I saw on another post (http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/walgreens-catalina-deals-register-rewards/239221-walgreen-eliminating-rr-program-too-3.html#post1775301) EshuBarakeno calls their coupon box the "ark of the covenant."
I call my coupon binder the "coupon bible"
What do you call your coupon stash, holder, folder, binder, box, ect :shrug7:

Ok...........for real now........
The one that we take into the store.......it is basically like a smaller accordion file with tabs on each section that list out the stores and then in the very front, it has a place for GC's /credit cards etc.......It is about 11" wide and about 6" tall
Anyways........we call it the "man purse" because we only have one car and my DH works in the town where all the stores are so he ends up doing a majority of the actual shopping.

I'm not very fancy with my coupons, just have a small plastic folder and a few envelopes and rebate forms and lists that I keep all together in a gallon size ziploc. So I call it simply my "coup baggie".

Oh dear, my kids started this- they call the q's poo-pons and the holder poo-pon books. Now when ever I see them move my notebooks I always say "hey don't mess with my poo-pons!" :biggrin:
Edited to add my kids are 16 and 18 but have great senses of humor!

I kept talking about needing a binder for coupons (and found an okay one at CVS on clearance last year but I need a zip one now!) and my youngest simply calls in 'coo-pon binner' (coupon binder, she's 2 and it sounds cute!). I also call it my friend, as in what do I need from you for this trip my friend. I only talk to it when my 2 year old is around because she thinks it's hilarious.

Lately I just call it a PITA, since I am working so many hours and 7 days a week to boot, I can never catch up on my coupon books or the binder. I have been couponing on the fly for the last 6 months and it is irritating me to no end!

LOL if my 11 m/o could talk she'd probably call it something similar. I have figured out a way for her to feel "involved" with the process so she won't rip it apart. I gave her one of the binder pages and some junk qs and she plays with them while I clip and sort. I have a pic saved on the comp of her holding my calculator in one hand and an ESR book in the other :giggle2: She also rides in a Snugli while I shop/coupon so she's already a lil couponer of sorts :biggrin: I need to find that pic and make it my avi it's so cute!
Edit: That pic should be my avi now :wavehi:

Mine is a box made by Sterilite. It's 4.5" high, 6" deep, and 7" wide. It has a hinged top and homemade dividers in it. It fits perfectly in the seat of any shopping cart.
My husband and I call it "The Football"...after the name of the briefcase that the Secret Security guy carries the launch codes in. It never leaves our sight!! And it's carefully handed from one of us to the other when we take the groceries from the cart to the trunk. I also carry a spiral notebook (the playbook) with my list for each store (my game plan).

HAHA... the football. Awesome!
I just call mine THE Binder. Or MY Binder. As in " Honey, have you seen My Binder?" " Honey, could you grab my Binder??"
Maybe I should start calling it " The Magic Book of Free" :giggle2:

Mine's full name is the Good Book. But usually it's just "will you go get my book out of the car?" God forbid I actually ever read a real book, my hubby would get so confused.

Little Red - zip around (if I could) coupon organizer that is divided by store name to keep all store specific coupons, ECBs, RRs, CRTs, extra "hot" coupons, and envelopes for all scenarios (with paper clips to clip printed scenario to the envelope).
Big Red - the bag that holds Little Red, all my weekly ads, wallet, re-usable shopping bag, cell phone, car keys, key ring with loyalty cards, paper, pen, calculator, etc.

My hubby calls my 2 binders "the bricks". They are pretty stuffed and he is always telling me if I ever get attacked I could kill someone with them because they are so big and heavy.

I have a zippered binder with baseball inserts. I probably have at least 60 pages of inserts, so it's my five pound "BABY," because it's been as much work as taking care of a newborn and it grows at about the same rate as a baby!! I'm thinking I need to find one of those binders that have two sets of rings and organize it even more.

OK, I haven't read all the way through this thread yet, but, I will chime in early, it is a little bit embarassing, my old binder that fell apart my Daughter named "Bob", then my whole family started calling him that.
When I got my new binder, I kept calling him Bob, but my daughter said he couldn't have the same "name". She had just watched this silly movie where all of this teenagers lies became true and happened in real life and he had told a lie that he was friends with Carmen Electra and that she was dislexic, so later in the movie, she presented him with a birthday cake and it said "Happy Birthday Sma" (his name was Sam", so she named my new binder "Sma", it stuck! :)
