I tear the coupons out after reading the Sunday paper (really, I don't even use scissors, just fold and tear), then put them in a napkin holder in order by expiration date. I flip through them after I make my grocery list. I might also check online, but I rarely find any I can use. When I get to the store, I sort through them as I shop and put the ones I can use ON TOP OF MY WALLET in my purse. Since I can't pay without going into the wallet, I never forget the coupons.

Now, I just use coupons whenever I'm shopping online. Like you, I started out clipping coupons from Sunday papers but kept on forgetting to bring them whenever I would go to the grocery.

Today I saved $47 at Walgreens (and only spent $8). It really is amazing. Make it fun. I buy the Sunday paper and it takes me all of 15 minutes to clip and sort them into my index box (which I always bring with me in the car when I go shopping, so even if I don't have it in the store and i see an unexpected great deal...if it's a good enough deal, I have the coupons in the car). it takes time. and you may just find that it isn't for you. that's ok too. :) i started couponing and doing drugstores when I started reading Kacie’s blog, actually :)
