Thrifty Thursday: Coupon Organizer and Easter Savings

When I started my couponing, I started with a coupon accordion folder that had only 8 sections in it. It worked out well at first but as I obtained more coupons, it became flooded and I could not see what I had and my coupons became expired. So since my coupons have increased, I have moved to a coupon binder. I have not moved up to taking my complete binder to the store yet, but I sort and take my coupons to the store with my original coupons folder that fits into my purse.To do some recycling I have, used my old wedding planning binder as my coupon binder. My binder is set up following the Krazy Coupon Lady suggest.

My binder is set up per their categories. Click here and you can download the Krazy Coupon Lady  directions on how to set up your binder.

If you do not like their set up, you can look at Mom Saves.com to see how they can set up a coupon binder.  I am sure that there are many ways to set up a binder or organize your coupons, you just have to find what works for you.

Thanks for sharing this! I've been thinking of switching to a binder and using my old wedding one is a great idea. I'm outgrowing my regular coupon holder. I've got to many coupons!!

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy.

It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

Wedded Wednesday: Thanksgiving Traditions

With the holidays coming,  I am thinking about how I want to spend them with the hubby. We do the same thing every year for Thanksgiving and make a road trip to spend it with his family. I usually go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving starting at 3:00am and usually come home and sleep the rest of the day. I was looking at starting some sort of new traditions on the Saturday after Thanksgiving that we can do for years to come. Maybe like putting up the Christmas tree (this is my vote), taking an annual holiday photo, doing some shopping together or maybe doing something relaxing like getting a couples massage. Of course, we will have to throw in some football and lots of left overs whatever we decide to do.Building new traditions, will be the traditions that will continue in our family  and define the holidays for years to come.  Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?
