Coupon Organizing: How to Best Organize Your Coupons in Canada | City of Creative Dreams

I am new to this whole couponing (if that is a word) experience but I love a good deal so why let a good coupon to waste. Everyone seems to be doing this and who wouldn’t really want to save money right?

First I had to find coupons which were easy with the help of Google and now I have a great list of online sites that you can print coupons from or have them mail them to you at my post – Best Coupon/Savings Site and another list of great sites for deals too – Making Money Shopping as well as the new Energy Saving Coupons I got in the mail and can get more online.



Now that I have coupons being sent to me at my door, I figured it was about time for me to stop making a pile of coupons on my desk and start getting coupon organized. What can I say I love organizing 🙂 I am going to show you my coupon binder folder that I created just for me. There are many ways that I have seen that worked for other people like coupon binders.

Let me show you my coupon folder:

Coupon Organizing: How to Best Organize Your Coupons

First Step – Get a Folder


I personally wanted something slim and not bulky like a binder for my coupons but still, maintain the organization. This one is my favourite. I got a folder from Walmart for around $2.00. You can also get pocket folders like this from Amazon as well.

No need for binder rings I have this to keep my pages together.

Second Step – Dividers

I bought these dividers from Staples for $2.92 to keep my coupons in their own sections.

Third Step – Card Holders

I bought these baseball cardholders from Dollarama for $2.00. If you can’t find them in your local dollar store, you can order them from Amazon as well.

I also bought a Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery Index Dividers from Staples for $2.99.
It is perfect for any big coupons that I may have.

Fourth Step – Dividers

Additionally, I believe dividers are always a must! But putting dividers in, you are able to find what you’re looking for in a snap. I also found Note Tabs by Avery at Dollarama for $2.00 for the Martha Stewart Index Dividers but you can get some from any office store or Amazon.

The second section is for food, snacks and meals, pretty much groceries.
The same tab was added and a section for larger coupons.
The third is my Health Section which includes vitamins, skincare and overall body care.
The fourth Section is for Home and Cleaning, everything from laundry to floors to dishes.
 This fifth one is where I am planning to put all my other coupons for stuff like restaurants, batteries or shoes.

Final Thoughts

I love how this coupon folder turned out. If you live in Canada like me, you know that couponing here is nothing like in the states. I love seeing how much a person can save money on Extreme Couponing however, that just doesn’t happen here like I imagined. Although couponing isn’t the same, you can still save money, anything is better than nothing! Coupon organizing is in! So tell me, what did you think? Has this inspired you to start organizing your coupons?

  6. I "extreme" couponed for several years…ended up donating tons of it to the schools twice a year. So even if you don't use the product SOMEONE will! And yes, the baseball card inserts are the best. I had so many coupons, I ended up with two binders…one for groceries and one for everything else. Carried them with me at all times…I still "coupon" but not to "extreme. But when I find a great coupon deal on any personal care or paper product, cleaning supply, laundry, etc…I stock up bigtime! And on average I save 20% just on my grocery bill just by pulling and printing coupons for products I use all the time.

    1. Wow that is some fantastic savings. I hope to get some great savings that problems is remembering that I have coupons lol. I'm going to have to bring my coupon binder with me now. Thank you for sharing your story and stopping by Beck 🙂

    1. Thank you Marti, Its never too late to start saving money. Thank you for stopping by and commenting!

  8. I tried couponing and doing a folder like that too, but I kept forgetting what coupons I had too. Plus, CA doesn't really let you double up on coupons, so no extreme couponing here. Thanks for sharing your organizing on Merry Monday.

    1. Yeah I hear you. Wish I had double up coupons as well. But any savings are good savings right. 🙂
