I NEVER met a sale I didn't like!

If you subscribe to our Savvy Shopper Sunday Multiple Daily Herald Newpaper Package or even get extra papers from friends or family, you are receiving multiple coupon inserts (ie.. Valassis, Smart Source and P&G).

     No one wants to cut these coupons out one at a time!!!  The best and most efficient way I have found to cut out multiple manufacturers coupons is as follows:

     icon_thumright  Separate all copies of each same insert by page ( ie.. separate all the Valassis into piles and then Smart Source etc...) and stack them on top of each other (I sit on the floor spread eagle and separate my pages into like piles).

           
     icon_thumright  Cut all the same page at one time, gripping your stack tightly.  This makes it so you are cutting only once!!! 


     icon_thumright  Make sure they line up - sometimes you will get some from a different printing and you'll need to adjust the alignment.

Thanks for the link! 

I also separate by page and then cut! I sit "spread eagle" on the floor and separate each insert into piles!

The only hang up I have found with stapling each coupon is that you have to "Unstaple" each coupon before you can use them.  It definitely saves time to sort and cut once.  If you want to staple to hold the pages together I would staple on the edges you will be cutting off!

Thanks Again!  Great Visual! Holy Cow - that is a ton of coupons!

Nice link.  I have found that I don't need to staple the coupons as long as I am not cutting more then 5 inserts at a time (which is very rare for me).  If I get a few extra inserts from friends or family they tend to slip if they are not stapled.  So I either staple them or split them into two piles.

I am pretty new at this, but I had an aching hand after last Sunday, so I went out and got one of those rolling cutters from a craft store.  I haven't tried it yet, but I hope it cuts down on the hand stress this week.
