how I organize my train coupons with pics
Well, I know most people like binders. I love the concept of them myself, I just could not lug one around. I also didn't want to make a whole other binder for my train coupons (after all they are costly when you add it all up). I was using this old blue striped picture keeper box that I got at CVS for 90% off. Well, it became a hug mess of coupons. I now use it to store another huge mess
Then a few weeks ago I was at a thrift store and found these deviders. They are alphabetical very heavy card stock. I put them in my cart thinking of what I could do with them. I then ran across this little crate and a lightbulb went on. Well the deviders wouldn't fit so I would have to cut them, no big deal. It cost me 1.50
I also keep things in the back like envies to mail, my scissors and my train book. I keep track of the addresses and each weeks buddies, also adding the dates they mail and receive. It's just a regular ole small spiral notebook that added tabs on. It holds two different train info.
I also added a picture of an old picture album that I use to hold my coupons that I use. It is the same concept as the binder (they are also alphabetically organized) except I can just pop it in my purse unlike my old huge binder.
So I thought I would add pics because for the longest time I had no idea what to do with all those clipped coupons for my trains. Now when I am looking at a riders wishlist, I sort to that letter and find what they need. It cut my time in half since the coupons were already cut and I didn't have to go searching through inserts.
How do you organize your train q's?
