The method I use is the check file method. I have 3 check files with labeled tabs. You can label them according to your shopping needs and then insert your coupons into the appropriate sections.
My first check file is labeled with grocery items as follows:
- Snacks
- Air Freshener
- Baking Items
- Beverages
- Canned Goods
- Cereal
- Condiments
- Dairy
- Frozen Foods
- Meats
- Pasta/Rice
- Produce
- Salad Dressing
- Diapers
- Baby
- Cleaning Supplies
- Deodorant
- Facial Care (Razors, etc.)
- Feminine Hygene
- Hair
- Laundry
- Makeup
- Oral Care
- OTC Meds
- Paper/Plastic
- Soaps/Body Wash
- Mall Coupons
- Receipts
- Rebate Forms
- Entertainment
I hope this gets you on the road to organizing your coupons so you can save money!

Thanks for the info! How do you keep track of the coupons that are expiring soon? Mine always seem to expire before I use them because I forget or they get lost in the stack.
I don't really have any tried and true method of keeping track of the coupons that are about to expire. I just try to keep them at the front of each section and if they are really good coupons, such as free product coupons, I try to use them right away so I don't forget about them!
