Also, anyone know how much the Skinny Cow ice cream treats are?
Thanks, hope you are all having a great weekend.
I tear my flyers into single pages, cut and staple all coupons. As I am doing that, I throw them into two piles -- food, not food.
When I am done doing that, I put them in rough alphabetical order, just by first letter. (This just take a couple minutes)
Then I put them in my binders. I have one page of A's, one B's... Some letters I have more than one page. I have one page for G, but then I have a second G page that is all the Glade coupons, since there are almost always a bunch.
As I stick them in, I quickly glance at the other coupons, and purge the expireds.
Most weeks, it take me a little over an hour to do it. Weeks with the P&G flyer take a little longer. I put the flyers on my buffet when I get them because I can't stand stuff sitting around, that way I get it done and don't procrastinate and let them pile up.
Oh, and most important ---- as soon as I finish I put my binders back in the van so I don't go off and leave them home accidentally. And when I go into a store (ANY store) I carry my purse and two big black binders!!

well thanks for the system I will try that out...

I used to cut all the coupons that I "think" I may need, but it's very time consuming. It's a full time job...
I now leave my inserts intact (take out the ones that I need right away) and put them in a chronilogical order. Each week, depending on what's on sale, I will look at the coupon list/database and find which inserts the coupons are in. I keep inserts going back to 3 months.
I label each folder with the date the q's were released and what insert (i.e. Red Plum).
On the outside a staple a copy of the list of q's from Taylortown preview.
I then put all of the folders from the same day in one hanging folder together.
When I need a q I will either look through the list on each folder or I will go to Taylortown previews master list and use the control F function to do a search for q's.
This has saved me so much time, it's rediculous. The only downside is if I see a good deal while at the store I don't have the q, so I write it down and make a return trip. This doesn't usually happen though since everyone posts so many of the good deals so quickly.

Sorry for the rant. I'm very annoyed for everyone who works so hard.
