Coupon Organizer unorganized lol

I just spent 5 HOURS reorganizing my binder. 5 Friggin hours. I was up last night until 1:30 AM with my 24 month old who wouldn't go back to sleep once he saw all the coupons scattered on the floor. Since I was in manic mode I let him stay up because I had to finish. Bad mom I know.

I had coupons everywhere prior to today. I went to Rite Aid earlier this week and Walmart and Target yesterday and couldn't even shop properly because I had coupons in my pocket, in the mini organizer (grocery coupons) at the bottom of my coupon pocketbook, in the pockets of the pocketbook, under the bed (you heard me), on my table, in my car you get the idea. EVERYWHERE!

I decided to go through my stack of coupons that were sitting in the plastic bin (coupons that aren't clipped) that I either needed to add to my binder or discard because they expire tomorrow, which took forever this morning.

I am a Virgo, I like to be organized and in control. I haven't been either of these in weeks. I'm BACK! I went to Price Chopper this morning and proudly handed out 3 of my business cards and showed off my neat, organized binder. They were impressed.

The point is, we all get busy even someone like me who is coupon obsessed, but you have to take the time to get motivated, get your papers, clip your coupons and get organized.

Here is my finished product. Yes, I have a LOT of coupons and I'm proud that this sucker makes the passenger seat belt light go on because it weighs the size of a small child. lol
