Apr 03, 2011 17:05

I have been carrying my coupons to the grocery store in a plain paper envelope. After a few weeks, the envelope gets worn beyond usefulness and I replace it with a new envelope. I have looked for a coupon caddy - on ebay, etsy, in stores - and have not found one that I like or am willing to part with some bucks for. I haven't been happy about ( Read more... )

Ahahahaha, this is such a great story. Especially the untold part: how Sir Braver thought you had bought a professionally made coupon caddy and did not realize that he was missing a chunk of his dungarees.

It would unnerve me to spend money to hold the things that are supposed to be saving money. But then, I have had an issue with that for a long time, which is why I don't buy the children piggy banks.

I just bought this (http://www.amazon.com/Smead-Ultracolor-Expanding-Pockets-70876/dp/B0006HV79A/ref=sr_1_9?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1301953250&sr=1-9) at Office Depot - or something very similar. Cost was $5.29. I haven't tried it out yet.
