How to Organize Coupons: The Hybrid Method
Good Deal Mama shared the following coupon organization method:
[The Hybrid Method] is a way of organizing your coupons into two groups: cut coupons you know you will use and whole inserts for the rest.
So this is my personal Coupon Binder, I got it on clearance recently at Walmart for just $5. I believe it is made for scrapbooking but always be on the look out in the clearance or sale sections for items you can use for other things!
I then put baseball card holders in the front with plastic tab dividers in between. The plastic tabs have different categories on them. Produce, Cereal, Snacks, Frozen, etc.
Thanks so much for sharing, Good Deal Mama!

I LOVE you binder. does it have a brand name or any way I could find it?

I use a 4×6 index card box with dividers to separate frozen, cleaning, etc. It’s more compact and easier to haul around than a binder and all my coupons are still easily accessed. I guess it wouldn’t work for the hybrid method of not cutting out all coupons though.

Mary, You can contact your local armory and ask about community support groups. Either their Family Readiness Group can ship them or someone in the community can do it for you. Just please offer to pay for shipping once in a while. They probably would not ask for help, but it would be appreciated.

Great ideas I love couponing. Could someone please send me an address to send my expired coupons to our troops familys. Thank you.

Here’s a website: http://www.supportourtroops.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1435
Scroll down a little bit and there’s an address for you to send your coupons to. A little further down they have guidelines for sending your coupons.
Overseas they can use a coupon up until 6 months past it’s expiration date.

I love this method!I currently use binder method which is great, but some weeks feel like I wasted time cutting all the coupons (some I just dont need at times) I think I will try this! thanks for the awesome tip!

I like her method. I have a binder that has an accordion file on the other. The hybrid method would work perfectly for this type of binder. I got it for 14.00 at Big Lots. It’s regularly 21.99 on the Case It website.
