I can’t even begin to tell you how long I have spent on this project. I don’t actually use a coupon binder myself but I know I am in the minority on that and lots of you consider your binders part of the family.
When you are new to couponing, one of the big hurdles to overcome is simply getting everything sorted out and organized. So hopefully I can help! I spent a long time doing research and testing products and hopefully I have come up with a pretty decent custom coupon binder.
And I have 5 of them ready to go as a giveaway for five of you guys and I hope you like what I have pulled together! These binders are fully organized and even include a few complete coupon inserts so you are off to the races!
If you would like to win one custom binder filled with everything I think you need to get started using coupons (or move yourself up to the next level of using coupons) you have a few chances to win:
1. Just leave a comment below letting me know what system you use to organize your coupons. Do you have them in a nice binder already, an accordian file, envelopes, all crumbled up in the bottom of your purse? I was actually the latter of those selections until this weekend when I finally got through about a zillion coupons and now they are nicely organized. (whoot whoot!)
2. FOR A BONUS ENTRY: Just like My Frugal Adventures on Facebook. Easy peasy. Make sure to leave a SECOND comment letting me know we are friends!
AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO WIN:
You can share this giveaway on your Facebook wall. I have extra binders all set to go and if one of your friends likes My Frugal Adventures and wins the giveaway, you get a binder just for referring them!
To share this on your wall just look for the little blue f in a square at the bottom of this post. It looks like this:
Click that and this giveaway will post to your wall!
So good luck! I will pick a winner on Thursday at 7pm PST.
*Note: I know there are lots of male readers these days which is just awesome. So not to worry I have a choice of two colors in the binder for each winner. So you guys won’t be hauling around a bright pink binder unless you decide that’s the one you want.

I am still a beginner but I use a binder:)
I am currently only using envelopes. I have like 20 of them in my bag that I carry around just for coupons and shopping lists. I would love to upgrade to a binder.

I usually use and accordian file…
I currently use the envelope system, but envelopes wear out so easy not excited about the system maybe if I tried binders I would enjoy couponing more!!!! THanks
I liked your facebook page and posted your link on my wall!!
I am using a binder sytem but it is not really organized. I am sharing this with my facebook friends.
I had an accordion type holder until it disintegrated two weeks ago. Now just rubber-banded in purse. I also like you on FB.
This would be amazing! I don’t really have a system. I write the date on the inserts and throw them in a bin but they fall apart and are a mess
I would love to win a binder. right now I use envelopes and feel like I am drowning in a coupon mess. it makes couponing a nightmare but I haven’t had the time to make a binder and figure this whole couponing thing out
I use the envelope system. All pet coupons in one envelope etc.
I keep mine in a small accordion envelope. I have definitely outgrown it and would love a coupon binder.
I love the fact that I can see your posts on Facebook. You have great advice! Thanks so much

I use the envelope system but have been looking forward to the binder system and this looks great!!! 🙂
I an new to couponing and I use a card file that is easy to take along with me! But on the downside I have to sort through a stack to find the one I need.
I’m a freind on facebook.
I currently have a coupon drawer which is busting at the seams and am desperately looking for something better!
i also shared this on my fb page…. thanks for this wonderful oppertunity. https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=8906262
We’re friends on facebook.
I follow on facebook.
I have my coupons in a small accordian file, in a ziploc bag and in envelopes. lol Thanks for the chance!!
I’m a facebook fan! =)
I figure out week-to-week where I’m going and make a slot for each in my index size accordian file (from Target). One will be Rite Aid, CVS, HT, etc. 🙂
I use a binder but I also use separate envelopes for each store so I only need to carry those coupons with me.
I shared this on my facebook wall =) TY!
I am also a Facebook friend. I love a friend who helps me save money!

I already have friended MFA on FB>
I have no system. I keep the coupons in the flyer they came in from the newspaper.
I like My Frugal Adventure on Facebook
So glad we’re “friends” on facebook.
I am using a binder wih page protectors in it. I am trying to get it more organized so that it doesnt take me hrs at the store flipping and digging fo coupons that I may or may not hve. Once I find a coupon that I can use on the trip I put it into an accordian thing to have ready at the register.
I keep mine in one of those little accordion files from Staples or somewhere. It works, but it is annoying to get coupons in and out of and I can’t see them very well. I also procrastinate about filing them since it is such a pain and often end up at the store without the ones I need. The binder sounds heavenly!
I use a small organizer I bought at walmart. I was just thinking today i need a binder cause it was so full!
my organization is a manilla folder LOL with everythign thrown together and some in envolpes. a binder could really help me out . 🙂 and we are friends on FB 🙂
I shared this giveaway on Facebook so my friends can have an opportunity to win too!
I made my own fabric accordion coupon wallet that I keep in my purse 🙂
I’ve liked you on Facebook for a while now!
I right now am using an accordian plastic thing to keep my coupons in. Then I have an extra wallet I carry in my purse for food and other store coupons. I’m getting too many coupons and need to get them better organized so I’m planning on switching to a binder soon.
I currently use a small plastic shoe box that I have very organized. However, my couponing has grown and so has my collection of coupons. I’ve been considering moving up to the binder now for a few weeks. How awesome would it be to win this!
I am a follower on facebook
I use every system that you mentioned! I have a homemade version of a binder made out of an old date book organizer with some clear cellophane bags glued to the pages, all of which I had on hand. I also have an old makeup case which perfectly fits envelopes that I have labled with the various stores where I shop. As I find a deal that I have a coupon for I put them in the appropriate envelope and they live in my purse. It’s my second wallet. Near the end of the month I do an organization and put my soon to expire coupons in an expandable organizer that I got at the dollar store. Finally I dig to the bottom of my purse every once in a while to dig out the tear pad, ect. coupons that I collect while I’m shopping. I thought I was an extreme couponer the first time I used a BOGO coupon with a BOGO sale and got a candy bar for free! I now realize that I am just a (cheap) Frugal Couponer. I will admit that coupon management system -CMS- is battered and tattered and could use an upgrade.
