A Savvy Tip - Coupon Binder Shopping Cart Trick

Couponers frequently ask me where I keep my binder in the shopping cart when I'm at the store.  It's always been second nature to me to keep it propped open over the baby seat so I have easy and instant access to my coupons.  But, as I shopped Saturday night and watched several savvy shoppers try to wrangle their binders from various positions in their cart I thought maybe I would share this tip with you all. It seems rather silly, but maybe it will help some of you keep your misbehaving binders under control!  Plus, I've seen a few websites selling gadgets to hold coupon binders in shopping cart seats and who wants to pay for something that's free!?! (This obviously only works when you can shop without the kiddos!  When I have my toddler with me I keep my binder open in the front of the basket.)

Latch the baby seat belt clip around the center leg 
hole post for the perfect binder carrier!


And voila!  The shopping card cradles my coupons from falling and I can easily flip the pages and find anything I need - especially any coupons I might have for unadvertised sale or clearance items!

  6. My sister showed me this a couple weeks ago. She had seen it here. I wish I would have read this a long time ago! I get frustrated really easily (not that I try to, I have extreme anxiety), and I hated dealing with my binder falling off all the time. THANKS! :)

  7. Never thought of that. I always have to adjust my purse to sit just right to hold it up. Thanks for the tip.
