I try to pull coupons that I know I'm going to use for each store and put them into envelopes, but I keep them in my binder (it has a zippered seperate section in the front with an accordian file type thing) so I know exactly what i'm going for, so yeah, I bring in my big ole binder, but I try to make sure some of my coupons are easily accessible because I have a 4 year old and 1 year old in tow as well..

I have a business planner instead of a 3 ring binder... it's smaller and fits in my purse. So I do have it with me in the store but no one else knows that unless I find something that I need to pull the planner out for... but I usually don't have to do that. I take all the coupons I know I'm going to use and put them in my wallet.

I'm justing getting ready to start using a binder! If anyone has any suggestions on type to buy or ways to make it easier to use let me know!

Emarkle,

Here's a link that shows a couple of pictures in the original post: http://www.afullcup.com/upload/coupo...d-inserts.html

There is ALOT of chat about these binders and various other methods here on the boards..do some looking around. You'll see.

This is the preferred method by alot of us...yet not all. I've tried many methods and so far, for me, this works best. I still find myself pulling out the ones I KNOW I will use that day and sticking them in an envelope before hand. Saves a little time.

It is also still on my list to get a pencil pouch for the front of my binder to put my USE/HOT coupons in. And remember, you can use a dry erase marker on the sleeves to write prices/sale dates/# of coupons in that spot, etc. - This works great for me!

I got my binder at Wal-Mart for 9.96 - Baseball card holders at Target about $5.00 - I'm sure others have gotten theirs cheaper.

I do know that at one time not too long ago, AFC member CM_Angel was offering to make these for those in need. Look up her post - I can't find it right now but I could be overlooking it.

Last but not least..we can only offer TIPS...how you use it and what works best is entirely up to you...
