MY Binder Folder.. steps to get a new one and get organized again
Posted 10-17-2008 at 09:56:36 AM by BabyBlissProducts
I lost my 3 inch binder, zip around folder packed full of all my coupons because for once im pretty updated, I lost it a few nights ago at Super Kmart in Indianapolis. SO now i am going to be creating a new folder and Iwill be sure to blog along the way the steps im taking.. first step, get over the the fact my trusty one with all my coupons is gone and not coming back....
Oct 17th..
Tomorrow im off to buy everything to create a new folder, will spend tomorrow night getting my new folder ready for SUnday insert coupons.
Todays thoughts:
*still upset noone has seen it..
*need to stop by cvs on the way to get my son from school to pick up printer paper, im out and i need to print out as many coupons as i can get me thru the next few weeks while i start building up coupons again.
*I posted in the Kmart forum about my missing folder incase someone found it, I have had people private msg me asking if they can send me some couposn, GOSH i love HCW.. great people that let you know some people do know what it means to loose a folder and feel my pain. I am being as positive as I can and trying to look at the good of loosing my folder.
*positive thoughts not working
Ok, will post again later :)

So sorry!! I just started and would be devastated to lose my coupons so I can't even imagine losing them once I actually had some and knew what I was doing!!Posted 10-17-2008 at 11:46:08 AM by FreckleTown

Saturday 18th, Trip to OfficeMax to buy supplies for NEW folder, on washington st in indianpolis
My shopping list..
2 x 5 tabs index for binder came with three sets in a pack $3.29 a pack
1 x 3 inch zip around binder ON CLEARANCE for $8.50 (great price i paid nearly $25 for my last one!!!!
9 x 10pk of baseball card holders $3.49 (way over priced but being that i would pay way too much in gas to go find another store I paid for them)
1 x keyring calculator on clearance for .50c (it was super cute and Im always using a calculator in the stores to figure out my deals, so worth .50c)
Tax $3.29
Total paid $50.28
Completed supplies for binder.. priceless
Will make some dinner and get it all together,
I came online and had a bunch of msgs from people on HCW that want to send a RAOK... You all rock.
Thats why i send all my friends to HCW to learn about coupons.Posted 10-18-2008 at 03:32:05 PM by BabyBlissProducts - You're on your way to being back in no time
That keyring calculator sounds like a great buy too, esp. for 50 cents!! Posted 10-18-2008 at 07:07:52 PM by mommaof2kiddos - SO I got my folder all set up, binders index in place, baseball card holders in place, but need to buy more of those.

dog needs (i have a dog so I only file the dog food/snacks stuff, you could even just put "pet needs"
misc non foods (for like batteries ect.)
I need to add a few more tabs, for over the counter like pain relief, also i want a soda section. I will buy one more set of tabs wheni got to cvs next, use my extra care bucks they are only $1.25 for a one set of 5 tabs there.
I have a small one inch binder i use to store pet foods i dont use, over the counter stuff i never use, and for cvs stuff, i only ever keep that stuff incase there is some deal at cvs i can use them on, also i store my eating out and entertainment coupons in that folder, so i keep it i n my car for "just incase folder" heheh. Oh if only i had lost that folder, it has the thing syou will never use but best to keep aroun just incase
anyway thankfully everyone has been so nice on sending me coupons that i have a pretty good regular folder going again now. It is completely as up to date as it can be, and I and lookign out every where for tear pads, peelies now. So I am well on my way back to getting it all back to normal, I can honestly say I wouldnt have got it as nicely with coupons if people had not given me so many good coupons... ty everyone. That was awesome. I am not needing any more RAOK.. but iwill be sure to send out my share of them in the near future once I have spares again. i love sending out RAOK stuff, I will get there very soon again. Im surprised how fast i was able to get it all together, I guess I cant function with out it so I really HAD to get a new folder. Posted 10-23-2008 at 01:56:16 PM by BabyBlissProducts - oh i did call super k mart again, still no folder. lol I am pretty sure its long gone now. But I can say my folder now has made me feel so much better and I am glad I have great coupon buddies that pitched in to help me out. It wasnt something you all had to do, but did, and it was very much appreciated. God Bless, LOVE YAS!Posted 10-23-2008 at 02:05:42 PM by BabyBlissProducts
- Today I was sorting coupons, I got all you mag, and i have been searching out tearpads, blinkies, peelies in the stores like crazy, i have been looking so hard that I found the new kleenex tissues at krogers coupon.. ok maybe not new to everyone but new to me!!!! they were in the back of a booklet I found at the pharmacy.. I also found bc peelies, and a ton of blinkies, I have my son even on the blinkie watch. He is doing wonderful, he stood at the dannon active blinkie machine tonight getting all his $1/1 4pack coupons, I use them at walmart, they sell them cheaper there, so we are now stocking up real nicely, I had no idea it would tak eme this little time to get built up on my coupons again. It for sure has to do with my friends here at hcw that sent me great envies as raok, and my hunts in stores, gas stations, drug stores.. oh I have been doing so well, I think now the coupons I have are better than the ones I had in my folder!!! I did real good at krogers tonight, so I feel like myself again.. ((HUGS))Posted 10-24-2008 at 08:17:22 PM by BabyBlissProducts
