Organization

After a year of couponing I realize that I still need to work on my organizational skills. Just this morning I tossed out a bunch of coupons from my expando file that were way wayy out of date...like over 3 mos out of date. Not even useful to mail to the troops & their families overseas. I thought of all the money I wasted buying newspapers to get those coupons. Money down the drain.
However, the hiatus I took from couponing did give me a chance to figure out what methods of obtaining coupons worked and which didn't. So now, I simply get coupons from a friend every monday and I also order from ebay or a coupon clipping service the coupons I need. It's much cheaper than buying a ton of papers AND I'm guarunteed of getting the coupons (and the amt. of coupons) I need. But, I still need to figure out how to organize it all! Right now I have coupons sitting in my "coupon inbox" and coupon binder. I'm sure I'll figure out a system that works for me and when I do, I'll be more efficient than ever!
