Couponing is a great way to save little money. You don’t have to be extreme in order to save money. I have recently started couponing and created this handy pocket book size Coupon Organizer to help organize my coupons. I have seen coupon organizer on the market selling it for $20, which is very expensive for someone who is budget conscious. This coupon organizer cost less than $10 to make with a little patience, and add your own personal touch to it. It will be your one of a kind Coupon Organizer.
This coupon organizer templates have 2 pockets on each side which means you should have a total of 4 pockets per insert per category. You can print extra templates of the same category if you need more pockets for your coupons.
