Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting 24-hour giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!
I’m always looking for new and improved ways to organize my coupons, so I was excited when Amy Bergin, creator of The Couponizer, asked if I’d like to test drive one. The first thing I noticed about The Couponizer is that it comes with everything a beginning coupon user needs: spiral-bound coupon booklet with coupon pockets, coupon-sorting pad, shopping list, savings tracker, scissors, and a handy clear plastic pouch to store it all. This is a fantastic way to get comfortable with using coupons and learning what works for you as far as sorting and storing them.
Now I’ve mentioned in the past that I use the file-by-insert method, so you might wonder how a product like this could work for me. As it turns out, it’s actually the perfect supplement to my current method.
I’ve always had a hard time organizing my printable coupons and other loose coupons that I receive in the mail. The Couponizer is great for sorting these coupons that I have a tendency to forget about, and it also has pockets for my store loyalty cards, as well as folders for storing coupons I plan to use in a given shopping trip. There’s also a folder for coupons to use at checkout, so you can move them over when you actually place the item in your cart, and a folder to store expiring coupons so you can make sure they’re used in a given month.

I use a coupon wallet for organizing my coupons.
Cory
I use a tiny pink expandafile for my coupons.. it gets tedious looking for them but I try to have the ones I know I will need out when I go to the store. I would love a better way to keep track of my savings :-)
Jenny
I began couponing using the binder system, but I didn’t find it to be as convenient as I hoped it would be. Now, I keep an envelope in my purse with the coupons I know I’ll need. Having them in my purse guarantees I’ll always have the coupons with me when I’m at the store.
This storage system would be great though b/c it would allow me to organize my coupons but appears small enough to fit in my purse!

I am fairly new to couponing so I’m still trying to find the best way to organize. I use a three ring binder with clear baseball card holders. So far this works pretty well but I still need to refine it!
Rhonda
I use a binder, more acurately, it used to be a sticker binder for scrapbooking, but now….it’s become couponified!!!
Catherine
I used to keep them in a large zip loc bag and just shuffle thru what i wanted before going to the grocery store. Now I have manilla envelopes with the name of the store on the outside and a sticky sheet on the front. I write the items I found coupon match ups for or the items to buy with everything inside, including the loyalty card. It’s worked so far but I need a better system.
Emily
I just registered for the forums and am hopefully joining a coupon train:)
Jackie
I keep them in a file cabinet till I need to go to the store then I rummage through to find the ones I need to take.
Mel
Right now I use the file folder system, but am having the very same problem you do – those printables and “loose” coupons!
Michel-lee
Currently, I keep my coupons in envelopes. This was my own mother’s technique. I’ve been wanting to covert to a binder. The couponizer would be great to have!
Laura Barrett
I keep my coupons in a big, lidded box, then put the ones I am using for a shopping trip in a small divided organizer that I can carry in my purse.
Jaime
I store my coupons in baseball card sleeves within in a binder.

Stephanie

Jaime
I subscribe to your emails.
Laura Ermine
I purchased the $1 photo “brag” books in the checkout line one day. I put all my coupons in these little books! I can see them, they are water proof for those rainy trips to the store, and fit nicely in my purse and in the glovebox in the car!
Jodi
I use an old wallet to store mine.
Lindsey abney
I am new to couponing, I have all my coupons stuffed in a pencil bag:( I saw the couponizer on the Internet and thought it would be perfect, I just haven’t been able to get one.
k vaughan
I use a binder with photo sleeves, organized by category. It also has extra space to hold uncut inserts, sissors, and coupons I want to use right away. It also has a shoulder strap to make transporting it with the kids a bit easier!
Karen
I do not have a way to store my coupons. They are just put in an envelople.
Sarah
I currently store my coupons in a 3 ring binder.
Rosa Lee
I file by insert. For loose coupons I use a zipper binder with a combination of baseball card pages and currency pages. I use peel off tabs as dividers so they are easy to change. I also subscribe to your On Demand emails.
Sarah
I just use a zipper pouch. not super organized so i could really use this, being new to coupons!
