Well, it looks like I just couldn’t let you guys go too long before letting you all know how to save a ton of dough on CD/DVD storage solutions like cases or binders. I’ve tried little portable wallets that stored 100 discs but those sucked and cost like $9-15. I’ve tried 128 binders, which were good but they were about $15 each. Binders that stored 256 or so were about $15-20 or more.

While they store DVDs well, I really wanted to bring the cost down. Over the many years of computing you acquire a TON of discs, especially after burners and media became so cheap. Also you have to take into account all the music CDs and movies on DVD people buy over the years; so it’s safe to say the average joe will have a truckload of DVDs and CDs to organize and take care of and binders are the best way of doing so.

You can easily spend over $100 on just a few binders that won’t store many discs, which sucks. So how do you store your entire collection without it costing you an arm or a leg? Easy. Look for the biggest CD/DVD binder you can find for the cheapest price of course! Try to stick to a particular vendor that makes their binders of decent quality and a good price.

For me, I’ve found Supermediastore’s mammoth 520 CD/DVD binders to be fantastic! I often pick them up for usually $16 shipped when they have them on sale and have never run into a problem with the quality of their binders. For the price and the quantity, you really can’t do better. The binder pages are made well, the fabric backings won’t scratch your discs and the handle is thick and pretty strong so it shouldn’t break on you. There is even a tough clip-on shoulder harness for lugging them to a friend’s house.

The cost per DVD/CD is low with these suckers and their average price if you can’t wait for a sale are around $20-23 each. Just don’t pull the trigger if there’s no free shipping. We don’t want to get too excited saving money to toss some of that savings away, ok?

If you find a better deal, please share. So how do you store your CD/DVDs?
