So I've been able to save money with coupons, but here's one thing I DESPISE about this "hobby": I have to clean out my coupon book! I was waiting in the car to pick up my husband from work and I did a quick spring-clean of my coupon holder. Ack, I found many that expired in 2011! So I guess I've learned that it helps to be organized if you're going to be an avid coupon clipper. I usually sort my coupons by alpha order and category (i.e. baby, grocery, pet, paper, etc.). However, I've been getting a little lazy — I find myself stuffing coupons into any divider, crossing my fingers that my memory will remind me to organize later.
What have I learned here? Well, couponing is fun at first, but keeping it up isn't easy! However, just trying your best to save money in general (i.e. shopping around for prices, price matching, forgoing a few luxuries), will still go a long way.
