The Couponizer is an amazing organizational system for anyone who collects coupons. If you spend your shopping mornings going through your big old coupon envelope or sorting through your purse at the checkout line, you’ll want this handy tool.
The Couponizer is a small blinder filled with pockets all of your coupons. Each pocket is marked according to need. There are pockets for baking and staples, breakfast items, canned good – anything you need. Plus there are pockets for restaurants, the coupons that are about to expire, the coupons you’re about to use, even a pocket for receipts.
The Couponizer also comes with scissors, a carrying case, a coupon sorting mat, a shopping list pad and savings tracker.
One of the reasons many people don’t clip coupons is because it’s too much of a hassle, The Couponizer makes it less of a hassle. Once a week is all it takes to organize your coupons and then all you have to do is keep The Couponizer in your glove compartment and purse.
The Couponizer retails for $18.00 and is well worth the price.

I shop a good bit at Sam’s and save buying bulk items. We live about 45 miles from a clothing store or mall, so we go once a month to buy books, house goods, or clothing if needed. I also buy Christmas all year around, and we have no credit cards, I refuse to give more money to them through interest. If we can’t buy it out right, we don’t need it.
I’d love this to replace my wife’s current coupon organizer
I buy almost everything store brand. If you compare labels, it is almost always the same ingredients. This is much cheaper.
Use coupons and combine them with sales to save even more.
But don’t rule out store brands.
If you can find a good generic brand at a good price, buy that instead of using coupons on a more expensive brand.
Learn to cook so that you don’t have to spend so much on prepared foods.
Wait a couple of days before splurging on an impulse item you want, such as a handbag.
In a couple of days, you probably won’t even want it anymore.
I always get rain checks from my grocery store for sale items I want that aren’t in stock. I then couple them with manufacturer’s coupons when I purchase them the next time. You can save at least $5 from your grocery bill every time!
Figure out which products you use on a regular basis. Go to the manufact. websites for those products and ask for coupons. Most if not all will send you coupons just for asking.
I check out all the grocery store ads and shop the loss leaders in every store.
Buy laundry detergent that is 3 times concentrated you use 1/3 the amount you would would usually use, and it costs a lot less and cleans your cloths better.
I really would like this. I have 7 people living in my house and my grocery bill is upwards of $800 a month. I clip all the coupons I can and shop the sales but I need to be more organized.
Coupons combined with sales has saved me plenty. Thank you for this giveaway!
A couple of my local grocery store chains have a guarantee that rotisserie chickens will be in stock every day between 5-7 p.m. One offers $7 off your grocery bill if they’re out of chickens, the other offers a coupon for a free chicken in the future.
Every time I have to stop by the grocery store after work, I first swing through the deli section to see how many chickens they have. If they’re out, great — I get my coupon. If they just have a couple, I make it a point to visit the deli again before I check out.
One chain is really good about keeping theirs stocked. The other is not; the particular store I visit seems to have lazy deli workers, so I get a free chicken about half the time!
I LOVE FREE DINNER!
It’s great!
I would to win it prize!
use sales ads to ad match and use coupons!ty!! 4 the great contest!
Add a little water to your hand soap dispensers, and shampoo bottles to make those items last longer than using at full strength.
my store doubles coupons and i use about 100 every time i go shopping and cut my grocery bill below half
The biggest weakness my family has, is going out to eat. Sometimes you just crave it. You know the food is not very good, but you cannot help yourself. I cannot think of how much money we would save a year if we could resist the temptation.
My tip :shop the sales ads,make lists and
plan menus based on the sales.Use as many
coupons as you can.Please enter me to win
this neat giveaway
I save money by using coupons, collecting coins, and walking instead of driving, when possible.
I use coupons and shop sales only. I buy paper products in bulk. This would be great to keep all my coupons in, thanks for having the contest.
I have to learn how to incorporate coupons into shopping again; this organizer would sure help.
My best money-saving tip for shopping is to plan a menu for the week after the sales circulars have come out. Make your shopping list from the menu and plan on stocking up on sale items that you regularly use. Shop off your list and do not add any impulse buys unless they’re drop dead deals.
I shop where you get gas points
My most recent money saving effort has been carpooling with a co-worker. We are being green and saving lots of green with these gas prices!
Super “coups” – great idea!
Great Idea. Would love to have one of these. I keep mine in an envelope. This would be so much organized.
We have no markets that double coupons so I have to be very conscientious to save a lot. I think an organizer would help a lot.
My best money saving tip?……Send the kids to their father’s house for a couple of days!!
Sunday paper – I clip the coupons.
Shop for my meat on Monday afternoons when they mark down all meat.
Signed up online with brand name mailing lists and get coupons through the mail.
I watch for prescriptions coupons.
I keep restaurant coupons in my purse.
Save on gas by shopping with a friend or neighbor and split the gas fare.
My money saving trip is to only make one trip to town to do all your errands instead of making many trips.
Hi – I definitely clip coupons and take the time to organize them. I also share my coupon magazines with others; we don’t use the same items so that’s great to help save even more monies.
Pair your coupons with a sale for double savings.
My BEST money saving tip is!! If you do alot of grocery shooping I am sure that you go to several differnt grocerers to get the best deals, the hamberger is on sale at one store and buy one get ones are on sale at another, well to save yourself time and money, not to mention gas, go through all the circulars and write down the best deals and to what store they are at then when you get your list ready, go to Wallmart where they will accept everyone elses prices, cuts down on so much running around and with gas the way it is , it will defintiy save you some cash!!! Dont forget the coupon too!!! that also helps
I save money by making a menu for the week with whats on sale for that week. I’ve learned to shop at two different stores each week as some things are cheaper at one store and at the other deli and produce are cheaper. I shop one day a week and do not go back until its shopping day again.
Great idea I would love this.
Watch for sales on necessities and stock up when they’re on sale. This includes clothing! I save a fortune by buying my kids clothes ONLY during sales.
Best money saving tip? Don’t go to the store!!
I just watch sales, match coupons and do rebates.
I keep my lights cut off during the day
Great Idea! I use coupons and shop sales only. I buy paper products in bulk. This would be great to keep all my coupons in. My Holder is falling apart. I really need a new one
My tip is this: Make a list and stick to it when you shop. This always prevents me from doing a lot of impulse buying. A coupon organizer would be a saving grace for me!
My biggest money saving tip is to eat lunch before you go grocery shopping. I find that I only buy the things I really need when I do that first and I also don’t end up with additional junk foods in my cart. Don’t know why it works but it does. I do the same thing when taking the family to the movie theatre…saves me a small fortune at the concession stand because they are all ready satisfied.
My favorite way to save money is shopping for school clothes for the kids. We always go to there favorite stores and get tons of clothes I spend an average of 15$ a year for each kid. Yep there Favorite Stores? Bag Sales! Kids out grow clothes fast We can often get name brand stuff in Excellent condition L.L Bean, Old Navy, Avenue, & lots more a large garbage bag full for about 3$ at some. Other are 2$ paper bags but we can fit lots in those buy folding them long ways and rolling them up tight. The kids love it becuse the can affordto get what ever they like. For them its like going on a shopping spree.The trick is get there as soon as it opens. The good stuff goes the fastest!
My best money saving tip is Samples! Samples! Samples! There is nothing worse than wasting money on something you hate, so I have been on the sample train. Even if I just get a tiny sample to at least smell, it can make a difference. How many times have you bought something sealed, only to hate the scent when you get to open it at home? This has saved me so much money just by trying before you buy it.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Use coupons and pair them with the sales. Pull your coupons before you go to the store if possible.

I really want to start using coupons and this would be a great motivator.
I wonder who won? Good luck to everybody!!!
I carry my coupons in a plain white envelope….this would be a great upgrade for me!
Oh MY GOSH!
I also carry all of my coupons with me in envelopes. Which is a little unorganized at the moment. So this would be great to have.
