Coupon categories are important when coming up with a system to organize and store your manufacturers coupons. See this complete list of categories for your grocery coupon organizers, to use as you see fit.
There are many different ways to use grocery coupon organizers. The main point to remember is to set up a system and coupon categories that fit your individual needs. Some users want specific couponing categories such as Baby-Food while others just want the overall Baby category. Do what works for you. This list is meant to help you, not to tell you how to organize each manufacturers coupon you have. Enjoy!
