Hi. I'm Dianne and you can reach me if I win at dibeedee@yahoo.com. I recently discovered couponing again and I am totally hooked. I am so proud of how much I've been able to save, not only for myself but for many friends and family members that I pass along extra "freebies" to. It would seem like Christmas if I won your coupon giveaway.

Great giveaway! I organize my coupons in a binder by categories (bath, health, cleaning, etc.) and then by subcategories (bath: hair, lotion, teeth, etc.). It really helps me find things quickly in the store.

I use a binder to organize. I also was able to get a RR at wags yesterday, and used a coupon on the item that was giving the RR, so I feel like I accomplished something with coupons yesterday. Great giveaway Jennifer, count me in!

Looks like I am in the moniority. I clip...and file into a box. Once a week or so I pull out coupons that expire in the next week. Right before they expire, I go through them to make sure there are none that I really need to use (even if the product wasn't on sale recently). That keeps me from letting good ones expire. Thanks for the giveaway. honeysmith (at) bellsouth (dot) net

I live in a fairly small town, so we don't have the triple coupon deals or anywhere that offers loyalty cards, but I do use coupons! I use a flex coupon organizer. =)
April 13, 2009 at 11:25 AM
the best deal i ever got was almost 500 dollars worth of groceries for under 10.00 i had a lot of free items a lot of bogos with coupons for the original and combined them with sales thanks for the giveaway minsthins at optonline dot net

I use the binder method...but I have a tip: instead of baseball trading card pages, I use photo album pages desgined for 5x7 pictures. I never have to fold coupons!!
Thanks for the opportunity!

I love coupons! I don't get them very often because, of where I live. However, I like to write companies and tell them how I like the products and they mail me coupons sometimes.

One of my favorite coupons ever was a $.75 one for Digiorno pizza that could be doubled, so when they went on sale, well you guessed it, thats when we bought them. We like the Taste of Digiorno pizza, Freschetta is ok but prefer Digiorno frozen.

I love coupons...I am fairly new to this but am catching on! Our paper doesn't really have many good coupons, so on Sundays I sent my hubby out to get me a few of the big papers.

Hi! My name is Nicole and I'm a coupon addict. I love to stack store and manufacturer's coupons at Walgreens or Target and really rake in the savings.
I also search the online printables after I make my grocery shopping list to see if there are any more coupons I can use.
April 13, 2009 at 4:33 PM
I am fairly new to couponing, but love that it helps me stretch our family's budget so that I can continue to stay home with my boys. I use a coupon pouch now but am looking to "graduate" to a binder to be a little more efficient!

I use a coupon organizer and have separate categories for each type of product. I love coupons. I've been encouraging my mother to use them and we have what I call, 'Coupon Trips'. We go to the store together and I help her organize and use her coupons. She's starting to get the hang of it but doesn't want to try it alone yet, lol.
April 13, 2009 at 8:44 PM
I am a wannabe couponer. I have a hard time keeping them organized. I see you have some good information on your blog. Maybe there is hope for me yet. Thanks!

I carry around a coupon organizer. I left the first opening empty so I can put the coupons I'm going to use for that day. So I won't forget at the store

I have a pool set up with friends about who can save the most off of their bills. Cub Foods shows you the percentage you save on the bottom of your receipt. I am still fairly new to coupons but the best percentage I have had so far was 42% saved. Thanks for the chance

Hi I am Kammie, I have just started couponing and I LOVE IT!! My husband & children are shocked at the great deals I have gotten by using my coupons... I haven't bought baby wipes in a month by using my coupons having friends give me coupons. I would just be awesome if I won.. you can e-mail dawsonkammie@yahoo.com if I win & Thanks
April 14, 2009 at 1:21 PM
I use coupons almost everytime I go to the store. Just yesterday I paid about thirty cents for one dozen eggs and an egg dying kit for next Easter because of a great coupon I had! Doesn't sound like much but it does add up!

I love using coupons for saving money as well as "making" it! Last week I spent 15 cents for over $50 worth of items at Walgreens. The week before I spent 12 cents for nearly $50 worth of items at CVS! Thanks so much for your site!

I have 2 coupon organizers for grocery shopping and CVS/Walgreens. I put the coupons I know I will definitely use in the grocey one. I put coupons from drugstore categories in the CVS/WAGS one in case a good deal comes up in the store. Then I hold onto the inserts with date and which newspaper they are from (Tribune has great coupons and local paper so-so ones.) This method isn't 100% perfect, but overall I think it allows me to work the deals the best. I subscribe to 4 moneysaving blogs and will probably subscribe to yours too since I came upon it from Gaming The System today. Thanks! muzak23@netzero.com

When I was growing up my mom always cut out coupons. She would go through the grocery ads and make her shopping list, then go through the envelope she kept them in to get the ones for that trip. I guess she passed that on to me because I always check the Sunday paper inserts to see if I should go buy another paper. I keep mine in an accordion style plastic organizer that I can keep in my pocketbook.
April 14, 2009 at 5:32 PM
I am preparing to organize my coupons in a binder!

I love to coupon & save money. I love doing Target & Walgreen's when you can use their coupon & mfg. coupon. It can get you some great deals sometimes! I carry my coupons in a coupon book(really it's an old CD carrier I converter to my coupon book.) My Sunday paper inserts I carry with me in a file box.
April 14, 2009 at 9:06 PM
I keep my coupons in a binder. I pass on coupons to my sisters and mom. I receive coupons from some of my husband's co-workers, take what I want and pass them on kind of like a coupon train. Thanks for the chance.

Hmm. Well, my two year old and I cut coupons together - well, I cut out the coupons and she cuts/shreds the rest of the pieces of paper. Just have to make sure she gets them after I get the coupons off ;) We've had a couple coupons fall victim to her clipping techniques and that was a tough moment!
Thanks :D
April 15, 2009 at 12:17 PM
I make myself a deal...if I save at least 20% off my shopping trip with coupons, I deposit a portion into my "manicure fund." All that clipping is hell on the nails!
April 15, 2009 at 12:38 PM
I got some really good deals at Kroger a couple of weeks ago. They were doubling coupons up to $2. They are supposed to be doing it again soon. Would love to be able to use these there!

I organize my coupons in a plastic organizer and I keep them by category, like frozen, cold food, dry food, bathroom, cleaning products and then in those sections I put them in order of expiration date, it makes finding coupons so much easier!
April 15, 2009 at 2:14 PM
I just started using coupons- so no realy cool organizational tip- I use a file accordian thingy I seperated into basic categories like "Meat", Dairy, Beverages, Cleaning supplies- I know- pretty boring- but Im learning!! :)

Sweet prize! I recently switched my coupons from a coupon pouch to a binder. I have my pros and cons as I use the binder method but until I find something that works for me I'll stick with it.
April 15, 2009 at 4:42 PM
My favorite coupon organizer is an old Pampers baby wipe container. It's water-proof, has a snap lid (which I also rubber-band), and is deep enough for 4x6 index cards to use as divders.

My coupon tip (though this is not originally my own idea) would be that if you have many coupons in a single transaction to hand them over to the cashier one at a time. It helps me to KNOW FOR CERTAIN that ALL of my coupons were accounted for espcially since some of the internet printed ones tend to stick together. I thought I'd get negative responses from cashier's but (so far) they've been receptive.
Thank you for offering this giveaway. One can never have enough coupons in my opinion! :)

My best coupon tip is to share. My neighbor and I swap coupon inserts every Monday morning. You usually don't use the same things anway. You can also join an online coupon trading site and get other coupons you will use.

My best deal was when I had a $5 off $50 purchase at Target (from Dr. Seuss day) and combined that with a lot of coupons for "free" items (free after coupon, such as the Buddies soaps). I got over 88.00 worth of merchandize for 3.87!
