I got an email for one of my readers who just started couponing. She was all excited about starting to save money. She got her first set of Sunday papers and felt defeated 3 hours later…..when she was STILL clipping coupons. So I thought I would share a few of my tips on how I am able to clip 10 sets of coupons, and file them away in less than an hour.
Start out by separating the coupon insert, on the floor or table. Do this to all the coupon insert that are the same….so you now have stacks of pages that are the same.
Once you have all the pages laid out in piles……make sure they are nice and in order.
I then put a staple in the middle of the coupon, on the photo normally. DO NOT staple the bar code or the expiration date. When you staple the coupons all together they are easier to cut because the papers do not shift. Plus you only have to put one stack of coupon away…instead of 10 separate coupons.
When I clip the coupon I go ahead and give myself a little extra room around the edges to make sure I do not cut part of the coupons off. And just like that you have clipped 10 coupons in the time it takes to clip 1. This is what works for me….hope it helps someone else too.
