How to be a Crazy

Coupon Queen

By, Katie Bamberger

The first step for every Crazy Coupon Queen is to create a coupon binder. Each coupon binder contains different sections for different products,

and most importantly, a table of contents in the front.

1

After creating the coupon binder, the real fun begins: cutting the coupons. Since Crazy Coupon Queens use A LOT of of coupons, be prepared to

be cutting for a while.

2

After finishing all of that cutting, use the Table of Contents in the coupon binder to see how you will

need to sort your coupons. This can be tedious and time consuming!

3

Next, match your sorted coupons to each section in the binder. For example, cosmetics go in the

“Beauty” section. Organizing the coupons will make it much easier when you get to the store and try to

match coupons and products.

4

To make the sorting even easier, use plastic baseball card inserts in your binder. Coupons fit

perfectly in these slots and you can see all of them on the same page.

5

Don’t just look for coupons in the newspaper, be sure to check online as well. Once you find coupons

online, print them out and repeat the process of cutting and sorting.

6

Before leaving the house, be sure to check your stockpile to see what you might need, or what

products you might be running low on.

7

It’s important to have an organized stock pile in order to quickly assess what you have and what you

need. Keep all like-products together.

8

Keep heavy products on low shelves when organizing. There are always coupons for laundry

detergent!

9

Now that you know what you need and are organized, be sure to check the most recent

advertisements to plan out what deals you want to make before driving to the store.

10

Once you get to the store, grab your coupon binder and hit the road! Brace yourself for an adventure,

and of course lots of savings.

11

Never miss the chance to check for more deals. These fliers are posted right inside the entrance to

Target.

12

Choose a deal that you want to make. As mentioned before, there are usually always coupons available for laundry detergent. Be careful to check specifics like what brand the coupon is for and what size it

requires you to purchase.

13

Success! Once you’ve found exactly what you need, put it in the cart and try to find another deal.

14

Sometimes deals don’t work out. Although it’s always disappointing when this happens, don’t stay sad for

long. Keep shopping!

15

Once you’re done shopping, head to a check-out lane. Be sure to match all of your coupons with the right products and even double check your receipt

after paying.

16

You’ve done it! After successfully checking out, head to your car and load your great finds.

17

Even though you made some great deals, it’s always important to check and double check receipts. Even

if nothing is wrong, look at how much money you saved!

18

Now you can replenish your stock pile! Just remember to stay organized.

19

Alas, get some rest before beginning another coupon quest!

20

Now that you know how to save money by using coupons, you can go shopping for yourself!
