So you have all these coupons–now what do you do? One thing that you must remember: Organization is KEY. You will not be able to save money if you do not have an organized way.
There are thousands of coupons out there. Every week at least 50 new coupons come out in the paper–not to mention the many printable coupons I reference here on Southern Cali Saver every day.
Knowing how to reference back to a coupon when you need it is essentially how you save money. Organization makes grocery shopping a ton easier–not having to search and search gets you burnt out quick.
Here are a couple of ways to organize your coupons:

My Name is Josie and I live in sunny Southern California and I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful boys. We all know that living in California is a task of it's own and saving in California IS possible! I started this blog mainly to share all the awesome deals out there and show others how to save in any area of life. Even though you may make the commitment to be frugal and pinch your pennies doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice!

Just wanted to say I am LOVING this series b/c its givng me something to forward to friends to explain what I do. There’s such a stigma now since the Extreme Couponing show hit and my friends and family have THAT image in their minds when they think of me couponing. Thanks so much for sharing all of this!!
Just wondering where everyone gets the clear inserts for the coupon binders? I want to make a binder to keep myself organized, I’ve tried the divider pouch and its totally not working for me i still have to go searching, and envelopes get shuffled and lost in my couponing bag, but no one knows where to get the inserts from. Josie do you know where?
Walmart! They have them at the area where they have the baseball cards.
The only place I have consistently had luck finding them is at a hobby store. They have clear baseball card holders, usually 9 to a sheet. Hope that helps!
You can buy them online at Amazon.com or Ebay.com
