.... and whats the point in paying $20 for something online that you can easily make yourself! I wanted to share the one I made last weekend that has already been a HUGE help when preparing for a shopping trip. I hope it does the same for you.
First things first, here is a list of what you will need:
3 inch binder
Dividers (at least 25)
Baseball card pages (can be found in the checkout isle where all the baseball cards are at Wal Mart, or at Hobby Lobby. Wal Mart was out of pages when I went and had a collectors album in that isle with pages already in it for $13, so I just bought that)
Pencil pouch
Calculator
Pen
Clear protector sheets (if you want)
Tape, or a sticker maker (I already had one I got for $8 at Hobby Lobby)
COUPONS (duh)
Your dividers should obviously be categorized pretty specifically. I'm going to tell you exactly how I have mine done. You can adjust yours however you want. I also have sub-categories in each one. I will list those for you as well. I am a very detail oriented and overly organized person, so you don't HAVE to go this far. I like it this way, but it is your choice!
In the very front, in clear protectors, I have printed off every store's coupon policy which I found on Faithful Provisions.... so that I can always refer to it if needed while out shopping.
See what I mean by sub-categories:
Now here is the list of categories and subs, starting with a tab for each store I shop at that usually has their own store coupons, so I can keep them separate from all the other manufacturer's coupons!
Keep in mind I only use categories of things I personally buy the most! You can add, subtract whatever you see fit!
