How I choose to organize my coupons

So, I've noticed many different ways. Some just take a simple white envelope, some have a huge binder with baseball card inserts neatly holding their coupons. For me, it's the accordion folder. 

Each pouch inside is labeled with a month and I choose to organize my coupons by expiration date. This folder is only for food coupons.

Do you use MyMixx?

MyMixx is an app for Shaws. You can see the current sales, clip digital coupons, get digital receipts, find recipes and make your grocery list. All you need to do is enter your phone number you registered at MyMixx on the keypad at the store, then all the digital coupons you clipped are subtracted.

Who is the Money Saving Mama?

My name is Kristen and I'm a 33 year old mother of 3 from Dover, NH. I receive SSDI due to disability and food stamps so I need to find every possible way to save money. I try not to pay full price for anything. With 3 growing kids who eat constantly the biggest area I try to save on is groceries. I follow www.DealsByDarlene.com. She posts the weekly match ups and links to print coupons. I only have my phone and no internet (I do everything using data on my phone) so I don't print coupons. I buy what I need from www.klip2save.com (they charge $0.08 per coupon and you can order any amount that you want and there is a $1 shipping cost). I also get my inserts from the Boston Sunday Globe and the Fosters Sunday Citizen. I clip it all, then I sort it by expiration date and file it away in my accordion folder. I have a slot for every month. I also follow the Facebook group Shaws Couponing Gossip. It's the best to find the deals. I only shop at Shaws. They double coupons, have a markdown meat section and often run 10/$10 sales. You will get the most savings by shopping there.
