Thought I would post some pics of my binder. I get a lot of attention when shopping with this thing! It has a long strap so I can hang it from the shopping cart when not in use. And when I need to open it, it sits perfectly in the shopping cart seat! Its always filled to the brim!

I purchased the binder from Case-it. I got the Extra-Large 4" D-Ring binder, which is for an extreme couponer like me. I dont see it on their site anymore so I hope they are still going to carry it. Another option would be the 3" Large binder which is for a moderate couponer.

Enjoy!

Here are my replies to everyone's questions in one place:


When I file my coupons weekly, I scan for expireds. Also, if I have 2 different Huggies coupons, they each get their own spot.

My out of pocket was more than 95% off the retail! So I spent around $2150 which was about $175 a month! I received quite a few RX gift cards throughout the year for CVS. I also had several yard sales which the money that I made I rolled back into CVS. You have to take into consideration that I have supplied my home with all of the basic necessities and even food from CVS for an extraordionary discount! I have saved our family a tremendous amount of money. I still blow my mind thinking about that!

The way I shop is I make my list and do all of my shopping. Then when I am done, I pull my coupons. As I am shopping I make notes on my list if I decide not to get something or I come accross something that I needed that was not on my list. I usually park my cart in a low traffic area so I am not in anyone's way. I flip open my binder in the seat and pull the coupons I need. It is so easy! Also, a lot of times I come accross some clearanced items, so at that point I flip open my binder and see if I have any coupons for those items. If so, I go ahead and pull those coupons.


I dont alphabetize each coupon, Only by the letter. So all the A's go togeather. I dont alphabetize the A's. Now that is just too much work. All I do is clip my coupons and alphabetize them on my desk. Then I start at the beginning and start flipping looking for an empty spot in the A's then the B's and so on. As I do this, I also scan for expireds and pull them out. It honestly does not take a lot of time and and so incredibly easy to find coupons while I am shopping.


They are baseball card sleeves. I actually got mine at Target. They were right by the registers with the other Baseball collector stuff.

I keep it very simple, alphabetical order from A-Z. No categories or anything.

I do keep a small accordian file that I keep my ECB's, WAGs and HT coupons in.

[mcdlady1]

[Drea]

WOW thats really nice..how do you have them labeled in your binder then...catergories???

[cajunbaglady]

I really like the fact that yours has a strap and a handle. mine does not and I wish it did.
I might have to look for a 4" binder because I am definitely outgrowing my 2 1/2 inch one

[triscut]

Very nice!

[twilson79]

Awesome!!!

[onlymadaresane]

I'm CRYING! I can't find that 4inch ANYWHERE! I stupidly waited to order it and now it's gone!!

Do you like it?! My 3" case it is bursting at the seams! LITERALLY! LOL

I LOVE IT! I wish they still had it because once mine gets worn out, I will want another one. Maybe you could try to contact them directly and ask if they will be offering it again? Also, check Ebay!

Sweet!

[erp0620]

OMG! That thing is HUGE!!! Looks great!

[jmfrogger]

Thanks for posting. IDK if I am ready for such a big binder, but it really helps to see the inside. Are those the baseball card sleeves? Where did you find them? I looked at Target, but didn't see any.

[cddwil]

[BreaMarie]

Wow, that's exactly what I need! My 3 inch binder is bursting at the seams.
I found a regular 4 inch binder at Goodwill, but I'd love to have a fabric cover. I think I'm gonna need to stop being a weenie and just sew one for it. I hate sewing zippers though, ugh.
Too bad they don't make those anymore!

[wendis]

All I can say is WOW! I am a newbie and this will for sure help me get organized!

[lurkin1]

That is an amazing binder. Good job.

[preciousgirl1120]

Great binder. I have a pink one. I bought it when I was doing school shopping for the girls last summer.

[ladysaver1]

Fantastic!! I just purchased more inserts in Target's toy department. A Walmart clerk said they had pulled their baseball card sleeves. I also understand that ToysRUs is carrying the inserts. I started with a 2" binder and now I am approaching a 3" one. Maybe I will us another 2" binder for non-food items.

Great Job,
Carol

[newbie2008]

I too have the Cast it binders... altho mine has two 3 ring sets inside the zipper. Even with that, mine is bursting also. The 4 inch sounds pretty good. Guess I"ll have to contact Cast it also....

I hve two binders, one for food items, one for all others. While I like that I don't have to carry all the non-food coupons around with me at the grocery store, there are times when I see some non-food items on sale and wish I had it with me. I started out with just the one binder, and had to move to two... Now I wish I had just one big one....

[andreaskye]

All I can say is, Impressive!!

[Deidra]

Pretty durn cool! I think it'll take me years to get to a 4 inch though LOL

[JenJackson]

What a great looking binder! Mine doesn't have a strap, but boy would that be convenient!
