Today I got a coupon book from Home Made Simple. In it contained $35 worth of P&G Coupons from brands like Cascade, Bounce, Bounty, Swiffer and more. Sign up is —> FREE <— so get moving before they run out.

My freebies are FINALLY starting to arrive. I got a Carefree liner sample with coupon and a Zantac sample with two high value coupons.

Here are some newer pictures of my binder. My stockpile of coupons has come a long way!

The little black binder ( small baseball card holder) is what I take with me when I shop. It fits nicely in my purse. I was using a mini accordion folder, but It was a pain in the arse. I would drop handfuls of coupons when I tried to pull just one out. The smaller binder is more organized and makes it easier to view and pull out what I need. I load it up before I go shopping, then I come home, I refile the coupons from the mini into the mega binder. 😛

The purple binder was purchased at Wal-Mart for $10. The baseball card inserts at Target, 30 for 4.98. (I got two) The mini baseball card holder was purchased at Wal-Mart for 4.98. Kind of pricey, but well worth it!
