Organizing Your Coupons - What Do You Do?

There are a lot of different systems that couponers use to get those coupons organized. Here are a few examples of successful methods:

1. Coupon Binder - Clipping all coupons and using a binder along with baseball card sleeves to organize coupons by product/section of a store.

2. Coupon Box - Clipping all coupons and using a plastic box to create a simple, inexpensive file system to organize the coupons. Small boxes can be picked up at the dollar store, and you can organize the coupons in small envelopes.

3. Filing by Insert - This method means that you file your entire coupon insert by date into a filing system, and clip your coupons as needed.

4. Hybrid Method - Cutting the coupons you know you will use and filing the others away in case you might need them.

What method(s) have you tried, and what do you find works best for you?

I'm a number 2 - crap! Wait, back up ...

I'm a plastic boxer :)

The box fits nicely into a tote bag that goes with me everywhere. I have a smaller "cozy" which is always in my purse for my immediate usage and items I want to check on. If I see a mega sale on something - I hop out to the truck and grab the envelope and head back in. Best of both worlds - a little extra exercise to get the deal. Yeehaw and little fishies!

Hybrid!

Coupons vary by region so I look through the inserts each week and clip those that I know I'll be using or that I might have trouble finding since they may not be listed in the coupon database when searching. Then I file the rest of each insert in a hanging folder file box in case I need coupons for deals that might pop up later :)
