Abstract
A shopping organizer is provided that includes a front cover, a back cover, a front inner flap, and a back inner flap. A compartment for retaining individual printed media carriers such as coupons is formed by the front cover and the front inner flap so that storing and carrying loose coupons is facilitated. The shopping organizer also includes a plurality of berths, each berth for retaining a “key chain” type of bar coded card or for retaining a “wallet card” type of bar coded card. The shopping organizer can optionally include a pen retaining loop, a writing pad for writing down a shopping list, and a calculator.
