I tried. I tried to do it the way that those women do it on Extreme Couponing. They keep everything in tact, write the date they received the insert, and then organize it all. That system just doesn’t work for me! I always end up losing my inserts. I can’t handle it!
So, over the weekend, I clipped all the coupons I had, dusted off my binder and organized them by category. I am SO much happier because now I can print coupons from the computer again. I’ve been doing OK the last few months – but nowhere NEAR how great I was doing all last year.
So cutting coupons is back. And I can’t wait for Sunday.
