The Best Way to Keep
Track of Shopping Specials and Notes Many times in our lives, we gather coupons, do some
product shopping on the phone, receive catalogs, and obtain other information
which we need to keep track of until it will be useful to us. Why not set up a Sources Binder to keep this information
neat and tidy. Collect on 8-1/2" x 11" binder, a set of
alphabetical dividers, 25 sheets of blank paper, and 25 copies of
"sources" forms which you have prepared. These forms might have
sections indicating category, name of company, address, phone number, and
comments as to specifications and prices. Once the forms are prepared, you
will be surprised how many time you will use them to gather information in a
more organized manner. 
Begin putting useful ads and menus, say from the local
pizza parlor or sandwich shop in your Sources Binder. Add a coupon you
find for a local salon or barber shop. Instead of keeping these items all
over the house, on the refrigerator, or in your desk drawers, take moment and
put them in your Sources Binder where you will be able to retrieve them on a
moment's notice. It is helpful to staple small coupons to 8-1/2" x
11" sheets of paper so they can be easily filed alphabetically. Once you
have practice this habit for several months, you will be pleased and excited
with the results. Find more helpful ideas in
the "House
of Order" Handbook, Chapter 20,
"Sources". Also
