I went to Walmart and found all the supplies. About 30 minutes into folding coupons to fit into those tiny card trading pages I was tired and aggravated.
Thank God for my husband who has been interested in this entire saving money thing and now wants to know what I am working on all the time. He mentioned that it seemed like a pain and thought he could have something that might help me.
He went upstairs and came back with ten currency protector pages for people who collect currency and coins. A couple of the pages only had 3 openings, the rest had 4. They are top loading and WONDERFUL. I cannot rave about them enough!!! The pockets are big enough that even the $1 Capri Sun coupons fit in them perfectly. No folding, no muss and I can pull out a handful of coupons in an instant and not have to address the unfolding issue.
They are definitely more expensive than trading card pages (about .79 cents each). Unfortunately, he only had ten, but he had others that were side loading (not so convenient or sturdy) so I'm using them until we can get to the coin collector store and purchase more.
It makes sorting and filing the coupons a breeze and I can see everything better, plus, NO MORE FOLDING. Geez, I didn't even last 45 minutes, I could have never kept it up for weeks.
