I could not do nearly the amount of work I do if I did not have a weekly paper organization and planning system.
The Sunday Basket has increased my productivity, reduced our late fees and generally created sanity in our home. If this is the first time you’ve hear of the term “Sunday Basket,” well, that’s because I made it up! You can read all about how the Sunday Basket came to be here.
Read my first post here about what my Sunday routine looks like.
Do you still use paper coupons? I am trying out a few iPhone apps to curb the amount of paper coupons we use. Now that none of the stores I go to double coupons anymore, it is harder to justify all the cutting, organizing and remembering.
BUT we have debt and are certainly NOT the Rockefellers, so I keep trying to use coupons. I am getting more choosy about the coupons I clip. On a GOOD week, I clip them, file then and keep them in my purse in my 31 Coupon Clutch.
I use the most coupons when I do my once a month BIG shopping trip.
Like I said, it’s so hard to throw them away – but so hard to organize and use them, too.
So, I keep tossing them in the Sunday Basket and limping along. This week I am doing it – I am NOT going to use paper coupons anymore.
GULP.
I just can’t keep up. And even when I could, my savings have dwindled from a good $30-20 a week savings down to $2-5. It’s just not worth the….
time
guilt
stress
and space in my brain!
I am trying out a few apps and have found using the app for my grocery store to be the best savings.
Update 1 year later – We DO still use a FEW paper coupons each month, but for the most part we have stopped using coupons. I am leaving this post in this series because it is critical to realized we NEED to continually question WHY we are organizing our papers and if we even NEED to still have them. 
So, what about you? Do you have a plan for using coupons on your phone? Leave your app suggestions below and I will check them out!
