Organizing 'Quick' Tip: Post-Its on Coupons | organizedartistry.com #postits #organizingquicktip #organizingtip

Do you clip coupons? In today’s economy, it’s especially wise to do so. Who can’t use a few extra dollars in their wallets?

Clipping coupons for the supermarket is easy. There’s a picture of the item–you know immediately what you’ll be using the coupon for. Then there are those coupons that are vague. They offer deals like free shipping, 25% off your total order, or $5 off of a $50 purchase. These are great–I use them all the time. But it’s very easy to put them in a pile and forget about why you cut them out in the first place.

To remind you to use them and to remind you what you need to buy, my organizing ‘quick’ tip is:

Attach a post-it to the coupon. On the post-it, write down what you need to buy from this particular store or website.

Here are some examples…

The above coupon is for the Carter’s store. With two little kids, I’m there a lot. I was very excited when this came in the mail. I clipped it, stuck a post-it on it and wrote down what clothing my children needed. Using this method, I don’t have to gaze at the coupon while at the store and ask myself, “Why am I here? What did I need?” Big time saver.

I’m also in need of some picture frames and a small photo album. I saw this coupon last week, cut it out, stuck a post-it to it and went around my house with it looking for frames that needed to be replaced. I still have to go through an envelope of recently printed pictures to see which need frames but I’ll add that info to my post-it (or use a bigger one) when I’m done. Now, when I get to the store, I won’t have to stand there staring at the frames wondering what sizes and colors I need. Like I said, big time saver.

So, next time you’re clipping coupons, grab a post-it pad and a pen along with those scissors. By using this helpful tip, you’ll be saving yourself a little time here and there during your day. But, make no mistake–those minutes add up!
