Day 3: Get Organized!

Organizing your coupons will either make or break your couponing experience. But don’t worry – we have a few different methods to help you keep all of those little slips of paper organized.

FILE BOX METHOD

Introducing the compact, easy-to-use, feather-weight file box. All you do is:
  • Get a box -- make sure it’s divided on the inside by either folders or tabs.
  • Pull all of the inserts out of the newspaper and plop them in a file folder.
  • Label each tab or folder with the date and name of the insert. Since we list the coupons with this info, it’ll make finding them a cinch. For example, when you see this coupon matched up with a sale on Yoplait at Target, you’ll know if came from the June 8th SmartSource.
$0.40/6 – Yoplait Yogurt Cups from SS 6/8 Voila! You’re organized.

BINDER METHOD

Of course, if you’re a little more extreme, have more time or just a stronger desire to be organized, you can always use the binder method.

1. Organize by Category

Organizing by category takes more time up front, less time shopping, and at one time was the most popular method amongst Krazy Ladies polled on our website. It requires a few hours of time each week to clip and organize all your coupons. You’ll use baseball card holders to store the clipped coupons. 60 pages is probably enough, and these run about $5 for a package of 30. After you’ve purchased your card holders, feel free to use the Krazy Coupon Lady’s Printable Table of Contents and Category Pages to further perfect your organization. With each coupon in it’s own slot in the right category, shopping becomes heavenly. Download here. Now your organization is complete, and you’re ready for the real fun: how and when to use your coupons. Come on over to Day 4: Timing is Everything

FOX NEWS HOST REFUSES TO BOARD PLANE WITH BLACK FEMALE PILOT

By Anonymous -
conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has lost her mind! She refused to stay on board a Miami to New York flight after learning the pilot was a Black woman. According to witnesses, Coulter was concerned the experienced, decorated pilot may have gained her position as a result of affirmative action and wasn’t fully qualified to fly. The incident began when Coulter boarded the American Airlines flight and took up her first class seat. After a trip to the bathroom, she noticed the pilot was a black woman and became immediately distraught. According to passengers, at that point Coulter stood at the front of the cabin and began screaming her concerns to the entire flight as they finished boarding. “Aw come on people, a black woman flying a plane? You know she got that job through affirmative action. Am I the only one worried about this? I mean hello? Our lives are at stake here…” The confused passengers weren’t sure what to make of Coulter’s outburst, and rema...

After pouring thousands of dollars into her decrepit house, Tocco Collins made the heartbreaking discovery that she had been seriously scammed. The mother of 12 had waited patiently for her landlords to deliver on their promises to fix the house’s holes, broken windows and burned out light box, CBS Atlanta reports. But after seven months, Collins learned that the phonies she had been paying $600 a month in rent didn’t own the home and had also skipped town. The actual owner had no idea her home was being rented out. “Step by step, I’m trying to make some effort,” Collins told the news outlet. “Right now I’m lost.” The Atlanta mother and her children are now homeless. They’re also at risk of getting broken up by child services, a devastating fate that do-gooders are trying to prevent. Members of Occupy Atlanta are raising money for the family to buy a new home, and volunteers said they would help renovate the new residence after it’s secured. Getting duped by a ...

Larry Smith, producer of some of the most cherished hip-hop records of the Eighties, including Run-D.M.C. 's first two albums, died Thursday at the age of 63. Radio host Combat Jack broke the news on Twitter , writing: "Just spoke to his family. RIP Larry Smith, the original King of Beats who passed away last night."
