I use a buisness card binder, organize by household, baby, kitchen ect and then by date.

Baseball card ones hold 9 x save.ca coupons. If I get a chance I will try to take a picture and show you all. It really really works well if you are a serious coupon clipper and far to big to forget in a store. LOL. I also have Lil jj go through the coupons and highlight the expiry dates. Yes right on the coupon. A different colour for each month. Blue for Sept- Orange for October-Yellow for November and Pink for December. This way if you just glance through you can see if is still good. Once an month go through and throw out any that are unused simply by looking for that colour. My admit It took Liljj an I a while to develop the whole concept but really worth it in the end. Just cut them out , highlight the expiry and put them in the right section of the binder. And duplicated coupons just slide in underneath the original one. Hope this idea helps some of the more serious coupon addicted people out there. Promise to post a pic sometime this week.

Great idea to highlight the expire date! I'll use that one. I got a photo album with sleeves and just put them in there, separated by category..food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, rain cheques, etc.

ooh I never thought of that! That might work better for me as I organize by 'breads', 'frozen', fridge, and usually end up finding expired coupons that I could have used.
