2010 Adopt a Newbie Thread

[princessd]

I organize by category ...
*cleaning
*personal items
*baby
*Medication/health
*laundry
*bathroom
*kitchen
*beverages
*pantry items
*fridge items
*freezer items
*rebates (in waiting)
*other (batteries/ chacolate/ resturants etc...)

Makes it easy to find coupons, even my husband can do it!!!! (LOL)

any newbie needs for adoption??

Think I will have ya one very soon SMT, thank so much for checking in.

Ok princessd, I gotta see this binder, I tote mine along in an empty huggies wipes container, and try to do food, cleaning, personal, and HV/FPC. Then at the front I put the ones i am using once I find the item. I think your way is way better.

I would love to adopt a newbie
I don't have pets or kids though so I don't think I'd be able to supply those coupons to my adoptee =(

[Littlemoe0]

Thanks for doing this fire earth and air, will put ya on the list.

What a great idea. I'm a new member as well. Think I'm getting the hang of trading... did a few last week & this week. The big thing I've learned thus far was to upgrade to a binder system. But, still have much to learn.

okay couponmomma I am your new SC mommy please p'm so we can see how I can help you out

oww I upgraded to a binder also actually 2 one for my regular coupons and one for my stacking sets and then a 3rd binder (which I put the sheets from the other 2 binders ) that I am going to take with me to the store on my shopping trip , which so far is working very well

4 new members have been adopted so far.

I'm interested in participating in this-how does it work?I'd be the adoptee

[Beckyboo710]

I'm new and wouldn't mind some help if anyone is willing,
my inbox on here doesnt always work tho, but i'm trying

[Littlemoe0]

How it works is that we will pair you up with a senior sc'er to help you along with answers to questions regarding coupons, or the site. Will sign the two of ya up, and find you great sc'ers.

[princessd]

As promised, this is how I organize my coupons.

I'd love to be adopted.
I'm not sure I'm a 'newbie' though.. Well, I probably am. I've only been on here for about 2 months now, and I still have LOTS to learn.

[Littlemoe0]

No worries GD, going by trade ratings. I was on here a year before starting to coupon, and was so lost. Will put ya on the list.

Big thank you princessd for the pics of your organizing, that is amazing and a good lesson for us all, newbies and like me unorganized folks.
