What kind of coupon organizer do you use?

[FallenPixels]

There are some older threads on this but I have some specific questions so thought I would start a new thread rather than reviving one from the dead

I have outgrown my dollar store 7 section accordion file and am looking for new ideas but dont know what will suit me

Could you post a photo or description (or both) of your coupon system

What I have seen people mention they use
* bigger accordion file or more than one
* binder with baseball card sleeves
* index card holder
* ziploc baggies or envies
* photo albums
and various others

I often take the bus shopping as M is not home during the day so I don't want anything too bulky as I would like to carry it in my (huge) purse

The bigger coupons dont fit in baseball card holders without folding until you have no idea what they are - how do you work around this

The photo album I have used seem to rip at the plastic sleeve with continued pulling out coupons

I think the index card holders may be too bulky but would like to see someone's - I am also worried that I would drop it and spill my coupons everywhere

at this point, I have too many coupons for just envies or baggies in my purse

This is a video of my binder (oh and for the larger coupons use paper money collector sheets!)

paper money collector sheets seems to be what I am missing (and way cheaper than three 4x6 photo album pages)
thanks!

Wellllllllll...

[MrsSunshine]

I'll post my pics of my binder. PLEASE don't quote. not leaving the pics up too long.

i use these, which are now apparently very hard to find, i bought them at walmart for about $8 each, and they are smaller than the standard size accordion file holders about 6 x 8 they are great for me, but sadly i have too many coupons for just the 2 of them, and they are bulky

[FallenPixels]

Yeah that is my problem, the bulk in the ones I have

MrsSunshine, do you also use the money sleeves or are all of yours in baseball card holders

You've never seen my zippered binder? It must be because you don't come to meets.

Just kidding, I'll post a pic of it tonight.

Now heading home from work. Missed the meet today too.

I've got a smaller album that I keep in my purse with all my HV, FPCs and coupons that I want with me at all times. I try not to let it get too heavy. My big binder is for all my other coupons.

[FallenPixels]

You wouldnt go in if you didn't have to either - turns out I stayed at home needlessly as my landlord did not show up, if he thinks I am sitting at home waiting for him again on a day I should be in the office he is mistaken - and he is getting a nasty letter tomorrow!

I have seen your album but I knew that was not the extent of your coupon collection

[MrsSunshine]

Fallen. all of my coupons are in the hockey card sleeves. although im desperately trying to find the 4x6 sleeves.

I use a zippered binder that I tote everywhere with me. For the bigger coupons, I used sheet protectors. It fits 2 gocoupon size coupons pretty well. I know lots of people will not want to spend much money on coupon organizer. I think I paid $14 for my zippered binder from WM, then bought hockey card slots and sheet protectors from the dollar store. Most of these stuff would be cheaper during the back to school season. I bought mine 2 days before I had to deliver my baby...lol....and got it all sorted out the same night. hehe
It is worth the money spent, since I happen to come across unadvertised deals in stores many times and my organized binder makes it so easy.
