I'm kind of new also ( about 4 months ) but didnt do so well with the keep in tact method. Mainly b/c i would somehow always be in line trying to ring out and flustered I couldnt find what I needed.

I use a three ring binder with plastic baseball card covers. They are about two and half inches by 3inches and hold nine coupons per sheet. I label my inserts alphebetically by shopping row like Beverages, Canned, Cereal, Condiments, Cosmetics, Detergents, Dairy, Frozen, Snacks, Medicine, Paper, Pets, Misc. I also have a page for store Specific (like Fred Meyer and Safeway) and if I can double those witha manufactured cpn I store them together with the product facing out and up. That way when you are in the cereal line you can flip and see exactly what you have. One slot holds up to six or so duplicate coupons, but if I have that many i choose then to not clip and put in back seat of car....

I also have a three ring zip pouch where I keep my rainchecks, receipts I need to get corrected b/c someone rang them incorrectly, or for returns, a small pair of scissors and a pen.... these seem to come in handy a lot

hope that helps ! There are quite a few good plans out there, this just works for me. :P
good luck-
