I finally found a way to keep track of my shopping list and coupons when I am in the store. I always try to pull my coupons and put them in a plastic page in the front of my binder before I go shopping. I make a very specific list before I leave the house, but once I get to the store I keep setting my list in different places and I don't know what to do with the coupons for the things I am going to purchase. Even though I have the coupons pulled, I try to pull them out of the page and put them in my pocket or somewhere so they are ready when I get to the checkout. I have seven children, three of which are preschoolers, so grocery shopping can get a little crazy and I often find myself forgetting to use a coupon, or dropping them on the floor, etc...
I now use one of those large paper clip, the black ones with the silver things on the sides, to clip my list to the front of my binder where I can easily see it and as I go through the store and put things in my cart I grab the coupons that go with them and clip them on the front as well. It has worked great! Such a simple thing (a paperclip), but it has helped me a lot!
