My Binder

Ahh...my coupon binder! I recently reorganized my binder and love the new system!!

The first thing I did was go to The Krazy Coupon Lady website and downloaded her binder pages. When you visit her page, scroll down and look on the right hand side for downloads. I printed the file in black and white to save on ink. Each page of the binder is put in a protective sleeve, with a table of contents at the front. This also includes my name and number in case I ever GASP left my baby behind :)
The last four sections are reserved for the stores I shop the most; Target, Walgreens, Cash Wise and Coborn's. All of these stores have their coupons either online or in newspaper inserts so it is nice to have a separate area for these coupons.

Each section of my binder is separated by a sheet listing what is in that section. I combined some together since I knew I would not have tons of coupons for those categories each week.

Behind each section label is a baseball card holder for the coupons that match up with that category! This makes it so easy to quickly find coupons that match up with sales in various stores!

For the four main stores I shop at, I also have separate dividers and baseball card holders. When I am planning a trip to one of these stores, I put my shopping list with coupons I plan to use in the sheet protector. Then if I find other great sales, I still have my binder there where I can quickly look and find other coupons to add to the list that day!

Finally I have the coupon policies printed for Cash Wise, Coborn's Walgreens, Target and WalMart. I have only had a problem at WalMart, and did not even have to pull out the policy for it to be resolved but I feel better having it on hand when I go shop. The more extreme I get, the more I know I will want to have those policies with me!

It took me about 3 hours to organize my binder in this new system last week. I had to transfer all my coupons from my previous system and put everything in page protectors. This week I could not believe how easy it was to clip and organize my coupons!! Now when I get a chance I will scan the ads, pick out the coupons I want and get shopping!

How do you organize your coupons?
