Earlier this year I switched from a coupon binder to a coupon box. I picked up my box at Office Depot for about $9.99 – but it’s a big one, filling a lot of the baby seat in the cart. When I was at Target recently I spotted a nice box for $4.99, regular price. It’s a Super Stacker box and it’s a good size – it looked like it was intended to store DVDs, so take a look at one of those to see how deep it would be. They were in the office section at Target. Another great place to look is Big Lots.
You can also use an old shoe box, photo box or rubbermaid tote. Take a look around your house and see if you already have one that would meet your needs.

And if you’re headed to Target don’t forget to look at all the clearance deals we scoped out this week and the weekly ad deals (valid thru today)
What kind of box do you use to store your coupons?

Many years ago I used the Tupperware Ice cream holder (complete with handle). I was the perfect size, locked tight, water proof and indestructible, since the kids are gone I have used:make-up cases,etc, really hard to find the right size and something to slip in my purse. Actually today I made one out of denium, came out good. Since I have gone chemical free and more Green. I am careful what I put into my body, on my body and in my home. I no longer buy packaged foods, very few cleaning products and only “natural care for body, my coupon holder is kind of low.
But I am saving lots of money by getting back to basics and natural.

I used that box to make a coupon box. It is the perfect size. You can see my box on my blog.
