How to Organize your Grocery List and Coupons
We all need to save money when ever possible. Grocery stores have been doubling the face value of coupons so it's more important than ever to use as many coupons as we can. Keeping them organized can be a problem when walking through the isle in the grocery store. An envelope with the grocery list written on the outside and coupons on the inside, is the perfect way to keep everything neat and organized.

Tips & Warnings
Print the envelope with the flap up to make it easier to get into the envelope while shopping.
If you are right handed print with the flap on the right, if you are left handed, print with the flat on the left.
Keep coupons in the same order the item is on the list to find it easier.
With a few adjustments a different size envelope can be used.
