Organizing all of those coupons!!!

There are several different methods in organizing those coupons. I try to keep with a system of getting my newspapers once a week, sorting and clipping (if not all of them about 70 percent of them. I save the inserts with the coupons I do not clip though. I use the binder method shown below.



I don't have a strict organizing tabbing method but I do sort my coupons by a few categories such as freebies, baby, household cleaning, condiments/canned/boxed, refrigerated items, drinks, snacks, misc.

I like this method because I put my coupons inside baseball card holders in a zipper binder and I am able to flip through them and see them as I shop around. I also have an accordian folder area in my binder for miscellaneous items, a area for my pens and scissors and my calculator. All of this comes in handy. You never know when you may need to do some quick calculating or cut something out.
