Recycling work binders :)

[lizamarie]

So at my P/T job I noticed they were throwing out these cute 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 binders all because the front and side were enclosed saying "2009". So I grabbed 1 out of the garbage and started cutting it with scissors (not too good looking), so I decided to grab 3 more to use an x-actor knife to it. Well I just finished with them and they have turned out well - 1 for me and 2 for my new couponing co-workers..lol

They noticed me saying how much money I have been saving and I have been giving them coupons here and there but I hit the mother load when I went to visit my family..my step-mother grabbed me like 30-40 smartsource/P&G booklets, (I shared with some nieces) and now have 6 full smart source booklets and a hand full of other coupons to give to them. Since my place is pretty much stocked up I thought my friends need something to put all these coupons into.

Now hopefully they will want them but they will have to pay me for the cost of the inserts as they were over $38 for 3 (15) sheet protectors and 3 (12 sheet 6 slot) business card holder refills. So around $13 per each binder.

great job on the binders. FYI Dollarama has the baseball card inserts 8 for $1.00.

but will it fit in these small binders?

OOh never thought about that. They won't fit as they are the 8.5" by 11" size. Sorry about that

just finished putting my laundry, paper supplies, cleaning supplies and household coupons in the binder...so happy with how it has turned out (wish I knew how to upload on this site, tried so many times)..and plus I printed out a colour photo of a girl putting money in a piggy jar (so cute)

I have a small binder and purchased the card holder sleeves from the dollar store. All I did is cut out to fit the binder (four pockets) and punched holes on the edge with a single hole puncher so that it can be put in my binder. It works great and I love the binder because it is compact when going into the stores.

hhmm thanks laddye I might have to get more. Plus I am not sure my coworkers will want to spend $13 just to put their coupons in.

Hope it works as well for you as it has for me!
