When I first began using coupons, my now 21 year old son was just 6 months old. Back then, my organization tools were envelopes and a pen. I simply used 12 envelopes with a Month written on each. I would take my clipped coupons and file them according to when they would expire. That worked for a while, but it was grossly inefficient. Back then, I did not have the internet at my disposal. I had only my store's weekly ad to refer to in order to try to maximize those coupons. Needless to say, I didn't score great deals very often, and couponing eventually fell to the way-side.
When I decided to re-incorporate coupons into my shopping routine, it became immediately apparent that I would need to be better organized. I turned to the internet, and soon found several options for organization.

End of The Month Coupons
It's April 30th.
If your like me, you have coupons in your possession that expire today.
One beginner misconception is the thought that because a coupon is expiring, it needs to be used.
I'd like to caution, however, against that.
Sure, it's sad to see coupons, or money NOT used. But, if you are only using the coupon to use it, are you really getting a great deal?
So think about the following before you run to your local store with all of your April 30 expiration date coupons:
1. Do you really NEED the item?
2. If I use it today, am I going to receive the item for FREE, or darn near it?
If so...go spend your coupon.
If not, set it aside and consider sending the coupons you don't use to our Nation's Military.
We posted about how to do so HERE!!!!!
Until Next Time
