A portable shopping cart coupon file is used with a shopping cart that has a push handle and a back support for a baby seat. The back support is pivotably connected to the shopping cart. The portable shopping cart coupon file has a generally planar base plate. A rectangular box is disposed on the top side of the base plate. The box has a cover. A restraining device extends from the bottom side of the base plate which is associated with the top boundary of the back support of the shopping cart to restrain the base plate from sliding relative to the cart.
