Some prefer the accordion style or pocket size organizers...whatever your style you MUST organize your coupons. Otherwise, clipping coupons will just be a stack of paper instead of a stack of cash. I have tried all sorts of ways to organize and carry my coupons and I have found the large binder to be the most effective way for me. I can bring most of my coupons with me this way and easily locate a coupon quickly. I currently use a 4” 3 ring binder with the baseball card holder inserts. You can purchase these inserts in the toy section of Target, 65 sheets for about $10. I've even noticed my dollar store carries them sometimes. Here is how I have my binder set up:

At home I keep duplicate inserts in a filing system – labeled which insert and dated. This way I don't have to clip every coupon I get. I can go and get a specific coupon in bulk when I know I need it.
