Ask:
I was just wondering how everyone else organizes their coupons??
Answer:
I have a friend that uses a binder to organize them all. I took her suggestion and kinda modified it for my needs, cuz I'm too cheap to buy a binder! I use envelopes and mark each one alphabetically. I put the coupon in each envolope based on what letter it starts with and sort them that way. I clean them up about once a month. I keep them all stored in a gallon ziplock bag with my grocery list and a pen.
Answer:
I have an expanding folder that I can take with me. There are dividers for dairy, cereal, beverages, frozen, snacks, helpers, pet food, cleaning, toiletries.
Answer:
I used to have a binder with clear photo page inserts, each "pocket" was a catergory but it drove me batty. Now I use two small expanding folder things, a bit bigger than an 3x5 notecard, I picked them up at the office store. I use one for food and one for household, HBA, petfood, cleaning, etc.
I can toss both of them in my purse if I want and made them different colors so I know what is what
Answer:
I use a coupon expandble folder, I got mine in the office section at Target however my label stickers are all starting to fall off. They do have premade labels but they were to general than I wanted.
Answer:
I use a plastic coupon organizer I bought at WalMart for $1.59. It has 16 sections, plenty of space for my needs.
Answer:
I have a clear plastic organizer that I got with my diaper bag (okay its really a fly-fishermans tackle bag, but it works and it was on final clearance ). It has 4 seperate envelopes with zipper tops attached by metal rings. I wrote Food, Other, Baby and Expires This Month on them in permanent marker. Also, I pull the coupons I'll use out after I've made my menu and grocery list, before I even get to the store. That way I won't be hassled or forget a coupon at the store.

That's what I use, I found it in the Target dollar bin section about 3 years ago!
Answer:
I, too use a plastic coupon organizer. I then separate my coupons into these catergories: breakfast/snacks, baking/sandwich, soups/mealhelpers, frozen food, ingredients, drinks, skin/hair/teeth, cleaning agents, plastics/napkins, medicines, dry products, baby. And within their categories, I sort them by date so that the ones expiring this month are in the front. Anal, huh? but it works for me.
I didn't even think of sorting them by alphabet. Good idea.
Answer:
I use a plastic expandable sectioned binder. I then can label the tabs myself.
