Tackle It Tuesday – Coupon Binder

I’ve gone back and forth for a long time trying to figure out what kind of coupon organization system would work best for us.  Mostly, I didn’t want to invest in supplies to find out it was a waste of time & money because it didn’t work.

Recently however, I watched a series of tutorial videos on the Coupon Divas site, including one on how she set up her coupon binder.  It all made sense to me and I had a decent Amazon balance from Swagbucks so I decided to give it a try.

So far, it seems like a good system. I have a better idea of what coupons I have to start with because I have to concentrate a little more while I put them in categories. And while I’m in the store, its very easy to see what I have with a quick flip of a page.

Do you coupon? How do you have your coupons organized?

De-clutter crazy!

Saturday morning, Keith took the kiddo and had some Daddy/Daughter time and I got much-appreciated quiet Mommy time! Win-win for everyone!!

I took advantage of the toddler free time to do some tasks that would be pretty much impossible. De-cluttering the downstairs bathroom cabinet & my baking cabinet.

I didn’t think to take a before picture of the bathroom cabinet and I don’t know that I would have shared it anyway. Its mostly a guest bathroom but its cabinet had become a convenient place to toss extra medications, sunscreens, half used tubes of toothpaste, you name it! I threw out almost an entire garbage bag of stuff!

After going through the bathroom I decided to take a shot at my baking cabinet. I’m short and the cabinet is high so when its time to put things away, I typically would just chuck it and hope it stayed.

It shouldn’t be a huge surprise that the cabinet ended up looking like this.

So I emptied it all out and started over.

Have you been bitten by the spring cleaning bug? Have you gone through your medications lately to make sure you’ve gotten rid of the expired ones?
