The Binder

OK, so, as you all know, there are many different ways to organize your coupons.  Some people do the accordian files.  I tried this for about a week, and discovered I had way too many coupons to make this a viable option for me.  I started using a binder, and that has worked much better for me.  My first binder was only a one inch binder, and I just had the dividers, and didn't have anything between them, and it also didn't work very well.  The next thing I used was a 4 inch D-ring binder.  I had all my dividers in it still, but, in between them I put baseball cars holders for my separated coupons, and that has worked great.  Although, last week I dropped my binder, and part of the spine cracked, so I had to duck tape it.  It still worked, but, it looked kind of trashy. 


Today I was at DI with my mom, and I found myself a new binder, it was brand new with the tags still attached, and it's perfect.  Here are some pictures of it.

If you look at the dividers, you'll see they all say "Pick Another Checkout Lane Honey."  They are from The Krazy Coupon Lady's website.  I am learning a lot of great things from that site.  You should visit it.

Zippered pocket on front that I can put circulars into.

Pen holders, CD holder (which I will probably never use), and zippered pocket that I use to put the coupons I am using on a particular trip in until I check out.

Baseball card holders.  Available at WalMart or Target, or, I have also heard some people say they have found them at the dollar store.  My mom got hers at Robert's, and used a half price coupon on them.

See how it's nice and padded on the outside, and has a zipper?  Isn't it awsome?
