How to start your binder.....

For those that do not have one then its time to go to which ever store you love the most or live near, for me its walmart to pick up a 3 inch zip up binder! Mine is a Fivestar, and i love it! While your there you will need to get yourself some clear protector sheets for your coupon policy's, and some baseball card inserts for your coupons! Alot of my friends and family have asked where to find the baseball card inserts, well where i have found them in my walmart is where all the baseball cards are at, its up front near the cash registers! You will also need to get dividers so that you can organize your coupons! I will give you my list as to how i have my binder set up! But you can set it up the way that you feel comfortable with!

Produce
Salty Snacks
Granola Bars/Fruit Snacks
PB&J
Canned Fruits and Vegetables
Pasta/Sauces/Soups
Baking
Breakfast
Prepared Sides
Condiments
Drinks
Refrigerated
Frozen
Candy
Baby
Reynolds

Laundry

Miscellaneous
Air Fresheners
Cold Medicine

Restaurants

I know that it is a long list but it works for me and like i said if you want to do it different that is great to!! It took me about 8 hours... yes i said 8 hours to get my binder in order it is not one of those tasks that are done in 30 min or less like a Rachel Ray meal!! It takes time to get it together and once it is done you will love it!! In my Binder i also have a pencil bag to put my scissors, calculator, and my pens in!!  I also save one baseball insert for all of my savings cards, like my VIC card or Kroger Plus, MVP.... keep them up front that way you will always have them with you no matter how many times you change your purse!! LOL!!   

I know that the next question that you will ask is:

Crystal, where do you print all of your coupons and how many can i print?

Well I print from a lot of places www.coupons.com is a great place to get them, and if you put in different zip codes from the USA you can find others! Another great place to print from is www.smartsource.com the same goes for that put other zip codes in and get more coupons! Now as to how many you can print the answer is 2 like coupons per computer! So if you have 5 computers in your house then that means 10 like coupons per house! If you are like me then you have 1 laptop witch will work just as good! I also get the Sunday newspaper, and my dad and step mom save me theres and other family members that dont use all of theres they save for me! I hope that this has helped and if there is anything that you have a question about please just let me know!!
