With so many options available these days whether through publications or the Internet, it's important to be able to save coupons using some sort of organized method so you can use them effectively.
It's easy to visit an online web site and print out coupons, but it takes a little more work to categorize them for later use. The idea is to take whatever you print out or cut out of the Sunday newspaper inserts, and store them in a file box with labelled categories.
It's really a lot of fun to save a coupon you can actually use, such as the ones that offer 20% off for stores like Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It's even more enjoyable when you can develop a system where you can pick and choose the ones you will use on any specific items you'll need, and saving several dollars every time you make a purchase.
To save coupons effectively so they don't go to waste, here's a great method I love to use:
Get a medium-sized file box for all of your "couponing."
Use separate sections in the file for your main categories. In the front you can store your food coupons. In the middle you can store the ones for toiletries and miscellaneous household items. In the rear of the file, you can name it "retail purchases" and use that whenever you find good coupon deals on higher ticket items.
In each main section, you can start sub-categorizing your free coupons using entries such as dairy products, breakfast items, canned goods, etc. for your food entries. In the toiletries section you can label the sub-categories with household cleaners, soaps and shampoos, etc.
There really is no wrong or right way to do this. In fact, it's important to come up with your own system that you can feel comfortable with. The important point is to save coupons in a logical manner so you can stay organized which will, in turn, allow you to use them efficiently to save money before they expire.
