i use a three ring one inch binder that i got from work. inside i put plain old clear paper protector thingies (not sure what they're called), got those from work too. then i slid one piece of colorful paper in each protector. now i have two sides per one protector. i created labels according to groups (much like the other ladies have), and i just throw all of the coupons from that group into the folder that matches. i also have extra pockets in the back (because the binder is 8x10) for my grocery store fliers, my pharmacy fliers, and my expired coupons, which i don't throw away.

it works for me, and best of all, everything was free, because i got all of the items from work

I am in the process of "creating" my own coupon carrier since I have not found exactly what I need. One of the things I do however, is on the separator card for each section, I write in the regular price of an item if I had to buy it without a coupon at the lowest price (such as Walmart). For example, Dial 8 pk soap @ WalMart $3.37. This way I know if I'm really getting a good deal & should stock up on it. I also keep a separate section for FREE items. Publix in our area has a mystery coupon on Sunday & Monday where you can get an item for a penny, with a $10. purchase. Sometimes I don't need anything else to get them min purchase so I use my freebies. I can leave paying a couple of dollars for over $10. in products.

I have used all methods. I had the expandable one, but it wasn't big enough.
I tried the baseball card binder. It took way to much time to try to clip them the right size and I ended up just having a pile inside of the binder waiting to be filed. Now I bought this one:
Subscriptions
It is awesome. It comes with the dividers already labled. It fits in the grocery cart. So If something is on clearance I can check for a coupon. I have room for my scissors, and eating out coupons. It has been awesome. I also bought a rotary cutter type of scissors which are great.

I can only see a very small picture on that website, but what if you have a small child that sits in the grocery cart?

I bring my two children with me most times. the baby always is in the seat. I have been trying to leave them home with Dad, so I can focus, but you know how that goes. Anyway,I always pull the coupons I am planning on using before I go to the store, and I keep the organizer in the back of the cart. In case I see an unexpected clearance item or sale that I might have a coupon for.

I have the spring basket. I looked online and didn't see it. I'll post a picture the next time I get a chance to download the pictures off my camera.
