Today I clipped coupons (non-internet ones as my ‘net was down earlier) and put them in my coupon binder. I haven’t used my binder in almost a year now for reasons unknown. Maybe it got just too hard to keep updated? I don’t know. It was always a great organizational and money saving tool. I have coupon sections with tabs along with some baseball card type clear page protectors. I also have sections for “stores” such as Target or the Commissary (military grocery store).

Okay – so – we’re back … I’ll be adding more posts in the next …
