How to Organize Coupons

Setting Up a Coupon Organizer

Coupons are excellent budget-balancing tools if used consistently from week to week. Groceries and household supplies are unavoidable expenses, and using manufacturer’s coupons can add up to big savings. Although many people like the idea of using coupons, the task of clipping and sorting them on a regular basis can be daunting.

How to Organize Coupons in a Logical Manner

A simple approach is to sort coupons into categories that mirror the order of the aisles at a couponer's most frequented grocery store. This makes shopping easier, as the coupons will already be in the correct order as he or she navigates the aisles. Additionally, most grocery stores have similar layouts, so this format should be fairly easy to use everywhere.

Suggested Coupon Categories

The categories shown below are based on the order of the aisles in a typical grocery store. To set up a coupon organizer, start with the number of available categories, then list the major product categories based on the order of the aisles at the chosen store. Note that there are 13 categories below because many standard coupon organizers have 13 sections.

Personal Care / Medicine

Cleaning / Other Household Supplies

Meat / Dairy

Sauces / Dressings / Condiments / Jellies

Canned Goods / Soups

Pasta / Rice / Seasonings / Crackers

Beverages

Flour / Baking / Oil

Cereal / Breakfast Foods

Paper Goods / Containers

Baby

Frozen Food / Bread

Dessert / Snacks

Make sure to sort coupons into narrow enough categories that each section is not overflowing with coupons. If necessary, expand into two coupon organizers in order to sort coupons into more specific categories.

Make It Intuitive

Make sure to organize coupons in a way that makes sense. If an organization method seems completely unintuitive, it will make sorting through the stash of coupons a frustrating experience.

For example, if there are some categories of items rarely purchased for a household, it would make sense to group these categories together, regardless of their location in the store. Separating them into their own category eliminates the need to sort through them every time a coupon is needed; however, by clipping them and keeping them on hand, they are available when needed to take advantage of an excellent deal.

Once a couponer has learned the basics of saving money with coupons, he or she should find a way to organize coupons that will make sorting and using them a cinch. A simple yet intuitive organization method will cut down on the time required to maintain a current stash of coupons.
