ways to organize your coupons

There are several ways to organize your coupons. 

1. Keep the inserts together and write the Sunday date on it..
With this option you can put them in a file folders, page protectors and put in a binder. No cutting until you need that coupon.
2. Baseball holders put in a binder and put it by sections of the layout of the store. You would cut all of your coupons out.
3. In a shoe box type box with sections or ABC order.  You would cut all your coupons out.

You do not want your coupons just laying around with out some sort of order.  Don't be afraid to try different ways of keeping your coupons.   I have tried all of these.  The one I use know is the page protectors with a binder.  I put each page in a page protector but I keep them in sections by redplum, smartsource, and P & G and then have the Sunday date on it.  There are websites that I use to get a list of what is on sale at each store and it tells me which coupons that are out there for it.  So I know where to look for that coupon and don't have to go searching for it.  The next best one I like is if I had alot of time to go shopping and look for clearance deals or unadvertisement deals is the shoe box method.  I have tried the baseball cards and always ending up quiting because it seems like to much work and you have to fold your coupons.  With folding the coupons you can't always see the product or the expiration date.  Some people like this option though.  You have to figure out what is best for you.  My biggest problem with keeping coupons is if you don't cut them all out and what until you know you are going to need them for the shopping trip you are fixing to do.  You cut them out and then when you get to the store they are out of the products so now you have loose coupons.  What do you do with them then?  You can keep them in a small file folder and put them in sections or what I am doing know is I don't cut them out until I get to the store and see that they have the item.

I hope this helps someone to organize their coupons and not to be afraid to try different ways.
