When it comes to organizing coupons, I think I have tried just about every way possible. When I first started couponing, I used to use four little file accordion folders (one for beauty, one for household, one for food, and one to keep the coupons that I needed for my shopping trips). The problem with that method was it meant me bringing four different accordion files with me to the store each time so I wouldn’t miss any deals. Another issue was fumbling through each file when I needed to locate a coupon.
I then tried the file by insert method. This is where you file your entire inserts by date in a box or in a filing cabinet. This worked out great when I did matchups because I knew where to look for coupons but I would often go to the store and see unadvertised deals or clearance and would miss out on great deals because I didn’t have all my coupons with me.
My most recent method was the binder method. I would cut all my coupons out weekly and painstakingly put each one into a slot in a baseball card plastic sheet. This ensured that I would have every coupon with me when I went to the store but it took a lot of time! In order for it to work properly, I had to organize each plastic sheet by category. I just didn’t have the time to keep up.
I was trying to figure out which method to go back to when I was approached by MyCouponKeeper. They wanted to send me their product to review and also offer one to give away to one of my readers. I was happy to accept the offer.
MyCouponKeeper is similar to the way that I first started organizing my coupons but I can keep them all in one box instead of four different accordion files. One really cool feature is how this coupon box fits neatly in the front of the grocery cart. It holds A LOT of coupons. In fact, MyCouponKeeper can hold more than 1800 coupons! Not only that but this coupon organizer is durable. The latch is nice and secure too which is great because my 2 year old likes to pick it up and turn it upside down. The first time he did it, I swear I just about had a panic attack thinking that all my coupon organizing was for nothing. However, the latch on the box stayed firmly in place and each of the coupon guides stayed in place as well ensuring that all of my coupons did too!
The coupon guides that come the MyCouponKeeper® Deluxe System are great because they are made of PVC and not flimsy like index cards. This package also included pre-printed category labels which saved me a lot of time not having to write them out myself, 2 adjustable dividers which help support the coupons, and a MyCouponKeeper Reusable Shopping Bag. The shopping bag is nice and sturdy and is a great size. I love taking reusable bags to stores because they are easier to carry than the bags at the store and some stores (such as Target) give an incentive when you use them. There are also three purse sized shopping folders. I love how these fit neatly in my purse and allowed me to keep the coupons that I planned to use separate. Add your coupons to the left side according to your shopping list and then when you get each item, transfer that corresponding coupon to the right side in preparation to hand to the cashier.
I really love the MyCouponKeeper system and I believe I have found the method that I will be sticking with. The only thing that I would change with the coupon box if I was given the opportunity is I would add a handle on top. It isn’t a necessity. It would just be a nice addition.

I think i would like the whole The MyCouponKeeper® Deluxe System. It would help me stay organized instead of keeping my coupons in bags and all over the place. I always end up at the store and had forgotten at least a few at home.
I created a separate page to enter because people were having issues finding where to enter (seeing as the post is so long). I have added your entry on that page Good luck!
I think it being able to attach to the cart is awesome… I love how big it is you don’t have to fold the coupons.. I love the tagging that you have done to help keep organized and a bag to carry it all in.. great system.
It sits in the front of the cart where a child would sit. It doesn’t actually attach to the cart but it fits nicely there 🙂

I like the whole the my couponkeeper. I love the way it fits in the cart better than the binder. Also I like where you can look at your coupons easier than going through my binder. I like where you don’t have to fold your coupons. It does not take up the space as a binder does and not has heavy as the binder. Love it.

Love to have this thank you
I think this coupon organizer would be PERFECT for me!! I currently use a binder…and it isn’t very organized! The labels on the organizer make me smile – I love labels!! It would be so much easier to keeps coupons together with this, rather than in my binder!
Plus, in the review you stated your 2 year old turned it upside down and nothing spilled out! My 16 month old goes through my cabinet where I keep all of my coupons, and sometimes he gets to them before I get to him. He has destroyed some before, and has made a huge mess I had to spend extra time reorganizing!
This would be perfect for me!
