Coupon Categories

Organize Your Coupon System

Coupon Categories can be very important when it comes to creating a successful coupon organization system.



When organizing your coupons, you may find that you would like to have a thorough list of categories to sort your coupons.

You may find that you would like a more general, but complete list.

Here is a list compiled from several Coupon Queen’s own files. Use it as you see fit.

Keep in mind, these are very specific coupon categories. Your individual needs will vary. Some people want to be ultra-organized, while, for many, a general “baby” category will work much better than “baby-diapers, baby-formula, baby-food”.

Many Coupon Queens, or those who coupon on a regular basis, have a smaller coupon file for the following categories. This makes it easier to bring coupons with you when you are out for entertainment, instead of shopping, purposes. It also makes it easier to find all those coupons for free items.

Other
--Free Product
--Rebates
--Entertainment
--Restaurants
--Store coupons

I hope that this list of coupon categories will help you develop your own couponing system to make the most out of a truly profitable hobby.

Why?

Simply because Refund Cents is the best coupon, refund, deals, and freebies site on the internet.

It is run by Michele Easter, and has been in existence for literally decades.

Refunding Makes Cents is the most distributed coupon and refund newsletter in the world.

There are two portions to Refund Cents, the print magazine, which has 11 issues a year, and the online access.


The online access is a membership based site, but the dues are extremely low, costing less for an entire year than most sites charge a month. (About $1 per month)

If you are new to couponing, or if you are serious about this hobby/income sources, I highly, highly suggest you invest a few dollars into Refund Cents.

If you can afford it (around $25) get the print issues and the online access. Make sure you pick up a copy of the Beginner’s Bonanza. If that is too steep for you, then just get the online access.

Deals are posted by other members, in real time. Check "Michele's Updates" and "Chit-Chat" daily.

Trust me, you'll make up the purchase price in a few days. You'll be emailing me thanking me for introducing you to this wonderful information source.
