I wanted to know if anyone has a coupon binder and what do you use in it? As in the plastic sleeves or whatever they are called and where did you get them? I'm starting to accumulate alot of coupons and a regular old coupon organizer is not going to cut it anymore!

Me~I love my coupon binder. I use baseball card sleeves (bought in the baseball/game card section). Some people use 4x6 ones too, but that is way too bulky for me.

Some coupons do NOT fit into my slot so I just fold it so that I can see $ and expiration date.

I have a Case-It from Target that has two ring binders in it and zips closed. I use a mixture of baseball card pages, AND photo pages for 4x6 and 3.5x5. I think I'm going to take out the baseball card pages and give them to my son though. Too many of my coupons don't fit and it makes it hard to keep like-coupons together.

I love my coupon binder!

I use the baseball card sleeves and then just fold in half the coupons that don't fit. For really extra large coupons, I put those in the pocket sleeve at the back of the binder. I have my coupons divided into categories by insert tabs. I also have a 1 subject notebook at the front where I write down my grocery list and my weekly meals.

I outgrew my accordian folder and moved to a binder a little over a month ago. I love it.
I found a Staples brand similar to the Case-it ones. I knew I would have to have a zipper closure and a carrying strap.
I use the baseball card inserts from Walmart. I also have some 4x6 pockets in the front to hold the coupons I pull for each shopping trip.
I still haven't perfected my system, but I love it.

I use a hand me down one, but use a envelope system when I go shopping. I separate the coupons into one or two envelopes with the shopping list on the outside. It has been what has worked best for me personally.

I use a regular binder with baseball card inserts, then I take regular printer paper and punch holes in it and right my shopping lists and notes on where to buy what right in the front. I love it, it makes shopping so much easier =)
