It's exciting to take a little stroll to your mailbox, flip through magazines, newspapers, and brochures and gather coupons that can help you save on everyday items.

Two-thirds of the consumers surveyed (68%) said they use the coupons they get in the mail.
If you're new to couponing (or a chaotic collector), we have DIY organizer ideas to arrange your vouchers.
Depending on your preference and commitment to couponing, you may want a simple and small coupon file that you can take into stores. Or you may wish to use something larger if labels, stickers, and stationary get you excited.

With an organizational system that works, your coupon hobby will be fun and save you big bucks in the long run.
