My smaller organizer is great for stashing the q's I am going to use on my individual shopping trips. I am pretty methodical about making sure my coupons are pulled and coordinated with my list before I walk into a store to snatch up some deals and get my fix. I don't want to have to fumble through George's Wallet at the check-out and risk missing a q because I didn't see it or the kiddos are running a muck. This helps me minimize spending errors (something I HATE) and keeps the shopping moving pretty quick. But sometimes even the best laid plans can fail and a q gets missed or my calculations are off.
This was George's Wallet as you last saw him:
He was on the verge of popping a stitch and exploding everywhere...so I decided to upgrade to a small box...
It looked big enough in the store (it is 4 1/2 inches wide on the bottom)...but when I got it home and loaded it up I couldn't get my fingers in there to pull any of the coupons out...and I still had a stack on my desk to tuck away with all of my other little friends. I hated to admit it...I needed an even bigger organizer.
As anyone else in my situation would do, I took to the streets looking high and low....ok, ok...so I went to goggle and typed in "coupon organizer"...but I still couldn't find anything. Then I came upon Etsy.
I think I may have found my coupon soul mate....hopefully it will be as fabulous as I envision it to be...I found a fellow coupon lover with sewing skills to boot that is making me a custom organizer as I type this. I can only hope that 6" is wide enough (the hubs told me to go 6 1/2...so if it is too small I am gonna hear about this forever).
My mail order companion should be arriving soon...Stay tuned to see how our story unfolds:)
