No binder for.me. I use an envelope with a list written on it. Coupons in envelope in list order.

Zip in and out of store. No looking around.
Me too, at least most of the time, sometimes I still have to check clearance endcaps. I usually bring one extra envi with stuff I hope to find like clothing TQs and a few extra up & up pain reliever, revlon tools in case they come back in stock.

Can anyone tell me how the schick b1g1 are acting? A PM would be great if you have the info. I have them in my envie but like to be prepared at checkout. Thanks.
If it is the BOGO Shick up to $10.50 it beeps INF. Not sure what it will do now but the last time I used it about two days ago all the cashier had to do was hit k1 and $10.50 would auto deduct.

I tried to do a binder a long time ago but it was a pitb for me. I have seen LOTS of people in my area shopping with binders. I'm another write shopping list on envelope and put coupons inside person. I also write the number of each coupon on the outside so I can keep track as I put items in the cart.

I have been asked about the extreme couponer and I use the opportunity to let them know how fake the show really is. Smilie Run into a lot of shelf clearers here as well.
I see lots of binder shoppers. I have tried the binder a few different times. I don;t know what it is but that just doesn't work for me.
Really nothing at all works for me but just plain old envelopes. I have a few plastic shoe boxes full of envies labeled with different catagories.

Mostly I try to make my runs into envies as I get and or cut coupons. I have 4 or 6 envies out and once I cut/print I put in envie and write list on outside of envie. After 5 yrs that is the only way I can do it, I am to disorganized for anything else. Over half my shoe box is sorted the front has stuff I still need to catagorize or am planning to use soon. It is also where I add found coupons to before I use or sort them like peelies, tearpads, etc.

I know it's late, but can anyone use a $5 Kohls coupon that expires today? I have some and don't feel like shopping. Send me a PM if you want one or two.

laugh out loud yeah I read about 7 pgs. or so back in the T. thread.....figured I better get up-to-date in case I end up going this week. over-reacting for sure. I realize there are some less common instances where more than 4 is appropriate (huge family, live waaay far away, etc.) I think 4 is fair and will help with stock issues, whether that be happening because of one person or several in any given area. I'm sure I've rarely used more than 4 (though I can't remember a time) and most of the time am buying 1-2 of any given item anyway....and I'm about 25 min. away from T. now. what I'm not quite getting is why the couple tq's that came out today limit to one per guest? so does that mean they may start limiting to one? now that I would probably disagree with but not get my panties in a bunch over it....it is what it is.

Every time more changes like this come about I am even more glad we've changed our shopping habits some. More Aldi and grocery store super-sales, somewhat less couponing....don't get me wrong I still use them, just not on the same level as before. If I want to eat less processed foods I have to spend more of my grocery budget on that anyway, plus my distance from the stores I couponed more at has increased, and got sick of empty shelves when I did go. I didn't think the deals had been as good anyway and it was time to revamp and re-evaluate. For me in my situation it has definitely been better. With not spending SO much time clipping, sorting, making lists, shopping, etc. I have more time for exercise, family, etc. and spend less in gas money Smilie

I agree, 4 is a good number. 99% of the time, I use 4 like coupons anyway. The problems I have are
1. stores can refuse any coupon at any time for any reason- we all know how they come up with stupid reasons for why coupons beep, and use that to refuse coupons (just an example). I call it, the gods are bowling theory of coupon refusal

2. I already ran into this yesterday- cashier had to call a supervisor over if someone had "a lot" of coupons. GSTL said they can accept 1 mq and 1 tq per item. I said yes, I have 4 of the same item and she replied that I can only use 1 no matter how many items because it's one mq and one tq. Completely misinformed or they have some serious reading comprehension issues there

3. demanding coupons up front and wasting everyone's time matching them to items on the belt before even scanning. I have other stores that do this and I do not shop there because I don't have the patience or the time for this.

nod I rarely if ever use more than 4 like coupons MQ or TQ. Yesterday I watched a cashier hand back a Revlon CAT MQ to a customer because they were using the $2 Revlon TQ. Facepalm Just because it has the bullseye doesn't mean it is a TQ. Facepalm

I wanted to suggest that the cashier enroll in...



I decided to Shutup and wheel to another lane. laugh out loud

I always prefer to go with "reading is Fundamental" but the gists of the slogans is the same. I love it when they argue about whether its a MFR Q when it says so right across the top. Grrrr...

And yes I've had that happen here as well. I did use 8 mq today because I found that I had 8 of the Schick bogo left that expire today. Had to use those up! Also had 8 of the Suave b2g1 but since those state limit 2, only used 2. Too bad those expire today as well.

Don't even get me started on cashiers/ gstl that won't allow ANY coupons if there is a gift card deal involved. Facepalm

I know because of some wonderful couponer who decided to use coupons they did not have or on other items they are not intended for, I am now suffering from having to give them the q's after the enter the item so they can see I am getting that item. If I don't have many q's this is not bad but if I have a lot then it is a pain.

See, that's the thing, they like to accuse someone that uses " a lot" of coupons as doing that exact thing but I don't think it's as widespread as they are making it out to be. jmo
