Organize Your Coupons {Step 8}
It’s time for the next step in the paper clutter challenge. If you missed step 1 and the introduction, read about the paper clutter challenge here.

Today's task is to organize all your coupons and store loyalty cards. I've noticed that coupons contribute to a lot of the paper clutter that ends up scattered around my house. I'm not an avid couponer who saves every coupon, but I do like to save coupons for stores or restaurants that I might use. I also think it's very important to store the coupons where I'll actually use them – in my purse. It's super frustrating to get to the checkout at a clothing store and remember that I got a 20% off coupon, but it's sitting on my desk at home! That's why I came up with this system for organizing my coupons.
You can use this method or another that your prefer, but just get those coupons organized today.
Stop by the Facebook group or post on Instagram with hashtag #paperchallenge and let us know how you did with today’s challenge!

I have a ton of store loyalty coupons that get sent in the mail, and while I love getting them, I’m not very good at remembering where they are! For a while I kept them in my planner, but was never after them. So then I moved them into my wallet, and never remembered about them either. Now they are front and center in my (newly set up) grocery and food planner. I’m hoping that will help! I only have coupons for one store, though, so they are just kept in order of expiration date. I’m hoping it will work out!
I do like your creative use of a photo booklet – if someone were to also wish to separate coupons by type of product, that would be a great route to take!
