With so many ways to organize coupons, I wanted to go into detail on the system I use, and recommend.  I have tried every available system out there and this one works the best for me.  I can't tell you how many times, in the past, my coupons have ended up all over the grocery store parking lot due to dropping my filing system, or turning it upside down.  With the binder system, I no longer worry about hours of work down the drain.   I use 2 binders to store my coupons.  I use 1 for non-food items and the other for food items.  Theses make my shopping trips easier.  I can shop for my non-food items first, put that binder and my groceries away, then I can shop for my food items.  This way my food items aren't getting warm in my car.  The binders fill up quite fast.  One binder may be sufficient for your needs, try it out and see how it works.   what to purchase for your organizer:  (1) 3" zippered binder with inside pockets. 9-pocket baseball card holders. 3-pocket pages. self-stick divider tabs. zippered pencil pouch small scissors pen notebook small calculator colored construction paper small lined notebook/address book to use as a price book. sharpie marker. HOW TO MAKE & ORGANIZE YOUR BINDER: ****Most Important**** Write your name, address and phone number on the inside of the binder - that way if you lose it, or leave it in your cart, you have a good chance of someone returning it. You won't believe how much easier it is to shop & save money, by being organized! You can organize your binder in this fashion: zippered pencil pouch-place your scissors, calculator, pen, sharpie, and small notebook/address book inside. (1) 9-pocket baseball card holder-this is used for storing your store discount cards. (1) 3-pocket page-this will be for your refund forms that you're currently working on. (2) 9-pocket baseball card holders per each category-46 total.  I now use 4 per category. Seperate categories by adding self-stick dividers to the 1st 9-pocket holder in each category and label it with the name of the category. Color code your pages (categories) by placing different colored papers, cut to size, in each 9-pocket holder.  This allows you to use both sides of each pocket. Place your sales fliers in the inside pocket of the binder. Trim your coupons as close as possible & place in the baseball card holders.  Fold any coupons, in half, or 1/3's, that are too large for the pockets.  There won't be many, as most fit in the holders without folding. !!!! More Tips !!!! By using the baseball card holders, you can easily see what coupons you have and when they expire.   Keep your "like" coupons together.   For those of you whom are meticulous, your categories can be broken down further into subcategories, for example:  If you have an exuberant amount of coupons for baby items, you can divide them into diapers, baby wipes, bath products, etc. CATEGORIES YOU CAN USE TO SET UP YOUR BINDER: Baby Items Baking Items Beverages Canned Foods/Soups Cereals Cleaning Supplies Condiments Cosmetics Dairy Deodorants Facial Care (lotions/razors etc.) Feminine Products Frozen   Laundry Supplies Meats Medicines (OTC) Miscellaneous Oral Care Paper/Plastic Pasta/Rice/Seasonings Salad Ingredients Snacks Soaps/Body Washes Customize the list of categories above to suit your needs.  Whatever works for you is great!
