We are giving away 2 Sisters of Savings Binders

The Sisters of Savings are giving away two coupon binders. Leave a comment and tell us why you deserve the binders and how it will help you stay organized. Two winners will be chosen. It won't hurt to include a funny story about losing a coupon or two because you can't stay organized or even how you look with all the envelopes in your basket.

I think you've created a system that might finally get my coupons organized :) I've tried everything and am usually stuck with a lunchbox type solution that never fits well in my grocery cart. On a couple of occasions I've entirely forgotten my coupon organizer in the grocery store, and once lost them entirely :( Weeding out expired coupons is my worst nightmare, but I believe this coupon binder could be a Godsend in solving that problem!

*Thanks* for the giveaway!

I would so greatly appreciate a coupon binder. I've recently become a stay-at-home-mom/wife. Though I've always been pretty frugal, cutting our spending budget down to match a one-income family has been challenging. My coupons have been in a standard binder with the coupons paper clipped together and I've dropped it on more than one occassion with coupons scattering on the grocery floors. My 8 yr old daughter constantly mentions how I need to get a new binder. One great outcome of our couponing has been our commitment to donate to charity. We'be been truly blessed and so we're passing on the blessings!

Well I just joined the Sisters of Savings buddy list last week and have shopped once since then and already saved 50% on my grocey's. I do want to THANK YOU very much, I wouldn't have been able to do it with out yall. Well now to get to the part were I really could use the binder. Right now my coupons are in a bowl, yes a bowl. I didn't have anything to put them into. I still went with coupons in hand , well almost. At this time I don't seem to be able to hold on to anything. I took a trip to the store where I droped half of the coupons in the car and then also in the store all over the floor and shopping cart what a mess! Did forget some too, but that was ok, I don't think I could have held on to any more! LOL Still all in all I did pretty good saving and droping!
Thank you for your time, God Bless and Have a Great Weekend!

I saw you on GMT and got so excited! I am the Coupon Queen of N.Central TX, and my kids know that if they are eating it, it was on sale and I probably used a coupon. I use an old recipe file box that I cleverly conceal in an old beach bag to hold my coupons. It sounds like your system would be much better. I love that you promote giving with all the savings you receive. Using coupons,there are so many free items you can get and DONATE! Love your website. I want a binder, please!!!!!!!!!!

I think this would be a coupon Godsend for me! I am a stay at home mom of a child with autism and ADHD who completely destroys my envelopes by trying to "help". I often clip coupons while my son plays at McDonald's and one time he so lovingly sneezed away 3 inserts worth! They flew everywhere! I need a better solution for my very busy lifestyle!

Thanks!

I would love to receive one of the Coupon Binders. I am a single mom with two daughters still at home(ages 9 and 13). I finally got accepted to nursing school, and will start Aug. 25, 2008. Due to the way classes and clinicals are scheduled, I will only be able to work 24 hours a week. I will be losing 12 hrs a week in pay, plus having to arrange after school care for my youngest. A coupon binder would be a big help with getting me organized, and helping to stretch my dollars. I had a small coupon binder when I lived in GA, but it dissappeared during my move to KY, 2 years ago. Since then, I've been using a recycled envelope. eradams05 at g mail dot com

I came by your website this morning, because while I was shopping with my "game" list ;-) I was in line behind two ladies using your system. We started comparing the systems, and they explained how they do it, the organization, SAVINGS, etc. I got so excited that I could save even more! I have a small photo album I use for coupons, and now I have so many they are busting out of the pockets and slipping out of my book. Winning one of these books would get me on my way to using your system!! I am a grandmother, have an in home daycare, have a sewing business and I sell Creative Memories. I stay busy, but I always find time for my coupons! I can't wait to get started on your system!!

I am a mother of seven little blessings and struggle to feed them. I do what I can with my little coupon book that I made from envelopes. Yes, I am usually found in the middle of the grocery store rummaging through these little envelopes with three children in the cart and at least two hanging on me. You know the one you steer clear of. That's me. I need help sisters!

I could truly use the coupon binder and would greatly appreciate it. I recently became a single income family. And now I can barely afford groceries let alone any other necessities. The first time I tried using coupons I had them in a ziploc bag and trust me that is very ineffective. I finally decided to join the sisters of savings in hopes that it could help me save money. I have cut down in all other aspects of my life (phone, cable, etc) and even got a second job. Now if only I could learn to save on my grocery bill and become organized in the process.

I would love 2 have one of your binders.I am at the present keeping my coupons in the small photo albums and I have 15 of them that I carry to the stores with me. I have had the worst luck with this system. Once a few weeks ago, I was shopping and had all of my coupon holders stacked in the basket, a kid ran by and bumped the basket, sending three of the books to the floor, where the coupons spilled out all over the place. It was such a mess, I just scooped them up and shoved them all in my purse. I have also lost entire books of coupons at the store before.

I would love to win won of these binders after reading your testimonials. My husband has been off work now for 2 months and is not expected to return to work until next march or april. I have a family of 6 and it is not cheap to feed them. I have applied for food stamps, but was only approved for $69 a month. I do clip coupons but I am bad about misplacing them. I think that if I had this type of binder it would make it a whole lot easier to stay organized and save a ton of money. Thanks, Rebecca

Your binder organizer system sounds really great! I live north of Denton and am trying hard to learn what I can from the web site. Allen is too far for me to drive. All Sisters of Savings members have been very informative on the special deals out there. I am going to be a first time grandmother and am putting two kids through college.... helping out with their grocery bill as much as possible. My tiny coupon organizer is starting to get larger than my purse! (not to mention the piles next to my bed where I work on trying to organize things. Winning the binder would be a blessing.

Thanks for the chance!

So I have seen ya'll on GMT and finally got the chance to visit your site!! I just began using coupons about a month ago. Not as easy as I thought it would be. It seemed to be going well till I visited one grocery store and I ended up leaving all my groceries at the register. I was soo confused, and there was a line of very impatient people, I felt red in the face so I left. The lady was trying to explain why I could use this coupon but not another. It's getting better. Anyway, my binder is my husbands old baseball card holder that I snuck away and I use his card folders to keep my coupons. And they are always falling out, and disappearing. And it's even worse when my toddler is around grabbing at it. I could really benefit from the binder you are giving way, so I can stay organized. And I plan on becoming a member soon so I can get the best use out my coupons to keep on saving money. Thank you.

Myself and my husband are struggling to make things better for our family. We are both in college full time and work full time. We also have two kids, that we try to keep active in sports. Neither one of us have the money for this, but we still try to find a way so that the kids have everything that they need. I know that there are a lot of people out there that are struggling to just make endsmeat and put food on the table, so I can understand. My background is hard to explain. I grew up in a very nice family, but during my first year in college I started to run with the wrong crowd. After fighting a addiction I was able to turn my life around and that is where I might my husband who had the same kind of fight. Both of us are trying to rebuild our lives from the damage that we did to it in the past and we are slowly getting there. It is hard, but that is one of the reasons why we believe a college degree is so important.
I am doing everything that I can to save money, but I don't feel like I am getting anywhere at the grocery store. I feel like that is where all of my money is lost at. I truly believe that your binders and seminars will help show me the light and set me on a good path to my end goal.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I would be forever grateful if you chose my family to win one of your binders. I'm a mother of four with two of them being newborn twin girls. We are a one income family now. I'm fortunate enough to get WIC which helps our family, but we are struggling to put food on the table for our kids. I currently keep my coupons in several zip lock baggies. As you can imagine I'm very busy with four kids much less newborn twins. I need anything and everything that can save me TIME and especially MONEY! I want to attend a seminar, but can't even afford that at the moment much less a binder. Please consider our family for your binder giveaway. Thanks so much.

I would love to get this system as now I just use a file box with envelopes that don't all fit, so I miss deals as I can't alway find what I need.
My husband would love me to get this so he could have his kitchen table top and part of the couch back from the remnants of "sorting" our coupons.
Help!!

misti said...

I often have to put things back at the register I have 4 kids me and my husband every thing costs so much i clip coupons from the paper i dont have a box or any thing so while standing at the check out i am droping them it takes forever it would be nice to have one less thing to worry about at the store!

Please....please....please put my name in the hat! I just learned about your wonderful program in the grocery store (maybe it was the fact that I was bent over trying to retrieve a coupon that had fallen out of my envelope, or the fact that I was impressed with someone who was so very organized with your wonderful binder) I don't know but I have a dream....and I just know that you can help me out!: )

Savings, discounts, coupons galore
So many she’d drop them, trip and fall on the floor
I need an extra hand or maybe even two more it would seem
To keep them all together and not loose a thing
Two coupons for bread, one for a show
This one, what it is, I really don’t know
Whatever it may be I can’t throw it away
It’s for $5 off, I might need it someday
Oh my, I gave the wrong one to the cashier
I jut can't keep up with all of them here
An organizer! That’s what I need to see
And of course all coupon clippers love stuff that’s free
So I ask the Sister’s of Savings, cause their giving one away
Oh to win it, that would make my day! :)

Dear sisters of savings,
You'd really get a kick out of my mom in a grocery store. Shes the one that stands slap in the middle of an aisle, handing out coupons to both my brother and me, and begging us to shuffle through them to find the one shes looking for, while other people manuver around her. Needless to say, 9 out of 10 times the coupon isnt there or its expired. (the look on her face when she finds this out is priceless) Shes a single mom, and the best mom anyone could ask for but gosh, she really needs help and my brother and I just dont know how to give it to her. I'm so tired of her makeshift coupon envelope, and spending countless hours sifting through them. To make matters worse, my brother is severely ADHD and practically swings from the aisles while shes trying to concentrate. (He's knocked over a few displays over the years... its super embarassing). But my point is, my mom is obsessed with your savings program and would love one of these binders... and trust me when I say, she deserves it. Shes done so much for us, now its her turn to get something in return.

My mom taught me about coupons when I first got married and I would tell my friends how I go to 3 or 4 store every shopping trip to get the best savings. I have used ziplocks bags, coupon organizers, and I even tried to make me a binder with coupons. I have coupons all over my house, my car, my husbands car. He tells me all the time you need to get something for these coupons because when we get to the store I never have the ones we need. I would appreciate a coupon binder!!
My family would too...Felica

Recently I've tried to do the coupon thing. It's been difficult because I have coupons stuck here and there. I've tried the cutesy organizer, but there is never enough sections. If my kids go to another part of the store and look for me later, all they have to do is follow the trail of coupons, I'm generally dropping them like Hansel and Grettel dropping bread crumbs. I get to the counter I might have half of my coupons! Help me pleeeeze!

I would love to get one of your coupon binders, I have a three year old daughter who loves to "help" mommy when it comes to grocery shopping and seeing me tote around a huge wooden box, (Yes, I said wooden box!!Its about 8 in by 10in by 4 inches deep! and heavy! digging through it to get coupons is a nightmare..and I love that my daughter wants to help,but with the box weighing about 8-10 lbs with all the stuff in it, I'm scared its going to hurt her if I let her help with it.. The binder would make it so much easier on me and give her the opportunity to help and when she gets a place of her own, maybe she will understand the importance of coupons.

I would LOVE the coupon binder. My current coupon holder is busting at the seams!! LOVE the $$ I save with coupons though=)

I used to live in a Dallas but before I got a chance to attend a seminar I relocated back to LA. I am working but my husband was laid off. I am trying to find new ways of cutting costs and the coupon binder would definitely help me get organized. I'm already a fanatic when it comes to being organized but dealing with the stresses of being the only income for my husband and 3 year old has kind of slowed my organizational skills. I've already told family members of SOS. I really hope that your movement comes to Louisiana. It would help out so many families from all walks of life. PLEASE CHOOSE ME for the binder!!

I SO need a coupon binder ... I have this huge inability to get my coupons organized to the point of actually being able to use them consistently. I cut and keep coupons, but my disorganization keeps me from utilizing them to get the deals I know are out there and I keep getting down on myself for not being able to get it together and do this for my family. I'm at SAHM and truly feel this is one of the only ways I can contribute right now to the financial situation of our family and possibly make an impending job-change situation for my husband less of a struggle for all us. I can't even tell you how many times I've told my kids no we can't get that b/c I have a coupon for it, then can't put my hands on it to actually follow-through with getting it for them. Your binder is just what I need to get my coupon/savings act together. Thanks so much for all your great tips and your wonderfully giving spirit!

Jewels said...

I think the binder would help me out a lot. My family and I moved up here in December. We were a two person income family. When we moved here I we decided that it would best if I stayed home. So I have become a stay at home mom. We found out in May that we are expecting. So...if I had the binder it would help me to save money for when the bundle of joy arrives. I have tried to clip coupons and tried to keep up with them but for some reason I just cant figure out how to organize them. Then when I think I have them just right I forget them all at home and end up not using anything. So the binder would really help me and family out.

Unknown said...

I could definitely use a coupon binder! I don't have a lot of extra time and money. I'm a house mom at Christ's Haven for Children in Keller. I have 6 kids total and I have 2 empty beds, so a potential for 2 more. I need to save as much money as possible, and I know they will go to good use! Right now I'm using a home made binder with some baseball card holders, but I don't have a good label system set up and sometimes my coupons drop out in the store. The kids get embarrassed and I seem so disorganized when I've spent so much time preparing. Your binder would definitel help in this area. I can tell you have a great system! God bless! and Thank you!

Would love the Coupon binder. I'm trying to juggle my coupons and my daughter's coupons. She was recently layed off her job. I am getting her into couponing. I really could use another binder to simplify things for us.

Thanks,

I am a teacher! What does that have to do with a free binder. Well, I want to start out couponing and saving money. I already spend enough on my classroom (I work at a charter school so I make ALOT less than public schools). I LOVE binders. I use them all the time in my class so when I hear free binder I have to go for it. Like I said I am just starting out but I want to start the right way and not get frustrated and quit before I get started. Thank you for having this contest and I sure hope you find it in your heart to pick little ol me!

I would absolutely LOVE to have SOS binder! I recently started Dave Ramsey program and I am now on a tight budget. I am a hairdresser with 4 children and don't make consistent money wrrkly so a budget is extremely hard for me. I cut coupons and put them in an envelope so when I go into the store I get so frustrated fumbling through them I just say forget it! Your binder would be an answered prayer for my children and I. Thanks for the opportunity! God Bless you guys. traciskach@gmail.com

MsLeslie said...

I have not been real faithful to coupons because it is a hastle to get to the store with them and not go crazy. However I have messed up my checkbook and am doing it this month out of necessity. I hope to continue as I learn more about it.

Tammy said...

I would love to have one of your binders. Im very unorganized, I clip my coupons and then when I get to the store I realize that I left them at home. With the way things are today we all need to save as much as we can. I heard your interview today on 103.7 and I'm so excited about your website and cant wait to get started. Thank you so much. My email is tmurley68@gmail.com.

I just heard about your Web site today through a co-worker after talking to her about my financial problems. She’s a big couponer so I turned to her for some help.

My husband had to stop working in February 2011 due to an old Army disability turning for the worst. I have one child left at home that we’re putting through college who is also disabled and has been since birth. We’ve been living on one income since February and it has been so hard making ends meet.

So to be totally honest, I could really use anything free at this point. I’ve wanted to start couponing so bad but I’ve been very frugal with money and have only buying what I think are the necessities. I’ve wanted to buy a binder so many times so I could start couponing but I’d talked myself out of buying one. I would be very thankful if I could receive a binder.

Thank you.
