I recently started using coupons again, and started back with a box about the size of a check file with all the cardboard spacers, neatly organized and was ready to shop. I kept watching the "Extreme Couponing" on TV and seems like everyone but me had a binder with coupons. Hmmm, I did have a bunch of baseball card pages and a few binders that I hadn't gotten around to organizing yet. I figured the baseball cards had been in boxes this long, what's a bit longer? lol So, revamp on the coupon organizing. But gee, it's so PLAIN! And actually hard to carry - I had a simple tote that I was putting it in and taking it out of (boy, that got old quick) so I decided it should have handles... and pizzazz... and pockets.... and maybe I could even secure it to some grocery carts..... And so, "Here Lizard, Lizard" is born!

Before - so unoriginal

After - I like!

Cover is quilted for softening edges

Great Idea!! I've just started couponing but this looks like it will make it easy to travel with. Will make me one in the near future.

You will be the envy of all the shoppers. Very nice.

great idea for those who coupon.

What a great idea. I will have to figure out how to make me one. I use the old fashion coupon box.

Have a blessed day.

Mine's not nearly as colorful as yours, and it's now been around the block a few times, too...

(And don't mind the messy coupons on top - the picture is from a day a couple months back where I had blogged about donating my expired coupons to military families overseas.)

That is such a neat idea. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's an awesome idea. I use a binder with sheet protectors for patterns I pull out of magazines. It works great and don't have to keep the entire magazine. I just keep what I want.

Oh oh oh!!!!! I am so a couponer!!!! And I love your notebook. Great idea! I showed my dh and he said he knows what I'm making next lol. I have sheet protectors that I sewed into four sections, instead of buying baseball card sheets. they work great for me :)
