How to Organize your Coupon Inserts







Smart Source, Red Plum and once a month P&G are the coupon inserts you receive in the Sunday paper. Mark them in the top left corner the date you receive them or the date that is on the spine. Those that you receive in your junk mail mark them with the upcoming Sunday's date as well.






Instead of cutting coupons and trying to keep them organized.... don't. You can put them in a 3 ring binder. If you get multiple inserts put them all in one sleeve. Keep them in chronological order. I put my most recent in front.





After a while you will have so many inserts that you may choose to use a file. Paperclip your similar inserts together and keep your Smart Source, P&G, & Red Plum in separate folders.





You can also choose to use an accordion folder. ________See what you like & use it!

How to Start

Welcome to Grocery Smarts
____________________________________________________
It is so easy! I use a FREE website that helps me plan my weekly shopping list. They enter the store ads sales & match the sales in the stores with coupons. I get coupon inserts from the Sunday paper (one for each person in my family). By combining the shopping list with the coupons, I save a ton!!
_____________________________________________________
Now you might think that one paper for each member of your family is a lot but, the idea is that if you buy 4 of something when it is at it's cheapest it can last you till it goes on sale again. Whereas if you only have one for a family of 4 it doesn't last and you'll have to go to the store and buy it full price when you need it.
