As you all know, I'm a deal finding, thrifting, and most recently, couponing shopper. I'm definitely not an extreme couponer like on the TLC show (personally I don't care for shopping like that, it's almost gluttonous the way some of them shop and hoard), but if I can save a few dollars here and there, why not, right?
But it can get pretty tiresome sifting through all your coupons while deciding where to eat or trying to remember if you have a coupon for such and such a store. So I decided to make it easier I would make a list to easily reference what coupons I have! (I'm definitely not like those crazy coupon people on the show who have the entire binders organized of them... no... I'm not that into it. Also, Canada just doesn't have as great coupons available sadly).

When folded in half, each sheet is the size of a business card so it is easy to store in your wallet. There's 3 categories: Restaurants, Entertainment, & Retail Shops and a place to write short form what the coupon is for and when it expires.
Download the PDF and print on a regular 8.5x11" paper (card stock, coloured paper, whatever you like), cut out along the thin grey lines, and fill it up! Each sheet has 2 of each category. I folded them over and used double sided tape to make mine double sided.

Ta-da! So now instead of pulling out that huge wad of coupons, I just have to take out my neat list to check before I... need to pull out that huge wad to get the right coupon to use. It's helpful because I can't always remember which coupons I have left so no need to pull them all out unnecessarily.
Oh, and for those of you also hailing from the GTA, tomorrow the Salvation Army thrift stores are having a 50% off sale on all ladies wear, girls wear, belts, handbags, purses, and ladies shoes. No coupons needed! A great chance to look for some new-used spring clothes :)
Happy couponing (& thrifting)!
