I am no longer frugal *sigh* I bought a pendaflex

[CerridwenLorelei]

file folder and some index tabs ( it had 26 and I needed 40) for my coupons
20 categories mine and 20 trade I have a TON of cleaning stuff and toiletries I told ds we are vain society lol

I came home and found out I already HAD some index tab sheets left over in my control journal.. ARRGGGHH

and I spent more than I should have on the pendaflex though I called three office supply stores and for the same price they only had 13 pockets

but the three index card boxes were getting difficult to use lol

What's a pendaflex?

[CerridwenLorelei]

its this briefcase looking thing

I call it a pendaflex but the label says expanding file.. lol
It looks like a briefcase and has index tabbed pockets to hold papers ( or in this case coupons, lists, stamps, index cards, dry erase board and marker etc etc) http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?...=0&y=0&An=text

Kind of like this except mine is hard plastic with see thru windows
I got it at Target .....

Can't you just return it to the store?

[CerridwenLorelei]

nope I already customized it

LOL

But dh told me not to worry about it and just consider it paid for out of some of the $$ I saved at the store. I did find a sturdier one ( the office guy didn't pay attention I guess when he was searching) that had one more pocket. If the plastic on this one breaks I will likely go get it

I have it set up

Coupon sections of ones I use
Coupon sections of ones I don't use which is the biggest side I want the 'things I use " to match the "things I don't use" LOL
Forms
Supplies-ie envelopes, address labels, index cards, scissors
Ads/Lists-here I have the ad inserts for the two stores I use , a dry erase posterboard sheet I cut to a little bigger to paper size
Trader lists/addresses ( only have one right now)
Issues of Refund mags

In the front I have a small velcro pouch that I keep the coupons I will use,
*might use*, a writing pen and dry erase pen and a few paper clips..
