I want to see YOUR coupon binder brag :)
I have been searching high and low for the "perfect" couponn binder that is easy to take along for shopping trips , also convenient since I use public transit to haul my loads .
I would love to see the different kinds people have been using to give an idea for us newbies what works . Also im sure there are many DIY coupon binder makers out there...any info would be helpful . Although my coupon craze is making my coupon stash larger ...im going crazy from seeing so many envelopes when I have to find a specific coupon.....I used to only have a LARGE envelope..singluar ...only one ..now im sporting 5 envelopes plus a box that tampax samples came in ....all in which the contents are unknown....the horror
Pictures would be great ..afterall it is your brag.

I use a small photo album. 200 pockets I believe. I bought it at the dollar store for one dollar. I added masking tape tabs. I have fairly broad groupings. I order my coupons with the most relevant or most used first in each category. The coupons I plan to trade or won't use are at the back of each category.
I keep two pockets at the front to organize current trades. I keep a few pockets at the back for specific store promotions. I like the small photo album because it's small enough to take with me but big enough for a good amount of coupons. I've had it for about six months I'll probably have to replace it within another six months as the pockets are tearing. So I would say it's lifespan is a year.
The time Im able to devote to couponing makes it a hobby for me. Having a slightly smaller master book Provides boundaries for the amount of coupons and time I'm allowed to spend towards couponing as well which I personally need.

I then tried one of Glow Girl Fibers' coupon organizers. It was really handy for a while and super cute! One day though, I was sitting with it on my lap and reached over for something, the whole thing fell on the floor. Coupons EVERYWHERE. Took me hours to reorganize everything.
NOW ladies and gents (drum roll), I believe I've found the perfect solution for ME and I doubt I'll be going back! I use a small binder (from Staples). It holds less coupons per page, but I can fit it in my purse! I have tabs for different section and keep scissors and post-its in the front pocket (you never know when you'll need post-its!).
