Top 15 Hot Toys List for Christmas 2012

We start our Christmas Shopping December 26th, that being said it is about to get nuts! Time to start hunting down those must have toys for Santa to put under the tree. Christmas time gets crazy and those hot new toys will become scarce. Who wants to relive the LeapPad hunt we had last year? Not me.

Toys’R’Us has put out their 2012 Holiday Hot Toy List and is taking reservations for these items. You will have the option to reserve these toys at TRU if you choose to. I can tell you know I know several items that will be on my hunt list. Wheather you’re into reserving the toys and paying *gulp* full full price or you’re wanting to taken on the challenge of the hunt, keep in mind that Amazon can be your best friend.

Consider adding these items to your Amazon Wish List and watching the prices. You can sign up for Amazon Prime and enjoy the Two Day Shipping that comes along with it. As you know Amazon prices can be crazy low or ridiculously high. All depending on the demand for the item. You’ll see this with the first hot toy from Disney listed below.

If you’re planning to purchase from Toys’R’Us, you’ll want to check out the 2 Day Shipping Offer they have through ShopRunner. This operates pretty much the same as that of Amazon, however, you have the option of using this service through several other popular online retailers. Check it out HERE.

Aye! – “Why yes, I agree most heartily with everything you just said or did.”
Aye aye! – “I’ll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over.”
Arrr! – This one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. “Arrr!” can mean, variously, “yes,” “I agree,” “I’m happy,” “I’m enjoying this Diet Coke.”

Coupon Binder Photo Pages on Sale Today

Sep 4 by Paul Ivanovsky 4 Comments

Amazon today has a GREAT sale on the LONG photo/coupon pages for coupon binders. Most of you I am sure use baseball card holder pages, but these are AWESOME for the printable coupons!! Thanks Melissa for the heads up!

They are priced at $5.34 for 20 pages ( normally $24.95!) and will ship free with super saver shipping or Amazon Prime.

I get emails often asking if I sell coupon binders. YES in fact we are going to in October. Tiffany and I designed our very own, had it made the way we think is best for couponers, and should be the last one you will ever have to buy… Stay tuned!

Coupon Binder’s are, in my opinion the easiest way to organize you coupons. They also make it really easy to donate those expired coupons to the troops!

PUT YOUR NAME IN YOUR BINDER! Just incase you loose or forget it in the cart, make sure someone can get it back to you!

I use baseball card holders to store my coupons. I have a few clear CD pages in here but those are just in the back for really big coupons I can’t fold. I cut and put all my coupons in at one time.

These are the categories that I have in my binder.

First section:
Dairy
Sancks
Baking
Canned
Deli
Boxed
Frozen
Drinks
Cereal
Cleaning
Non-Food
Pets
Mom/Baby

Second Section:

Deodorant
Teeth
Shaving
Lotion
Shampoo
Make-Up
Pharmacy
Paper Products

Baseball Card Pages:
I get mine at Walmart, they are about 35 for $5.98. They are located in the front of the store by the baseball and Pokemon cards. Target has a bigger pack for about $15 but they are always sold out. I have heard that people get them at the Dollar Store but I have looked for a year and have never seen them.

Page Dividers:

Again, usually Walmart. Just make sure you don’t use the paper pages, they will tear in no time. Get the plastic pages. I used a label maker to label mine.

You can watch a video HERE of how Tiffany organizes her binder.

Places to buy supplies. I would estimate it to cost about $40 to put together a good binder.

Baseball Card Pages:
I use baseball card holder pages to store my coupons. I might have to fold them a little bit to get them to fit but I love being able to see everything that I have, and it makes it easy to pull out the expired ones! I get mine on Amazon because I need the thicker plastic to hold up longer. You can get them at Walmart, they are about 35 for $5.98. These pages at Walmart are cheaper quality and you will have to replace them after a while. They are located in the front of the store by the baseball and Pokemon cards. Target has a bigger pack for about $15 but they are always sold out. Go HERE to see the Pro Series for $14.99 on Amazon.

Page Dividers:
Use heavy duty ones, if they are the paper kind they will just tear, you need to use plastic.
Avery 8 Tab Plastic $3.00
Avery Big Tab pastic dividers $3.50

I used a label maker to label mine so they look nice 🙂

Page Dividers (another method):
If you would like FREE binder divider pages, you can go HERE and get some I made. The file is very big and will take a minute to download, but they are really cute! If you do it this way, slip these pages into sheet protectors and use these as your dividers!

Finally, I ALWAYS have copies of all the coupon policies of the stores in my area. Your stores will be different then mine. To find the ones that you need, just Google your store name and add “coupon policy” at the end. That should bring them up.

Last but not least I always keep a pair of scissors and a small calculator in my binder
