Noth- ing could be further from the truth! My shopping trips are quite organized because I take only the exact coupons I need for that shop- ping trip. No giant three-ring binder filled with pages of coupons. No expandable organizer bursting at the seams. No plastic bag, metal box or bulging pockets. Instead, I carrying a small stack of coupons, each one corresponding to a prod- uct or item I intend to purchase. I’m a "clipless" coupon user; I cut only the coupons I need, when I need them. Instead of spending hours on Sunday afternoons cutting every coupon that arrives in that week’s newspaper then sorting them by product and type, I keep the entire coupon insert, intact, each week. Then, with the help of a gro- cery list matchup website, I only cut coupons that correspond to this week’s sales. It’s a faster, easier way to organize and manage coupons. Matchup websites that track gro- cery sales at the supermarket match coupons to products on sale. In addition to highlighting the prod- ucts on sale and the percentage of savings, the sites list the dates and names of the inserts in which the corresponding coupons appeared. For example, if the list calls for a coupon from the "10/24 RP," the coupon that matches that sale can be found in the RedPlum coupon insert of Oct. 24. Keeping each week’s inserts intact is the first step in orga- nizing your coupons – and it’s also the easiest. There are weeks I don’t even bother opening my inserts until I get ready to plan a shopping trip! Keeping track of the dates coupons arrive is crucial. Coupon matchup websites refer shoppers to dates specif- ic coupons ran in the paper. Look at the spine along the left side of the next insert that arrives with your newspaper; you’ll notice the date is printed there in very tiny print. I always write the coupon from it and then put the coupon insert back into my accor- dion file. Jill Cataldo Coupon Queen date on the insert front with a mark- er, so it’s much easier to grab from my files when I need it later. I file each week’s inserts by date. I use an accordion file, which can be found at any office supply store. I like to keep the most recent month’s inserts in the front pocket, the previous month’s inserts behind that and so on. When I’m ready to plan that week’s shopping trips, I check the grocery matchup website and then simply pull out the rele- vant insert the website calls for. For example, say Raisin Bran is on sale this week. The matchup site refers to a coupon in "10/10 SS." I simply pull the SmartSource insert dated Oct. 10, cut just the Raisin Bran The list might call for a printable coupon from the Internet. In that case, the listing includes a link to that coupon. I click the link, print the coupon and then add it to the rest of my coupons for the week. Just as I don’t waste time cutting coupons I don’t intend to use immediate- ly, I also don’t waste ink printing Internet coupons that I’m not likely to use. I only print an Internet coupon if it lines up to a great sale taking place the week of my shopping trip. It doesn’t take long to cut the coupons I need for my weekly trip. If I intend to buy 15 items this week, I only cut coupons for those products. There’s no need for me to carry around every coupon I own if I don’t intend to purchase those items this week.

If you’re looking for the perfect stocking stuffer for the angler in your life, the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) has a suggestion. Beginning Jan. 1, anglers 16 years of age and older will need a new annual sport fishing license to take or pursue any fish, shellfish, reptile or amphibian in California (including catch-and-release fishing) in 2011 And this hol- iday season, DFG’s new real-time Automated License Data System (ALDS) is streamlining the process and making it easier than ever to give a gift that will bring joy year-round. Especially developed for DFG, ALDS provides cus- tomers with immediate access to DFG’s license inventory, which in most cases eliminates the need to visit a DFG office or to wait for your license to arrive in the mail. The new system is now in place at DFG license sales offices and at select license agent locations (for a list of these locations visit www.dfg.ca.gov/licensing/pdffiles/ActiveLi- censeAgents.pdf). ALDS will be implemented at other locations statedwide by early January 2011.
