The surveys take up half a day (I signed up to a number...

bucklord I agree with you mostly. I still do some surveys, but I have dropped a lot of survey companies that I used to deal with because I wasted a lot of time on surveys and being disqualified before completion. There are a couple I do that pay me in my Paypal account...

bucklord That is definitely why I went with the notebook binder. I have alphabetized dividers and plastic sheets that normally hold nine sports cards each. I got the plastic sheets from a collector's hobby shop. That way if you need more capacity, you add more sheets....

bucklord It is unusual not to have inserts in the newspaper, but it does occasionally happen. When I go to the store to purchase the paper I always look through them first to make sure there are inserts. In the last six months there have only been one or two occasions...

After...

bucklord I can help you out with this one. I would tell you first to get organized. I have a binder with sheets that people normally put baseball, football or other sports cards in. I just put coupons in the slots instead. Each sheet has nine slots. I then have letter...
