Ethical Couponing Before I conclude my Coupon series, I need to say a world on ethical couponing. As the world of coupons has changed, there is a scrutiny by the stores on the use of coupons.

Organizing Coupons Now, it’s time to organize your coupons. There are many ways to organize coupons. As with all things, you need to develop a system that works for you. I use a small Tupperware box that I bought. I’ve expanded past the point of an expandable coupon file, but that is a great way for beginners to start! Shoeboxes also work well. In my coupon box, I have mini folders / envelopes that sort and divide my coupons. Here’s a picture of my coupon box. What do you want your coupon box to be?

Introduction to Coupons Coupons – the tool of all good bargain hunters. I learned this skill from my Mom. When we were little, my sister and I used to help Mom clip coupons.
