Coupon Binders

[tcmata]

I have seen quite a few people at the stores with their coupons in a binder (maybe like a baseball card type?). Can someone that uses this tell me how you have them organized? Currently I use an expandable file folder type deal, but wonder if there is a better way! It is sometimes irritating to have to dig through the coupons while at the store!!

Thanks for any adivce!!

Sounds interesting! Would love to know too. I've got mine in a file box, and it's not particularly convenient to take with me.

I use a 4x6 flat album that slides in a plastic sleeve for mine. The baseball card pockets were too small for me. You would have to fold up most of the coupons if you do this. I just have mine set up by categories, like the store I shop at has their rows. When I get my coupon order in I just put each coupon type in a slot all together. It makes it SO much easier to keep track of them. I started out with one of those 100 picture 4x6 brag books that you find at the dollar store. That did ok for about a year then I needed to expand.

I have a coupon binder, with baseball card holders for coupons. It works great. PM for more info.

I use both baseball card and photo sheets in mine.

I have one of the coupon boxes and I really like it. I have never tried the coupon binder. I bought mine off of eBay. It looks like this:

(This is NOT my auction and I am not promoting this auction. Just showing what mine looks like.)

I don't do multiple coupons (only get the one set from the paper). So I don't know if that makes a difference. This has really helped me make the most use of my coupons.

I subscribe to couponsense - I have a binder with baseball card holders. I clip the coupons I might possibly use and file them by the week they came. Couponsense has a report of coupons by category, so when I am in the store and I see something that wasn't an advertised sale, I look for it by the category (i.e. frozen foods) and the report will tell me which week to look in. The service has a lot of other features as well (such as matching up the sale items in your area with the coupons that are out there for the best deals).

Snoodledoo, I'm checking out couponsense right now. Don't have time to thoroughly go through it in order to make a decision, but may do that soon. I see there is a referral bonus. Would you mind sharing your couponsense ID so you can get two weeks free if I decide to join? You can PM me if you want.

Also, seems like the only part of couponsense that isn't working right now is the subscription rates. It comes up with the time periods (10 weeks, etc) but no money figures. Can you give me an idea what they run?
