Sunday Inserts...

this entry is to show how i currently sort and file the inserts and coupons in the sunday paper...

on sundays i usually buy 5 newspapers...

if there are several coupons i will definitely use, some i will probably use, and i can afford to... i will buy more...

<3<3<3

first i sort the flyers i will use and the inserts...

<3<3<3

i file the flyers in my accordian...

keeping all copies if they have store coupons in them...

and i put all the inserts together by type...

<3<3<3

i lay out all the copies of one type...

<3<3<3



then i pull all the covers off and put them together...

<3<3<3

i put the same pages together inside the cover...

this makes it easier for me to find all of a certain coupon later...

<3<3<3

while i am collatin the pages, i pull out any pages with no coupons on them...

no sense savin stuff i won't need or use...

<3<3<3

once my inserts are all collated, i go thru them and cut out only the coupons i am pretty sure i will use if there is a sale...

<3<3<3

here is the first insert with the coupons i cut out of it...

<3<3<3

after i have went thru all that weeks inserts...

<3<3<3

i write the date on the corner of the inserts and put them in the accordian behind the correspondin month...

<3<3<3

then i sort the coupons into the categories i have in my binder...

this seems easier to me than flippin back n forth puttin away unsorted coupons...

<3<3<3

the front coupon for each pocket i highlight the date using different colors for each month...

i made a chart that i keep in the front of the binder remind me what color is what month...

<3<3<3

after foldin the coupons so i can see the item, amount and expiration date... i put them into the card/photo pages ...

<3<3<3

that is how i do the sunday inserts   :)
