steps:
1. put dividers in binder(5) with a few of the baseball card protectors in
between.
2. at the end of each section add one page protector.
3. name each protector in the order of what you put on the checker.
     example: this is how i load my checker and how my book is set up
~first i put up the dry/can goods so there for that is the first section in my
      book
~then i put up the fridge items so that is the next tab
~after that i put freezer items so that is my third tab
~following that i put house hold items making that my fourth tab
~last to go up is misc. items making the last of my five tabs
~use folder pocket for current ad papers
4. the regular page protector is for over sized coupons.
5. use the paper for your list and put all tools in the pencil bag
