Getting it Together Again – Sister R.

Sister R. talked about her 3 ring binders as well as coupons. In order to keep herself organized she has binders to organize important information.

  

Rasmussen Household Dealings has different sections including: This months bills, past months bills, auto, personal (each child’s school information), computer, pay stubs, and receipts. With all of this information in one place it is a lot easier to stay organized. Each family should personalize it to their own needs.

Family Home Evening Binder for small children. She started this when she was trying to come up with ideas for FHE. Each sections is a different gospel topic. When she finds a good story/game in the Friend or Ensign she cuts it out or copies it and files it into her binder. Because she has done this when she needs a quick FHE lesson, primary talk or game she has somewhere to turn, or if someone has a question about a topic they can turn to it and find information.

Recipe Binder Favorite recipes that we have copied, written down or cut out scattered here and there in our kitchen – we all this similar problem. She solved this problem by putting all her recipes in one binder under different tabs. In the front, inside pocket, she slips the recipes she wants to try out on her family. Once she has tried these recipes she will either: toss them or file them in the binder for future use.

Coupon Binder has all of her coupons organized by type. In order to Coupon you have to be organized!

All the products (minus the binders) in the picture she paid $0 for!! Amazing! She also explained the different resources she uses to save the most money couponing. Here are a few of the websites she uses:

• http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/
• http://www.coupons.com/
• http://thekrazycouponlady.com/ 

She definitely sparked some money saving cords in each of us! We are going to have a follow-up class on couponing in September.

Thank you Sister R. for all of your great ideas!! If you have any other ideas on how you keep your family organized, what you keep in YOUR binder, or ways to save PLEASE leave a comment and share it with all of us!
