This way I have the list right in front of the inserts. I aslo saved them on my computer so I dont even have to dig much. You just have to find your way around and find something that fits u best.

I also have folders for printables, blinkies, rebate forms and my receipts. That way when I need to find any anything, I know exactly where to find it. I print out my shopping list before each trip, and put all corresponding coupons in an envelope so I can hand the pile directly to the cashier.

The filing for me just isn't feasible because I am just not that organized and usually don't have the time to get stuff together to go to the grocery store. And the odds are pretty good that I will forget something. I started out using the 9 slot baseball card sheets and am going this weekend to pick up some with less/bigger slots so I don't have to waste time trimming them down to fit.

I use the binder for my online coupons I print and may not need right away, and file my Sunday coupons in an accordian file along with my magazines and store Qs. I use both methods.

I started out with the binder, too...I missed a week (it was our Anniversary in April and didn't want to spend the night cutting coupons)...then I got 'backed up' so now I file! ha!ha! How long do you keep each insert??
