Last month I updated and republished my All About Couponing Series, which is my attempt to share as many tips and tricks about using coupons that I can. Part of my series is Coupon Organization 101 where I share a few methods you can use for organizing your coupons. Last summer I put together a coupon binder which I loved, in theory. In reality I couldn’t seem to keep the thing updated to save my life. Instead of pulling out the expired coupons and filing the new ones, I found myself shoving coupons into a shoe box or not clipping them at all – which means I had stacks of coupon inserts cluttering my living room. As the summer has gone on my frustration level with my coupons has risen and I knew that something had to change. That’s why I was excited when Amy Bergin from the Couponizer Company contacted me to see if I would be interested in reviewing a Couponizer. I was willing to try just about anything at that point, so I eagerly agreed.
My Couponizer arrived within a week or so after talking with Amy, and I was excited to start using it. I admit that I had a few reservations – I wasn’t sure that the Couponizer would be large enough to store all of my coupons, nor was I sure that it would be sturdy enough to hold up to the beating it would likely take in my possession. I was also worried that it would end up being a marketing gimmick and didn’t know what I would do if I wasn’t happy with it. Thankfully, that hasn’t been the case at all!
I have been using my Couponizer for about a month now, and I’m happy to say that as of today, all of my coupons are finally in one place!
What I like about the Couponizer:
- The fact that I can keep everything in one place. Not only does the Couponizer have room for my shopping list, receipts, and a place to track my savings, but it also comes in a zippered pouch that holds my scissors, a calculator and any coupons that I have yet to file.

- It is the perfect size to throw in my bag or purse when I go shopping. It is also extremely easy to use while shopping – with pockets that hold my shopping list, coupons that I intend to use during my trip, and the coupons that I am actually going to end up using during checkout.

- Because I have a larger number of coupons in the book, I love the stretchy rubber band that holds the outside of the book together.

- The book is sturdy and appears to be well made. The pages are not flimsy at all, and so far I have not had any problems fitting all of my coupons into the folders.
Minor Annoyances with the Couponizer:
- While the coupons categories are thorough and seem to cover every type of coupon I have, I would prefer to see all of the food items together and all of the non-food items together, rather than listing the categories in alphabetical order.

- It would be nice if there was a way to stagger the folder portion of the pages so that the bottom of the book didn’t get so “fat” when full of coupons. Thankfully the rubber band holds it all together well and the shopping list and coupon tracker help to balance out the front and back of the book.
My final verdict? So far I love my Couponizer. I am really interested to see how I do at keeping it up to date, and to how long it can withstand the abuse I will likely give it. :-)
The Couponizer retails for $19.95 plus $5.75 shipping ($25.70) and comes with the following:
- 8″x5″ booklet with 20 grocery coupon pockets, 6 non grocery coupon pockets, 3 gift card/loyalty shopper card sleeves, shopping pockets
- 20 page shopping list
- CoupStacker pre-sorting mat color coded to match the system pockets
- 15 page spiral bound list pad with cardboard backing to track coupon savings
- Blunt tip Scissors
- Clear vinyl zippered carrying bag
