My New Coupon book

So last week I created a new coupon book. I was using an accordion folder, a coupon book, and plain envelopes and I was all over the place.  

I ordered baseball card holders (couldn't find any in a store) and got a three ring binder and some sticky tabs by post it.
I divided my coupons by type and all coupons that are the same are now together in the same spot. I didn't keep my coupons separated by when and where they came from but from now on out I will be able to tell you which insert and date they are from. All new coupons will go into a new sleeve with a tab of the date and source.

I got several compliments about my book as I was flipping through, finding what I needed quickly and pulling them out. If I was using the coupon I would stick that coupon and how many I needed in the front pocket for easy checkout.

Since some coupons are too big to fit flat inside I fold them so the picture is showing. That way I can just glance for the type of product I'm looking for and then see what I have for it.

I really liked how easy this system was Friday when I went and highly recommend it for you guys too. Sort them for what works for you (beauty, grocery, detergent, dog food, etc) but I am going to sort by date and source!
