My Binder Brag!!

[Ashley_M]

I don't normally brag but I felt this was defiantly worth it! Today I went in Dollarama to buy some hangers. Noticed that they had been bumped up to 3 dollars for 10 instead of the regular 2 dollars for 7. Cursing the new $3 item program that Dollarama had just introduced, I stumbled into the stationary section. I couldn't believe my eyes, they exact same binder I spent $22.00 on not 5 months ago at Zellers was on sale for $3!!! Same brand, except these seemed to be the newer version (brighter colours, plus a design on the front!) I scooped up 3, one in each colour! As I had been planning for awhile to set up my mom and my aunt with their own coupon binders, but at $22 a piece I was better off couponing for them!


For the less then half the price of my orginal binder I was able to get THREE! With the extra money saved I was able to buy a bunch of Baseball card holders, these amazing notebook / agenda / planner things( brand name seen at wal-mart for over $15) Folder so they can each have one with the Coupon Policies and another with a Price Book, scissors, and cardstock.
On a side note, What other things do you think I should include in their "newbie" coupon binders? They hardly coupon with out me there so I want to make sure I cover ALL the basis to get them started on their own. Thinking of also doing a "how to" binder. If you had any ideas of what to include in that, well that would be amazing!


If your kids are picky about getting dollar store stuff for Back to School, go to dollarama ASAP! They had tons of Five Star notebooks, pencils cases, everything you need at a fraction of the price of WM.

Nows the time! The woman said they stocked over 100 of those binders this morning, when I went they only had about 20 left. She said teachers have been coming in and calling other teachers to see if they wanted any. One woman left with about 50!

As an elementary teacher, I hated zipper binders... kids would bring them, (and sometimes two or three!) and they wouldn't fit in their little desks! They're good for kids with lockers who carry their stuff from class to class. After a few years of tripping over zipper binders, I was asking for 1-1/2 inch vinyl binders on the supply list!

Great deals, though!

OMG!!! So the exact same thing happened to me today!! I went into dollarama for some more clear baseball card holders for my coupons and when I saw those binders I nearly passed out!!! Their huge, awesome, and even come with a detachable filing folder with dividers. I also found this awesome Mead financial organizer high quality notebook, you can keep track of monthly expenses and it has slots for every months bills and receipts. I also found XL Bic highlighters (24 pack) for $3.00! I couldn't believe my eyes. I was going to post a thread just like this tonight but you beat me to it. Everyone, you must check out Dollarama!!
