store coupons at the stores and online. Join their clubs to receive extra coupons in the mail. {Target} has store coupons online. {Kroger} has digital coupons that load onto your store card.), through {websites}, on {Facebook} and Twitter, and in packaging (Never recycle the cereal box without looking inside!).
A lot of the websites require you to give your e-mail address. I created a separate e-mail account so that I could keep any spam separate from my regular account.
Also, keep in mind that there are two kinds of coupons, a manufacturer's coupon and a store coupon. This is important, because you can use the two together for even more savings.
