The traditional mini coupon holders weren't cutting it for me while shopping in the grocery store so I decided to create my own mini coupon binder to help keep me organized in the store. Before I go shopping I pull out exactly what coupons I want to use from my larger home binder and place them into this one. I wanted to share it with my fellow SCer's so maybe you can make your own! The binder is just a simple day planner/calendar I had found in my basement. It's camo because I'm a Vet and no one messes with a coupon user with a camo binder LOL!
. I cleared out the outdated calendar but kept the notepad. To make the coupon holders I purchased baseball card sleeves from the dollar store, (some of you may use these in your larger coupon binders), I carefully cut them into 9 seperate sleeves. To make the backing for them I cut hanging file folders for a file cabinet to size and holepunched them to fit in the binder. This way I had a sturdy backing for my sleeves. Using a glue stick I glued each sleeve to the backing I was able to fit 3 sleeves per page. You can add as many pages as you need to in order tro stay compelety organized in the store. I've included pictures below so you may see exactly what it looks like! I hope this inspires you to create your own!

Welcome to SC.
Thanks for the tip about the binder .I love your mini binder idea as I to hate crowded stores and crowded areas. I am using baseball card folders cut in three's but have them in a lg pencil case which when in the stores is not visible enough and takes to long to pull them out for a look.
I will have to try this idea and see if it takes stress off of my coupon shopping ....
