I found a nice black wallet coupon organizer with a flip out notepad for taking notes – at Walmart. It was located in the school supply area with other accordion files. Mine was about $8.99, and I feel was worth the cost. I bought it about a month ago, and I have seen them re-stock this item. It is very popular.

I use the notepad for tracking how many purchases I’ve added to my cart during Kroger Mega Events, and for jotting down things I must remember to buy. I never go to the store with a full list, because I tend to put too much on the list. I prefer to use the coupons on hand as my list, and try to only purchase what I have a coupon for.

My method of organization combines a little bit of all your suggestions but all my coupons go with me to the grocery store in two “Photo Brag Books” (Dollar Store) each one can hold 96 @ 4″ x 6″ photos so they are perfect for coupons. I can see all my coupons at a glance. I keep one book for food related items and the other for everything else! I group the coupons by kind – Frozen Foods, Dairy, Canned Goods, Drinks etc and find that this works very well. Before I go shopping I print my “Sale List”, add prices and the expected cost of each item after coupons and then pull the matching coupons and paper clip them to the list. I use your suggestion of an envelope to pull and keep my coupons in as I load my cart. My local Publix is quite used to me now, coming in with my green recycle shopping bag full of my “couponing stuff” I also keep a pen, calculator, note paper and scissors in my bag, just in case!!!! You have no idea how much your blog helps us all out here!!!
Thanks

ilja – http://free.avg.com/ That is what I use and our computer guy said it was just as good as the paid programs! :)

Heather – I found mine at Meijer, of course! It was around $7.99 or so? The dimensions are 5 1/2″ x 10 1/2″. I’m going to look and see if I can find one online anywhere! It is a fabric based…it is hard to find one that isn’t that plastic stuff. I don’t find the plastic durable. My fabric one is very durable and expands well! Love it and it is hard to find! :)

I also count my coupons before I go through the check out land- and depending on the cashier- write down the # of coupons per price point. Sometimes, they will accidentally skip one or the computer printed ones get stuck together.
