I know that you guys will be sympathetic...

Last night I was in CVS. It was a very good trip as I was catching them just as they were finishing up unloading the truck. Everything I was looking for was in stock. I was having a merry old time. I flipped open my binder and all of a sudden, pages starting shotting out on to the floor. I use photo pages to organize my q catergories. Of course when they were hitting the floor they were doing so upside down so all of my carefully organized qs were in a big pile on the floor. Before it was all said and done, every page was out of the binder and almost every q was on the floor.

I had one of the Target reusable bags with me so I just scooped everything up and dumped it in there. Luckily I had the qs that I was using on that trip in my hand.

I guess something had happend to the metal part and the two bottom rings in the binder wouldn't close. The only thing holding them together was a partially closed top ring. When I started flipping through it, it was too much for the binder and it fell apart completely.

I went straight to Office Depot and bought a new soft-sided zipper binder. I came home and my DH (really should say dear, sweet, wonderful husband) helped me re-organize the whole thing again while we watched a movie.

In the end I think this new binder will work better for me. But sheesh, I felt like crying for a minute there in CVS.

Thanks for letting me vent!

i would have cried..boohoo

That's good that you got everything reorganized. I hope my binder doesn't do that!

Ugh, how awful! My dds decided to attack my coupons one day and got a bunch out of order-- that was fun to put back together!! Glad you are reorganized now!!

Ugh. Not good! I'm glad you got it back together!

ouch..not a joyous moment!

I'm surprised how calmly you handled it all!! If it was me I think I'd have collapsed and had a breakdown

Did you have a coupon for Office Depot or pay full price.....no really, so awful that it happened to you but hey, at least you know have a brand spanking new organizer with all your Qs in order!!

Thanks for the warning As I bought my first binder today. I scrounged pages out of by picture albums. I had bought the card holders for billfold size pictures. So I had my first visit to CVS using my coupon organizer. What a great help it is. Must be careful turning the pages once they get full. I would have cried if that happened to me.

oh boy sorry this happened but now you have a new binder! YAY!!

I think I deserve a new one for myself too... I wonder if CVS has something I can buy with ECB that makes a nice new coupon holder.

ugh not good! <3

Glad u go t it fixed I reorganized my coupons and paper clipped like ones together and it took me over an hour but it is so nice now.

I'm glad everything turned out ok. It's good that nothing was stolen.

ugh - so much for "staying under the radar" at CVS

Tragic!

Thank you to everyone! It really has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I love my new binder and think it's going to be easier to keep organized. I love the fact that it zips all the way around so if a pocket gets full it will at least stay contained.

Staviles: That was the worst part. No coupon for Office Depot. Had to pay full price. But I didn't even really hesitate. With as much as I save using qs they have to stay organized!
