I got the idea from you at the coupon class to have an accordion file, and also a hanging file box.  I clip one set of weekly inserts and put them in my accordion file, and I also file all my loose coupons (printed off the internet, peelies, tearpads, etc...) in the accordion file.  My flyers, extra inserts, coupon booklets, etc...I file in my hanging files by date and/or store.  Thanks for the idea :)  It has worked great for me.

I use a photo album. I put all my coupons in the slots, so that I can flip through and see them all in a matter of minutes.  To get even more organized, I brough page dividers and cut them so they fit in the photo album.  I labeled them with titles like dairy, frozen foods, households, ect. (probably have about 10 different catagories in mine).  I then bought a pencil pouch so that I would alway have a small calculator, pen and paper in there.  This has worked tremendously for me.. I tried the accordian file, but I don't like digging through there... So I just flip the pages till I find what I need...

I have a binder system with the baseball card holder inserts. I have dividers so that I can separate into catagories.I find that I like this system the best. I like having it where I can flip through and see my coupons. I also have a pencil pouch for pens , scissors and a small magnifing glass(so I can read some of that fine print).

I use a 3-ring binder with baseball card inserts.  My binder zips up so that on windy days I don't lose anything.  My coupons are separated into categories with plastic dividers.  I keep a pencil and calculator in the front pouch. During busy weeks when I don't get my coupons cut, I use a file system and put the entire sales ad in the file.  If I have multiple copies of the flier, I line the pages up and staple them so that when I'm ready to clip...I can clip several coupons at once. My first system allows me to be ready to find great deals at a moments notice.  The second method is purely a time saver and works well if you're only looking for specific items when you go to the store. I'm always experimenting to find the quickest, easiest method.
