Thanks!  | If your open to a binder, Big Lots has 3" zippered binders (Mead/Five Star brand) for $7.. The night before I found that I searched online everywhere and couldn't find one that big with a zipper.. I almost ordered one on ebay for close to $20. I am loving the one from Big Lots, it has pockets on the inside for whatever you can imagine putting in there. Very sturdy. |

| re: Organizing Your "Carry To Store" Coupons Wow, I am really impressed by how well organized some of you are. Here's a tip for those of you who are busy/lazy like me and don't like to clip entire inserts. I just pull out my entire insert and put it in a drawer, placing the new one on top of the stack. They are ordered by date this way, and I use the boards and the coupon database to figure out which coupons (from which inserts) go with that week's sales.
When it's time to shop, I use the date printed on the insert to find the one I want, and clip only the coupons for the items on my list. The drawback is that this method doesn't work for spontaneous couponing like when you see a good clearance deal. The upside is that now I dont' feel like a failure for letting weeks of coupons pile up without clipping them. :)

thx | i only put one coupon/multiples of the same coupon in one slot only using one side of the sheet. If the coupon is too large and I have to fold it, I try to fold it such that I can see the experation date on one side or the other. That way I don't have to pull them out to check experations.
I also buy 6 papers per week, so I don't have a lot of extra room in my slots.
