Chic and Frugal Shoppers You Will Love The Savvy Cents Wallet - Review and Giveaway

Have you ever looked inside your purse and thought to yourself that you need a filing system in place to keep all of your receipts, cards and cash organized?  I have.  My purse believe it or not holds three wallets.  I keep them all for different purposes because I needed some way to manage everything that I had inside of them and one wallet just wasn't cutting it for me.  I have a tiny one that basically just holds two or three cards plus my drivers license as well as any cash and coins that I have.  Then I have a wallet that holds my credit cards and checkbook.  Lastly, and my newest addition, is my Savvycents Wallet, which holds coupons, club cards, gift cards, insurance cards and more.  If I was to pair everything down to only one wallet I would choose the Savvycents Wallet simply because it has the best features for accommodating and organizing all of my needs. 

The Savvycents Wallet is not only functional but chic and modern looking too.  Mine is in a pink patent leather that goes great with my new purse. What sets this wallet apart from all others is the fact that it has an accordion style filing system that comes with labels so you can organize your receipts and coupons - or whatever - quickly and easily.  I love this feature because before I had the Savvycents Wallet I carried a large coupon organizer in addition to my three wallets. With the Savvycents Wallet I keep receipts and coupons organized in one place.  Here is a picture of how my Savvycents Wallet is set up:

This is fully open with the file section expanded

This is a side shot so you can see how wide the expandable file is.  Its not anywhere near its full potential either.

Originally the creator of the Savvycents Wallet, Melinda Claudepierre, came up with this idea for organizing cash while she was learning to budget on a envelope based cash budgeting system. The basis behind the cash system is that you separate your cash into different envelopes for different reasons like groceries, entertainment, clothes, etc...  Obviously when you are only working with cash you tend to be more frugal because you know that you only have that amount and you aren't relying on what you have in the bank.  She became frustrated at keeping track of all the envelopes and thought that there had to be a better way.  She couldn't find what she was looking for so she created the Savvycents Wallet.

Melinda's story has really inspired me to think about budgeting using a cash system.  I can see how handy the filing solution provided by the Savvycents Wallet would be.  What makes this wallet so great for everyone is the fact that its versatile for anything that you have to file within your wallet.  Currently I use it for coupons and receipts but if I switch to a cash system I think that there would still be enough room in there to keep the cash in the proper sections with the coupons too.  This way I would never forget to use a coupon, which I sometimes do now because my debit card is in a different wallet.

Savvycents Wallet Key Features

• Accordion style file system
• Includes file cards with pre-printed labels in addition to blank labels
• 6 card pockets
• Checkbook storage
• Coin purse
• Holds a pen
• Convenient size measuring 8" by 4"

In my opinion the Savvycents Wallet is not only fashionable but functional and is a must have for any savvy shopper.  I love the accordion filing system!  That has to be the smartest idea ever!  When I am out shopping now I can easily access all of my coupons and club cards in one place and the filing system makes them easy to find and sort too.  I love that it also holds a pen because I am always losing my other pens within my purse because it doesn't have a designated spot for one.  I always know that I can find one inside my Savvycents Wallet.  This wallet has made it easy to store and sort receipts too.  Currently I am storing much more than I normally do because I need to supply receipts to my insurance company for reimbursement of my stolen items that I have slowly been replacing.   I don't have to worry that they will got lost in my purse or damaged.   I would definitely recommend the Savvycents Wallet for all the ladies on your Christmas list this year that are coupon clipping divas or any gal that just needs a little help with organization, they will love this wallet!
