Clipping Multiple Coupons

I usually buy multiple Sunday papers to maximize the number of coupons that I have to stockpile with. Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE COUPONS?

I prefer to clip the coupons that I think that I will use- and I toss the rest of the insert. I streamline my clipping time by clipping all of my coupons at once. I set out all of the identical coupon insert booklets (Red Plum, Smart Source...) in front of me.

Then I pull the top page of coupons - matching up all of my identical coupons.

I like to paperclip each coupon set that I intend to keep. The paperclips serve several purposes:

1. The clips hold my pages together so that I can accurately clip without botching any of my expiration dates or important data.

2. The clips keep all of my like coupons together so that when I am flipping through my coupon box to fish out all of a particular coupon to match to a sale flyer- I easily have all of the coupons that I may need.

3. The clips keep my multiple pages from squirming around as I clip.

4. The clips are great indicators to show me when I have clipped all of the coupons that I want from a particular page. It is easy to accidentally miss the coupons on the back page if you aren't paying attention.

5. It is much easier to file coupons that are grouped together.

Viola!
