My coupon Binder..
Here it is, my coupon binder. I will make a new post with the groceries I bought yesterday and the savings I was able to acheive. :)
I have this binder seperated out into different catagories like baking, meats, fruits and veggies, health and beauty (I have to sub catagorize that one becasue I have way too many different things in there like make-up, tooth paste, shampoos, tooth brushes, meadicines...ect) breads and cereals, snacks... you get the picture. I got some baseball card pockets to house the coupons to keep them organized and to allow me to see them easily. I have dividers to seperate the catagories. My binder is a cloth zippered binder with lots of pockets. I also have a green pencil pouch to hold the coupons I will use for a specific shopping day. That way they are all right there.
I go to 3 different stores so I have my shopping list and the coupons for that specific store paper clipped to the list. I do this 3 times for all three lists.
I love this binder meathod as it allows me to be organised and I can weed through the various coupons so much easier than I did before when all 100+ coupons were in one large envelope. Now, if I see coffee on sale in a store I go to the beverages section of my binder and look for the coffee by flipping through the few pocket pages and it takes me seconds to see what I have on hand.
I keep a pair of scissors, pen, highlighter and a calculator in my binder.

UPDATE: I ended up got to The Krazy Koupon Lady website and printing out their seperator pages and I put them in clear 3-ring binder puckets and so my binder now has 38 catergories. It is so much easier that way too. There is a table of contents page that alows me to know that if I want beauty then i got to page 29 and drinks are 13 and so on. Love it!!
Sorry, I ended up "GOING TO" not got to. haha.
