Here is a self-made video tour of my coupon binder. I do hope you enjoy it! (Be nice, this is my very first attempt at this kinda thing).
*For further details about my coupon binder, read my follow up post!*
By the way, why has no one ever told me how annoying my voice sounds?
So, I need feedback, y’all.
Do you want to see more video tutorials on my blog? If so, what would you like to see?

I love it! In fact, you’ve inspired me to change my system…hope you don’t mind.
Keep on vlogging!

That was awesome!! I need to highlight this video on my blog. It deserves more than a comment entry.

I love the video. I actually have a similar idea instead i use page protectors for each main product (like L’oreal, revlon, advil, exedrin, etc.). I use both sides of the page protector. For the not so popular brands i use the couponizer from couponizer.com. The food section i have is in page protectors and the categories match that of the couponizer.com . I love your folder, i bought mine at big lots for $8, but i wanted to get one with a handle to carry it easier.

Two questions:
Where can I get a copy of the grocery game rules (new to this!) and
Why do you keep the internet coupons separate instead of filing them in the categories?
Thanks for the tutorial since I’m a newbie!

Your voice is great…sounds like someone I’d like to be my friend:) I’d like to see grocery rules also.
[Reply]
Great video! Your voice is great. I love how you threw in a “y’all!”
I love the zipper binder and have actually been thinking of getting one. I have mine in a regular binder and my coupons fall out all the time if it gets turned up the wrong way! LOL! Thanks for sharing yours! It’s great inspiration!
[Reply]
Thanks for sharing. My binder is almost exactly the same. However, I love your overflow idea! My husband is a pastor and we get to church on Sunday morning a couple of hours early, so that is when I work on coupons. I can’t tell you how many times I have had them all categorized and had to put them all together for lack of time to file. I will be adding an overflow for each section.
Thanks so much,
Susan

I just got into couponing about 6 months ago and decided to try the binder method after getting lost in inserts every week – I bought the exact same binder (in green) and set mine up (almost to the “T”) the same way that you described (though I don’t have my Grocery Game rules in mine…yet – great idea!) My tabs are also pocket folders that hold my overflow..otherwise exactly the same – great video!
[Reply]
i really enjoyed your vlog! looking forward to the next one!
[Reply]
Very cool. I may just change my method completely!
[Reply]
I love your binder! I think I am going to try that, I have outgrown my current system.
[Reply]
Yes I did watch it, sorry I couldn’t comment until now. It was very intersting and I will have to try that out!
I’ll be posting in the next few days. I’v scored big this week=) It’s so exciting=)=)=)
[Reply]
I love your system. I went ahead and changed mine pronto! My old system wasn’t working for me, since I had to look through every coupon with it. Now, all I need to do is flip through the pages. I even put similar coupons on the same page to make flipping through the binder even easier. I didn’t realize from the video, how big the binder is, but I love it! I think I’m going to get a second one for my home files.
[Reply]
I’ve never heard of the rules for the coupon game. What is this?
[Reply]
Awesome job! I’m a visual learner and really liked seeing your explanation instead of reading it.
Questions–why do you keep your internet printed coupons separate? How do you find them if they’re not filed under food, health, etc.?
[Reply]
Questions:
Do you clip all the coupons from the paper and store them or just the ones you know you will use? I usually have about 3 coupon inserts every week. I started transferring them to a binder like yours but am thinking I will run out of room.
Also, you mentioned you get about 15 coupons per page. Can you give more detail? Are they duplicates?
Thanks!
[Reply]
Great video! I am a new mom, new to coupons, and new to “mommy blogs”. There is a whole new world out there!
I have some of the same questions as others. I would love to see the grocery game rules and wondered why you kept internet coupons separate. Thanks!

Great job! I have yet to organize my coupons in a way that works for me, so this was a great incentive for me to get my butt and gear and organize my coupons!
[Reply]
Now THAT is a binder! And yes, vlogging is a word. And no, your voice isn’t scary or annoying!

I have the same binder. I actually ended up dumping mine recently. I did love my binder i just wish the trading card sleeves were bigger pockets. I’d probably still be using it if they were. But since I don’t get as many inserts, I’m back to using my creative memories photo binder (looks and feels like a coupon accordian file but bigger) so I can carry it with me all the time. I do alot of drive bys on lunch break and it is easy to carry.
[Reply]
I loved it! I’ve only been couponing a few weeks now (three maybe) and I’ve already outgrown my little coupon file! I’m headed to Wal-Mart tomorrow and I’m getting the materials to do that! It’s perfect! Thank you so much for sharing!

Love you binder, just switched to one myself and love it your contest has given me the push to put it on my blog soon. Question you are obviously a Grocery Gamer, I looked into it awhile ago and passed but may rethink what are your reasons for using it? pros/cons? Thanks for sharing
[Reply]
Great system! My mother-in-law just came into town and set up a binder for me very similar to this. I do two things differently. First, I organize my grocery coupons according to how my favorite grocery store is layed out – dairy first, meats, cereals/baked goods, freezer, etc. That saves a lot of flipping back and forth. Second, I put my store-printed coupons in the normal coupon section with like items. Say, I got a $1 Colgate from a CVS receipt. It would go with my toothpaste coupons and not with my ECBs.
[Reply]
I really like your voice, and you coupon system!
[Reply]
Love the system and the vlog! New to couponing myself.. What exactly is the groecery game?
Also, you should put together a “coupon system” thats labeled like yours and offer them for sale on Ebay or something, I’d buy one.

awesome! i’m off to target tomorrow to get my binder!!! woo hoo!!!
[Reply]
Wow I am new to this site…I am always in search of a great coupon adventure. I also do the binder…here is what I do…I have a list Baby Baking Beverage cleaning products candy…you get the point. I get 4 sunday newspapers for the coupons and in my binder I have a tab with the catergory…and then 3 inserts behind each tab. The trick is that the inserts are baseball card holders….so you can get all your coupons beatly in all the inserts where cards would go. It is amazing….besides CVS I am very attached to Frys….Almost every shopping trip at the bottom of my slip it saves how much you saved, it’s always around 60-90% I love love doing it. I have never paid for toilet paper toothpaste mouthwash most dental items and household things come to aboput .50 cents. Also Kmart just starting doing double and triple coupons up to 2.00 ladies that means 4 dollars off. They will be doing that every other month. My shopping trip to Kmart when I left they owed me money (which the just called it even) and I got 130 dollars worth of things. YEAH..its so much fun. Also if you go to quaker websites you can print the coupon for bites granola bars and such and then at frys grocery store its free. I live in AZ

I didn’t know how to get my name in the comment…my nameis Kelly-Rae I actually use couponsense.com they will give you a list of what is free and what coupon to use and its really detailed…like if you want milk…type in milk and it will show you what store is the cheapest…you can do that with every grocery item out there. I really like this site all you ldaies have great systems…by the way I wrote the comment above from anonymous…how to I get my name there….do I need to be a member?
[Reply]
I love your blog!
[Reply]
This was great! You were brave to go “live” but it was very beneficial for a new couponer to see an organization system that works. I am sure mine will be trial and error but I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. Thanks again. Quick question…There are so many sites on coupons. Do you make any income from your site? If so, I’ll keep you in my favorites.
[Reply]
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful as I am getting into couponing. I have a quick question…Do you make any income from your website? I was curious because there are so many websites. If so, I’ll keep you in my favorites. Thank you again.

I’m getting ready to go from an accordion file to a binder. Thanks so much for the look into yours. I love the comment about not needing the diapers much longer.
[Reply]
I enjoyed your video and method for saving coupons. Just one question..how do you keep up with expiration dates..do you clean out your binder weekly. My problem is that by the time I am ready to use the coupon it has expired! Bummer
Thanks. JuneM, Savannah, Ga.

Reading all the comments was interesting – how does one go about this in Australia? Any recommendations for websites?
[Reply]
Very nice binder, Im actually just getting started and decided to check out your website.
Thanks for the tips!
[Reply]
I would love for you to keep sharing your knowledge. My pastors wife told me about you and it was a blessing that she did. I am just getting started and I actually will be doing my 1st CVS challenge today! YEAH!! Thank you so much for your video. Can’t wait to see more.
