We live a long way from town so I just get to go once a week. Because you don't know what kind of deal you will come across I cut each and every coupon. So needless to say I have a ton of coupons that I need to take with me. How you store your coupons really depends on you. There are so many methods but because you are the one that has to maintain it and be able to use it do what works for you.
Since I have so many coupons and such a limited time to shop I prefer the binder method. My Husband had to make me a binder after I split the zipper one the biggest one I could find.

So here it is. We went to Walmart and bought a CD/DVD binder. It holds like 250 Cd's. He took the rings out of 2 binders and attached them inside the CD binder. It is huge and weighs 5 pounds but it works! I have to admit I fell like everyone is looking at me when I carry this in the store but I just keep thinking if they could get they groceries almost free they would be jealous.

There is also the box method but because I am so clumsy I try not to take this in the store. I can just see me dropping this on the floor and what a mess that would make!
After I do all my cutting I sort them in here to file in the binder. It is easier for me if all the coupons are sorted out by categories.
This is a box to file pictures in with index card dividers.
I don't clip all of my coupons...just the ones I print from the internet. I, too, created a binder using baseball card pages. I store the various supplements in three-pronged folders. That way I save time and can easily refer to a particular supplement when hunting for a coupon. I blogged about my organizer.
