How many coupon binders is too many coupon binders?

I have a pouch and need to upgrade to a binder. But 8 is a bit ridiculous. I can understand having a separate pouch or binder for trading coupons itself, as of now I have an envelope, and I post on my facebook or another's facebook asking if they need this or that coupon. I don't know the full details as to what the 8 binders had in them...

Yesterday somebody told me they use binders for their upcs, box tops and labels for education. This maybe the reason she has so many binders. I even saw a photo of her proof binder.

Perhaps. After all I wasn't there to ask.

I agree with you and good question! I mean I have a small pouch and I have to stop and check if I think I have a coupon for something, or make sure I am getting what I am supposed to on the coupon. I use an average of 8 coupons most of the time, I couldn't see myself using so many to need 8 binders! It'd turn what could just be 20 minutes of shopping into 3 hours!

I am considering doing this, as I get lots of Ralph's Coupons in the mail and they are only good at one store in my area. Also the blinkie machine coupons are the same way. Also the machine that prints at the checkout has been printing a lot of K-mart only coupons.

Okay well this I can see doing, small binders, say two inches for each store. Like Walgreens and CVS. But for a normal grocery store trip, it's ridiculous.

"It does not really matter"? Try telling that to... A) The person who seems to somehow always be behind them in each aisle having to ask them to move over, or try to inch past them as they look through the coupon binders. B) The people waiting in line behind them who has to wait for the cashier to scan coupons, get over-rides or go get the correct item for the coupon. C) The cashier who has to explain to them WHY that coupon won't work, or perhaps hear them get moody over it. D) The other couponers this person ruins it for. There are guidelines in place for coupons and the more SOME couponers try to bend the rules, the more strict the rules become. I am a couponer, but with that being said you aren't going to see me with 8 coupon binders and making it harder for everyone else.

Dominque- I am not even sure how they would either. Now I think binders like that are around $25.00 if not more. Add the sleeves, a pouch for pens, pencils, a calculator... It adds up fast. Multiply that by 8, it gets ridiculous in price. Not to mention that she can only use so many coupons per transaction. Sure people go out, come back in, use multiple store cards. It's not allowed, it's against company policy but we (as cashiers) can't really say anything about it.

I have just a pouch right now. If I see a coupon I won't use but someone I know will I give it to them, just set it to the side and put in an envelope. I've given someone a coupon at walmart before because they had something that I had a coupon for and wouldn't be using. 20 folders and binders? that's ridiculous. I'm sorry I am not going to spend more then a few hours each week and it has to be a very good coupon week for me to even make the time of day.

I have seen the same thing at coupon swap meets and its hard to imagine carrying around that many coupons today. I know when my daughter was small we used a lot of coupons. Today I buy for 2 people makes a big difference.
