By catagory, or brand, expiration date?
I've not quite got the hang of it yet, but am making babysteps. Any tips would be appreciated.

Be sure and check on your local Dollar Tree for your Sunday editions - mine has the Jackson Sun (out of Jackson, TN) which is where I find my coupons and instead of the price being the usual $1.50, it's only a $1. Before I've even clipped a coupon, I've saved 50 cents. I generally buy 3 or 4 depending on how many coupon inserts are out that week. You can also see previews online as to what coupons are going to be in your Sunday inserts, so you can plan ahead.
Also, Walgreens and Family Dollar in my area, STACK coupons. Meaning they honor one of their coupons (in their coupon booklets or papers) AND a manufacturer coupon. In essence making it double couponing. My local Fred's and Kroger are the only ones who actually double coupons. Fred's on Saturdays and Krogers everyday, and both only double up to 60 cents.

Thank you so much for this info. Very helpful!
Now I can see how to better organize, and make it a more efficient process.
I'm still working on getting mine just right, and I sort by catagory. Basically the front section is health and beauty, next is cleaning products, then the food section and ending up with pet food. I have pages just for store-only coupons like Target, Walgreens and Family Dollar. And a clear folder in the front for my sale papers and store coupon booklets. I also keep a list of how each stores sales run, ex. starts on Sunday, ends on Saturday, so I don't miss anything.
