Coupon Binder Show & Tell!

I originaly posted this a few months ago, but am re-posting it to enter Kingdom First Mom’s “Coupon Binder Show & Tell Contest”. I wanna WIN!!! For the other great entries, go here.

You may recall a couple of months ago that I shared with you how I was organizing my coupons in a coupon box. Weeeelll, due to my growing obsession, I quickly outgrew that method! Thanks to the encouragement of my friend Krista, I am now the ~~nerdy~~ proud owner of a coupon binder. And I am lovin’ it! The binder is really working well for me. Here’s how you too can organize your coupon binder if when you sink to that level of coupon nerdiness. (Click on the pictures for a larger view.)

Start with a zip-up binder:

Get some baseball card inserts and put your categorized coupons in them:

Get some sticky tabs and write your category names on them and stick them to the edge of the baseball card inserts:

Get some 4×6 picture inserts for larger coupons and rebate forms:

Ta-da! You have your coupons clearly organized and they’re easy to carry with you! SO, that’s what’s working for me these days…I can even take all my coupons when I have the kids with me!
