Corral those Store & Restaurant Coupons with Simple Folders

I was sick and tired of the stacks of store flyers, coupons, restaurant coupons and menus that cluttered my kitchen counter. I didn't want to throw them out, just in case I needed them. And with the holidays less than two months away I have been getting more and more store coupons in the mail from stores like Kohl's, Bed Bath and Beyond, Toys-R-Us, to name a few.

I used some pocketed, 3-ring binder folders that my husband bought during the back-to-school season for practically pennies.


I attached some handy labels.


I inserted a business card holder to hold any gift cards that we have. I added page protectors to hold and separate coupons and/or flyers by store or restaurant.

And voila, our store coupons are in one folder and our restaurant menus and coupons are in another, neat and organized. Life is sane again and the stacks are gone.

I keep the folders in the kitchen where they are easy to grab when we are heading out the door to run errands, shop, or go out to dinner. Easy peasy and very inexpensive.

How do you organize your store and restaurant coupons?
