*This is my old binder, but the method is the same! I now have designed and sell my own binders!
I used a Case It brand binder (find some at that link on Amazon!) that has 2 rings inside. One is a 2 1/2 inch ring and the other is 1 inch ring.
The left section is bigger and holds all my coupons for groceries or things I might find in a grocery store. The right side I use for everything that I buy at CVS or Walgreens. Toiletries and Pharmacy items.
I love this binder because it has so many pockets and zipper bags. I keep store circulars, grocery cards, coupon books and scissors here.
PUT YOUR NAME IN YOUR BINDER! Just incase you loose or forget it in the cart, make sure someone can get it back to you!
I use baseball card holders to store my coupons. I have a few clear CD pages in here but those are just in the back for really big coupons I can’t fold. I cut and put all my coupons in at one time.
You can watch video too:
This method is best for me. I love to be able to flip through the pages and see exactly what I have, it also makes pulling out expired’s easy. My sections of the binder are labeled like the isles of a grocery store. I sit my binder in the child seat of the cart ( if a kid is there I have to put the binder in the cart) than I as I walk down
the aisles I just flip to that section of the binder and can easily see what coupons I have.
These are the categories that I have in my binder.
First section:
- Dairy
- Snacks
- Baking
- Canned
- Deli
- Boxed
- Frozen
- Drinks
- Cereal
- Cleaning
- Non-Food
- Pets
- Mom/Baby
Second Section:
- Deodorant
- Teeth
- Shaving
- Lotion
- Shampoo
- Make-Up
- Pharmacy
- Paper
Places to buy supplies. I would estimate it to cost about $40 to put together a good binder.
Binders:
During the back to school sales try Target, Walmart, Walgreens and the Office Supply Stores. Or check out Amazon.
Baseball Card Pages:
I get mine at Walmart, they are about 35 for $5.98. They are located in the front of the store by the baseball and Pokemon cards. Target has a bigger pack for about $15 but they are always sold out. I have heard that people get them at the Dollar Store but I have looked for a year and have never seen them.
Page Dividers:
Again, usually Walmart. Just make sure you don’t use the paper pages, they will tear in no time. Get the plastic pages. I used a label maker to label mine.
