I ended up going w/ 2 packs of baseball card pages which seem to work okay, and I don't mind folding the coupons up so far... I guess we'll have to see when I've got "more miles" on my new binder.
I'd love to see your binder!! I love seeing how other people organize their coupons. Post them soon!! LOL

Well I am just starting a binder system today.
I got a Black binder since my husband will use it as well. Go Hubby!
We bought the 3x5 photo pages to use.
Someone else has that shown above.
I got an 8 pack of dividers but I have no idea on how to organize the categories. How did you organize inside your binders?
I already have a few of the 8X10 pages I can use as well for title pages categories.

We're new to all of this but this is something we desperately need. We're one of those family who ate out all the time and wasted so much $. Were really buckling down and want to turn over a new leaf. We shop mostly at Kroger and occasionally at Target and WM. (Thou with all the WM stories may just skip them for awhile).

I see a lot of people with binders that zip or close.
My idea is to get a tote bag to hold my binder and to get about 12 reusable bags for the groceries etc. and keep them all in the tote in my car. I getting sick of all the plastic bags!

My dividers are the ones with pockets so I have one for each of the primary stores (CVS, Kroger, Target, Walmart, etc.) which holds the weekly circular, store shopping list, instore coupons, rain checks, and gift cards.

my binder inside is organized by categories: dairy, meat, hair care, skin care, body care, paper & plastics, baby, air fresheners, cleaning, breakfast aisle, condiments, frozen, produce, etc. I have pocket dividers in the back - 1 for each store. I put the sale ad in the pocket, the printed deals list for each store behind that. Have a baseball card sleeve for store Q's behind each divider. I have no title pages, just the dividers. I highly recommend adding the drugstores to your list of stores to shop if you have access to them - preferably CVS and Walgreens
