Coupon Binder
How To Create A Coupon Binder
A coupon binder is not for everyone, but if you’re like me and have more coupons than you can even count, I would definetely suggest having one. It does take time to set up and organize but it is certainly time well spent.
Here are the supplies you will need:
- Large 3 Ring Binder (zippered is best)
- Baseball Card Sheets (9 pockets on each sheet) Buy these at the dollar store
- Sheet Protectors
- Calculator
- Pen
- Scissors
- Zippered Bag (with holes in it so you can put it in your binder)
- Dividers With Tabs
Now, you need to decide on your categories. You may want something like this:
- Food
- Pets
- Baby
- Beauty
- Health
- Misc.
Or you may want to be more specific and do something like this:
- Pets-Food
- Pets-Supplies
- Baby-Diapers & Wipes
- Baby-Food
- Baby-Supplies
- Beauty-Makeup
- Beauty-Hair Care
- Beauty-Shaving
… and so on.
Once you have figured your categories out, write them down on your divider tabs and put them in your binder. Then add maybe 2 or 3 of the baseball card sheets (you can add more later if you need to) to each category.
Now just add your coupons into the proper category. You can fit a few of them into each slot.
I suggest having some regular sheet protectors at the back of your book that hold the following:
- coupon policies
- over-sized coupons
- mail in rebate forms
- bonus point coupons
Put your calculator, pen and scissors into the zippered bag and put that at the back (or front) of your binder as well.
That’s it! You’re good to go
