My first coupon binder..

[wpgafwife]

I set up my first coupon binder yesterday as my original system (started two weeks ago) really got too big too fast and was chaos to deal with.

I picked up a Case-it binder from Zellers which is the Case-it binder that has the whiteboard style cover for quick note taking etc.

I also picked up plastic write-on dividers from Zellers

I also grabbed baseball card sheets from Dollarama (8 sheets for 1 dollar - bought 9 packs)

While at the dollar store, I also grabbed a concertina mini file for 1.25 I think it was.

Then I stopped at a coin store and picked up 15 paper currency sheets for 1 dollar each.

This is the system I have set up so far:

I'm going to set up a second binder in a couple of weeks, for Store Directories, coupon policies and so on.

Any tips and suggestions would be awesome. Thanks for looking either way!

Thank you! I know I'll need to organize it further still when the coupon collection grows but for now I can keep it pretty simple. lol

I wonder other than a coin store where you could find those sheets.... that would work great for me.. i keep my larger one in folders but then i never know what i have

I like the paper money holding sheets. Will have to look out for them.....

Great Job! If you don't mind me asking how much did they charge for the binder at Zellers? I never thought of using the paper money holders for the larger coupons. This would be much better than folding them. I will have to look out for them too

If anyone finds them at a dollar store can you let me know which one.

Thanks

Thank you DanesMom. Today is a super sweet coupon day. I went out to get some 'coupon in packaging' products, came back to find 3 envelopes full of coupons in my mailbox and my flyers on my doorstep. When I opened my flyers I had the rexall book in there, and the P&G brandsaver AND the red plum?

Only downside now is that I noticed the Go Coupons are HUGE and they are too big for my currency wallets but too small for protector sheets so now I need to find something that can store 2 per page? LOL

Of course I don't mind you asking I'm always happy to help out. I know people have said they have seen them on sale but I haven't seen them in the past two weeks. I was just interested in finding ANY case-it binders at all and since I noticed someone on here had mentioned one day, getting it at a zellers, I tried. It was between 19 and 21 bucks. I forget exactly how much. Not cheap I know but I have no patience and wanted to get my binder set up.

Thank you! I know there must be other coin stores where I am. The one I checked had some other inserts but not new ones like my 3 slots. I am not against used items but they were charging 50c a sheet for 4 slot (photo) sleeves and they were yellowed - unsure whether from being in a smoking home, or from age, but either way it was unappealing to me.

I'll check out some other coin stores! Thanks for the tip!
