Additional way to Organize your Coupons - 101

You know I am simply not organized enough to do the fancy baseball card binder. I have a 1-year-old and will soon have a second.. clipping is so NOT my thing. I use a filing cabinet and just shove the inserts into the slot for their week. I will make a mega-insert out of all of the Redplums and all of the SmartSources etc, but if I dont have time, at least they are where I can find them.

Well I recently had a "duh-huh" moment when Kelley emailed me to tell me that she goes one step farther.

If you print out the coupon list for your area (many coupons are regional) then you can put that in the same folder as your inserts and check that out first before you bother searching and researching your inserts only to realize that you didnt get that one $.35 coupon.

Speaking of... this weekend we are supposed to get up to 6 inserts! 
1. SmartSource #1
2. SmartSource #2
3. Redplum
4. General Mills
5. Target Johnson & Johnson
6. Walmart

Now... where do you get this list for your specific area?
Generally you can check the Sunday Coupon Preview, but Jenny put this list together!
