Default Unanswered: A question about organization

So far I have been organizing my coupons in the baeball card holders...then putting them in envelopes each week when the ads come out. Each envelope is for a different store. Occasionally I will just take my binder to see want kind of deals I can get that aren't in the paper, but most of the timeI do not have time for that. I am a teacher so in the summer I will do that a lot more.

So here is the question. When you see an early ad on here...do you go ahead and pull those coupons? Like would I go ahead and have 3-4 CVS coupons with different dates and go ahead and pull them early? What do most of you do?

Thanks in advance.

I usually just pull mine before a shopping trip instead of weeks in advance. I can keep track of what coupons I have easier that way because I'd forget what was in those envelopes if a better deal came along for a different store. Most of the time I just bring my binder with me to the store, though. Especially CVS, because many times they have clearanced items and I always love checking their travel sizes out too. HTH!

My binder rides shot gun with me. If I know I am going to do just one thing, like at Wags, I will have it pulled. I can always go to the car. I am lucky and have a photographic memory, so I know if I have a coupon or not. CVS I will take with me in the store and also at the grocery store. WM I would just pull q's and stick them in my wallet.

I usually pull the ones on my list Sat. or Sun. morning.
Then YES, my binder goes!! To many great clearance finds lately to not have Qs with me!
Sounds like you do about the same as me.

I pull any that I see that are going to be on sale and I will use them and buy the item. Once you are stocked up you can pick and choose which ones you want to use. I only buy toilet paper/paper towels once every 3 months or so. Same thing for other items that don't go bad.
