The "Binder"



I believe I am coming over to the "dark side" of the coupon world. I am going to try out what intense couponers call the "binder". Its a binder with plastic sleeves full of their coupons, organized of course, in order to see more coupons and have them at better access. Thriftynestor was my first introduction the the "binder" and I pretty much thought she was crazy and didn't really believe her that people actually did this, but I did see my first other binder person at Harris Teeter triple coupon weekend. With the amount of coupons I have and how grocery shopping goes, I decided it might be easier to organize them this way and at least give it a shot. I'm only doing grocery coupons, as the other types of coupons are just find as they are since I usually plan my trips to Walgreens and CVS and pull them out ahead of time. I have begun the process....and will keep all updated on my journey to how it works out. For now, it is time consuming but hopefully worth it in the long run!

I am cracking up! I don't know how you did it before the binder. I can't live without mine. Don't forget to put your contact info in it. Hopefully someone would attempt to return instead of steal all your coupons if you ever loose it!
