I need organizing my coupons

[6_kids]

Hi I am consistently losing coupons or misplacing them, what is the best organizer out there AND what is the best filing system... by product, expiry date.... any and all feedback would be appreciated ......

i have them organized by category.( beauty, paper, cleaners, condiments, dairy, cereals, juice/pop, snacks, frozen goods) and then i have them set up based on how i shop at my favorite store going through the aisle. The organization method is totaly based on what works for you.

I find that just in sections like what fitzgirl does works for me. I bought a coupon accordean thing from Walmart for 3 bucks and it has an elastic that wraps it tight. When I am in that section of a store and I want to check my coupons I just got to that one section I dont have to flip threw all of them. I dont worrie about the exp. as I tend to go threw them enough that I can use or toss as needed!!

i have a binder with all the coupons I know I will use, sorted by aisle in the store - as for the coupons I trade they are in a box with dividers sorted the same way alphabetically - that way I know when trading or buying what section to go to

That's how I do mine and it works well.
