thekrazycouponlady.com/?p=70052 Learn from Heather Wheeler, The Krazy Coupon Lady how to organize your coupons with a binder. You can organize by date or by category.
I can't seem to find the category list on your website that you mentioned. Can you post a direct link please? Thank you! P.S. I don't think organizing by date will work for me, but the category method is all me!
I have no experience in this whatsoever, but what I've noticed is that organizing by date would probably help if you plan to stockpile and just wanna go the whole 9 yards with couponing. On the other hand, category organizing seems for someone who buys out of necessity or isn't looking for an outragous amount of goods, Correct me if I am wrong, please.
I like how you put the whole pages in the binder, that's a great idea. I'm definitely going to start doing that instead of having them in my file organizer! thanks =)
Hi Heather, I am a new subscriber and new to coupons. I don't understand what the advantage would be to file your coupons by date. How would you find a coupon you wanted to use at a particular store if they are filed by date? For example, you find L'Oreal hair color is on sale at the store and you know you also have a $2 off coupon for it in your binder. How do you find that particular coupon if they are all filed by date?
where did you get that cool calculator! love your vids good information and tips! your one of the ones i love watching most to talk about coupons! thanks!
So I've switched my binder over to the date method, but I'm curious as to how you know what's in there when you take it with you to the store. All I can figure is to print off a list for RP, SS, PG, etc. each week from the insert schedule and put it at the front of that date. How do you do it? Also, do you still use some baseball card sheets for your loose cpns?
I really want to start couponing, and I have been on your website all day lol. But I am still kinda clueless and also scared that the cashiers are going to give me trouble at the register. Do you guys let the cashiers know that you are going to be using many coupons?
Could you ladies please do a vid on how to use the BOGO coupons? I find this one of the hardest concepts to get and if I don't get it I don't think I have a chance of getting the stores to accept it. This sure would be a lot easier if the stores would make their policy's clearer. Thanks so much. I've been watching your vids and stalking your site and have learned so much!
@Ultimatecruegirl If u have a riteaid drugstore near you and you have a bogo coupon and they have that same item on sale in theirstore as bogo, take in your coupon and both items are free. Its worded just that way on their coupon policy. But you'r right bogo can be confusing.
I got a great 5 inch binder for 35 cents from Good Will! It looked brand new!
Why are these videos so old three years for this one ..Looking forward to recent videos from the Krazy coupon ladies..........
Here I was clipping each insert, omg! It will be so much easier now sorting and then cutting to put by category. Great great great! !

This is the best organization video I've seen!
do you actually take those huge binders with you to the grocery store?
@chilepeppr4 It's a mix of that. We clip the ones we would buy if the item was FREE or a money maker; even if it's something we just donate.

@TheKrazyCouponLady Ooh, yeah! I find those types really helpful.
You can also find the baseball card holders at Target in the toy section where the pokemon cards etc. that's where I found mine.

thanks very helpful....
I am left handed too!
If you have a comic book store, you can probably get the baseball cards cheaper. I paid $20 for a 100 page pack. :D
no comments? i'll be the first! i love you guys, huge fan! (:
@Ultimatecruegirl I agree. I m lost on BOGO and when items are BOGO at same time.
Did you use coupons to pay for your supplies :P
Wow... it looks like that binder on your right (our left) might cause you to fall over when you carry it! ;)
I like the krazy coupon lady and did you know on her other videos she looked like she was pregnant
