Thanks for your quick answer! I tried the binder/notebook aisle with no luck, but I didn't think to check the front of the store. Hopefully I will have more luck there. Thanks again!! :)

Amanda,
Thanks! The baseball inserts at my Walmart store were with the regular clear page inserts on the aisle with binders/notebooks. You might also find them near the front where they sell the baseball cards themselves. Hope that helps!

This sounds like a great system! I've found a cute binder, but I can't find baseball card holders! Any idea where I can find them? I have tried Wal-Mart... maybe I looked in the wrong section???

I found a really neat coupon organizer that costs $20 couponizer.com. Don't you wish we would have thought of that! It works really well and also comes with a shopping list pad, scissors, calculator, and a pad to keep track of your savings each time you shop. Just do a search on couponizer.

I use the binder method with baseball card inserts, To make room for more coupons in each section without having to add more inserts -- I cut card stock to fit in each pocket to divide the coupons so I can use front and back. Works for me!

Carrie,
I usually fold the coupons that are too big to fit in the baseball inserts. However, I also have a full size (8.5 x 11) page protector at the very front of my binder, for big or unfiled coupons. In addition, I have full size page protectors at the back for coupon booklets.

Hope that makes sense! Thanks for reading :)

Question: The coupons that are too large or too long to fit into the baseball size holder...what do you do with them? fold them? put them somewhere else?

Hi Sarah,

I found your blog via the "Keeping the Kingdom First" Coupon Binder Show & Tell. I just wanted to share how much I liked this post and that I love the look and feel of your blog. Thanks for sharing your coupon system. I saw a TV news feature on couponing last week, and I am just getting started. Having graduated from a college in the south, and now living in Ohio, your blog has the southern flair and style I miss so much! I will keep visiting for more of your ideas!

My next order of business is to purchase a pink zipper binder! I love pink! I think it'll inspire me to better organize my coupons!

Thanks for sharing. Love your system.

Sarah, this is too funny! I have never seen this post until today. Your coupon binder looks almost exactly like mine, and I got it at Wal-Mart.

I posted a video today with a tour of my binder.

Great minds think alike, my friend!

Monica,
I tried to be super-frugal and stuff more than one coupon into each slot (so that I wouldn't have to buy more inserts!). However, it was a nightmare since I couldn't easily see each coupon, so I wouldn't recommend it, unless it's a temporary fix. The only exception is if I have multiples of the same coupon, then they go together in one slot.

I do have several pages of some types of products (like baby stuff), but honestly, everything is so easy to find that I don't mind flipping through the pages!

After having all my coupons stuffed together, searching for a coupon now (and finding it quickly) gives me such a feeling of accomplishment! Good luck with yours ;)

2008-04-27T21:03:00.000-04:00

Sarah, I also need to change my accordian style method of storing coupons. Mine is stuufed and it is hard to find what I need! I'm still trying to figure out how the binder method works. Do you put one coupon per slot for a total of 10 coupons per page. If so, does that make for tons of pages per section? Thanks for all the info., I am looking forward to hearing more. BTW, the pink binder is cute!

tinfl,
I clip almost all of the coupons from the newspaper unless they are:
1) Animal food/products (we don't have any pets!)
2) Foods/products that I wouldn't eat or use, even if they were free!

Even if a coupon is for something I don't normally buy, I clip it now because with shopping at CVS, you just never know when you might get something for free!

Glad you enjoyed the post :)

I am still using the accordian type right now, but will soon have to graduate to the bigger style.

I actually have a zipper binder almost just like yours that I got from Office Depot on clearance awhile back. Hmm.. maybe I can now put it to good use!
