My New Coupon Binder!!!!!

06/02/2009 8:00 am · 36 comments

I few weeks ago I told you all I was going to have to go an a coupon diet, because I could no long close my coupon binder.  Well like most diets it works for a short time, but I failed.  I was still not able to zip my binder closed and it was bursting with coupons.  To see my old binder click here. Now I am sure my old binder would have worked great for me if I was still only getting 4 Sunday Papers but now that I get 6-10 inserts a week I have outgrown it FAST.  One of my readers told me I should check out a new binder from the company Case it.

case-itThis is the Mother of all coupon binders! We bought the 2-in-1 Dual Ring Adjustable Binder, priced at $26.99.  It has 2 sets of 3 ring binders in it, a 3 inch and a 1 1/2 in.  It has an adjustable spine that expands up to 5 inches. Handle with a shoulder strap, zips closed, pockets for everything you might need.  The best part is, it has two dividers ( in photo top right red and grey) they have a velcro strap on them that attached to the side so all the coupon inserts will not shift and stay put.  They are the best idea ever!!!  img_0810_2I was sorting my coupons early in the morning when the I heard a knock at the door.  I was handed a large package, It was a total suprise to me.  Matt had ordered it for me as a suprize for my Birthday.  I was so excited.  But I wanted to try it out for a few weeks to let you all know what I really think of it.  img_0815_2I can  say I LOVE IT!!!!!  It was only $26.99, which is almost what I paid for my smaller binder.  I wish I would have bought this one in the first place.  I now have all my food items on the 3 inch ring and I have all the non food items on the 1 1/2 inch ring.  I keep my money in the zipper pocket on the left and all my store cards on the right, and a pair of scissors in the zipper pocket.

img_0957Like I said before the best part is the little velcro straps on the side that keep everything in place.  I dropped it the other day and it all stayed put, which was SO nice.  Here is a link to the Case It web site….check it out, I am sure glad I did!

Diana Harris September 26, 2009 at 8:56 pm

Love your new binder and thank you for sharing. I’m just starting to put one together and I’m ordeing this one right away. Can you please let me know where you find the 3-pocket vinyl photo pages? I have looked everywhere and cannot find them.

Thank You

A Thrifty Mom September 26, 2009 at 10:18 pm

Diana I found them in the craft/photo section at walmart. But you can also find them at office supply stores.

anne September 26, 2009 at 6:21 pm

Thank you so much for sharing!
I am going to get one as well
thanks for all your ideas

Mylea September 26, 2009 at 3:37 pm

I just wanted to say that I absulutely love that picture of you. You are so beautiful! That binder looks awesome too.

Bonnie Stauffer September 26, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Can you post pictures showing how you put your coupons in.? What clear sheets are you talking about.? Would love to organize my mess of coupons. Right now I am spending hours sorting and re sorting coupons to try to find what I need from one store to the next.

Debbie September 26, 2009 at 12:15 pm

I started couponing 2 months ago and w4nt out to buy a binder. Thought i would stop at the thrift store first. Found one of these binders also in blue. I only paid $1.00 for it. Also they had dividers for $1.00 and slide holder pages (had to fold coupons smaller) for $1.00. I was so excited.

Diane August 2, 2009 at 8:09 pm

that was my thought exactly. I’m still adding pages so I’ll do that when I get done. Thanks. I enjoy your site so much. :)

Diane July 31, 2009 at 9:29 pm

I bought this binder and am trying to get use to it- lol but when I turn the pages, they slip out of the binder rings. Does this happen to you?

A Thrifty Mom July 31, 2009 at 10:02 pm

Yes I too have had trouble with the left side having the pages slip out so I just stuck a little tape around the rings and it works great, hope that helps

Karissa Patterson July 19, 2009 at 10:03 pm

Wouldn’t be nice if we just had a device like the “kindle” (spelling?) except for coupons? No need to clip or print…just down-load into your hand-held electronic couponer and then the store just scans it and ta-da…you use your coupons…I can dream can’t I?

Went to my local Staples (Alabama) yesterday and they carry the Case It brand binders but the also had several Staples brand binders in the clearance section for $2.50. This is my first attempt at using the binder for couponing so I went with the Staples brand for now. Will reward myself with the Case It if I keep up the good work. Just thought I would pass this deal along.

kasey June 3, 2009 at 12:56 pm

That is awesome. I bet the cashiers know you mean business when you have that case in your cart!! I love it.

Lisa June 3, 2009 at 9:51 am

This binder is like the Cadillac of the coupon organizer, I’m going to put it on my Christmas wish list! Thank you for sharing!

schwartz June 3, 2009 at 9:09 am

I am going to target on my lunch break to see if they have one…I am still using 2 accordion style folders and they have been amazing but I HATE having to leaf through them all at the store if I see a deal.
Thanks for the tip!

Allison June 3, 2009 at 6:55 am

Coincidentally, my coupon binder died this week. I purchased the same binder at Staples. They had a large selection of Case It binders. I paid $22 but used an Office Depot coupon.

Kymber June 3, 2009 at 12:24 am

oh…I think…no…I KNOW I need this. I am using my son’s old hand-me-down zippered binder and the zipper was ripping out of it when he had it, so it’s getting worse with me. Might as well get the “Granddaddy” of them all and get this size rather then a smaller one and then have to get this one later on. Purple though will be my choice of color!

Amanda June 2, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Just wanted to let you all know that I found “Case-It” sold at Target in the school supply section. I paid 18.00 for mine.
It is almost exactly the same only instead of one 3 inch ring section and one 1 1/2 inch ring section – this one has 2 sections that both have the 1 1/2 inch rings. This might be a better option for some who don’t have as many coupons. This still holds a MASSIVE amount as there are still two sections and it has the expandable pouch. This is also nice if you are not inclined to order off of the internet… and it’s a bit cheaper.

Erika June 2, 2009 at 1:43 pm

I found this exact binder at our local Target store for 18.99.

kathy June 2, 2009 at 1:34 pm

I love it!!!

I might have to buy myself one! Mine hasn’t zipped up in months!

The Frugal Muse June 2, 2009 at 1:24 pm

This looks like an awesome binder! So glad you found something that works perfect for you.

I just got a new binder as well and am in the process of switching over from the box/envelope system I’ve been using to the binder system.

Just got tired of my box spilling it’s contents all over the place…. and I had outgrown my current box so thought it was a good time to transition. Plus with the 50% off sales at Office Max, I was able to get the tab dividers and photo insert sheets at a great price!

Hollie June 2, 2009 at 12:59 pm

I love your binder, but don’t think I need something so large. Does anyone have the smaller version of this from case-it?

Jenna June 2, 2009 at 11:38 am

I think you just helped Case-It with a huge order surge! I ordered mine this morning as well. I haven’t been able to find one at WalMart that I like, but this one is perfect. Thanks for letting us know how you like yours!

Tara June 2, 2009 at 11:29 am

Oh my goodness, what a nice binder!
I just started couponing, my binder is no where near that size! I started off with a very small little file binder, and now I’ve moved up to a baseball card binder, which is a lot nicer and easier for me to see all my coupons!

Kristie June 2, 2009 at 11:14 am

I like it!
Your old binder looks a lot like my new binder. lol Thankfully I haven’t outgrown it- yet!
It’s going to get to the point that we need a wheelbarrow to take our coupons from store to store. Teehee.

Kelly June 2, 2009 at 10:19 am

I have been searching for a new system and just came across your site at the PERFECT time! My binder is busting its seems and just ordered this one. Can’t wait to get it! Thanks for the tip!

Bev Tank June 2, 2009 at 10:13 am

I just ordered one of these off ebay (it is mint green) and can’t wait to get it! It is the Case-It D500 dual ring. I too outgrew my black zipper binder from Walmart and have been using a heavy duty 4 inch binder I had at home. It is very sturdy but hard to carry around to all the stores!

Teri June 2, 2009 at 9:32 am

Very awesome binder. Major thanks for letting us know about it. I also got one for my Mom’s business. It will help us both out immensely.

Kim June 2, 2009 at 9:27 am

This is a great binder. I ordered mine today. This would also be great for a giveaway.

Kimberly June 2, 2009 at 8:31 am

Did this binder come with the clear pockets that you put your coupons in? I currently have (2) binders that I have my food coupons in, and my paper goods in the other…this looks absolutely fantastic!!!

Kimberly

A Thrifty Mom June 2, 2009 at 8:39 am

No I just switched all my clear sheets over from my other binder

Lauren June 2, 2009 at 8:27 am

I went to the site, but out of all their binders I wasn’t sure which one is the one you purchased. Does it have a name?

lanecreations June 2, 2009 at 8:24 am

I am so happy you bought this binder! I love mine too! The funny part is we both got blue, so I will see ya in Albertsons with matching binders. LOL

A Thrifty Mom June 2, 2009 at 8:40 am

If you see me at Albertsons make sure you say Hi
