Presenting…My Coupon Organizer!

I am inundated with coupons and more coupons every week, especially here in the US, when almost every shopping trip involves coupons of every kind imaginable: free bonus gifts, additional discounts, special purchase prices and so much more.  It’s so hard to keep track of  every coupon that I have earned, and sometimes I find myself tearing my hair out because some coupons had expired without me knowing it.

I store my coupons in my purse, and also some on my kitchen counter.  And I find myself rummaging for the coupons every time I go shopping…sometimes it gets embarrassing, you know.

So when I stumbled upon this 7-pocket accordion file in the Target Dollar section last week, I immediately knew I could use it as a coupon holder/organizer.  It comes in 4 colors :neon pink, neon green, blue and white patterned, and black.  I chose the black one, because I didn’t really want to draw attention to my coupon organizer.

See how nifty it is?  It fits snugly into my palm, just like a long wallet would!

You can pretty much use it to store anything from receipts, bills, cards…but I choose to use it as a coupon organizer.  Inside, it is compartmentalized with label holders too!

 It comes with those regular label stickers for you to customize it to your liking.  However, you know I can never be contented with mere white labels, so I snagged these at Target!

Pretty printed paper tape, or better known as washi tape!  4 for $4, but the ones I got, in the reddish and pinkish hues  were on sale for $3!

I stuck them onto the plastic label stickers, wrote out the categories and then fixed them onto the label holders in the coupon organizer!!

I couldn’t believe how pretty that turned out!  Next, all I had to do was segregate my coupons into the different compartments!

Totally loving this!  And best of all, if I needed a change in the label names, all I had to do was tear out the washi tape labels and create a new one!

…I’m off looking for other organizing opportunities now! 😀
