I've been couponing for 9 months and I do the organizer system (the binder system didn't seem to be for me).

Beleive or not, I am using 2 rectangular sized tupperware containers. Measure's about 2inches high (about 1/3" envelope is above the lip of the container). One for grocery and one for non-grocery. I use #10 sized envies, and have an index card in each. Each card is listed with the coupons inside. (ex-milk/eggs/butter, cheese, yogurt, cereals, beverages, etc) (ex-make-up, shampoo/conditioner/skincare, Mens products, etc.)

I am currently riding 5 trains (4 weekly). I seem to have a "system" that works for me since I've starting riding 6 months ago.

First, I print all my addresses from Word (copy and pasted from PM's or emails), and list the train name at the top and the day they are mailed. Each week I write on the left side of the name the date I'm mailing to that week, on the right side I list who I'm getting from that week. I check mark when I mail and receive. When members are added I reprint a new list. I also enter my sender's addy in the "Trader Records" section (just in case I misplace my list). There is no tab that says "trains" (I choose RAOK), I enter all the info, including which train and rate my envies in the notes section.

Second, I print all my envies with addresses "with" bar codes on my computer (faster delivery). (what can I say, I use to be an executive assistant

Thirdly, I look at a person's WL and copy and paste it into a Word Doc about size 8 or 9. Print off, then check off the q's enclosed. I enclose the WL.

Fourth, I pull grocery q's 1st, non-grocery 2nd.

I also try and use a 6 3/4" envie and place 35-40 coupons (uses 1 stamp). And never seemed to arrive damaged.

To sort my train & insert coupons, I have small paper separators with the same name on them as the index cards. I lay these out on the table or floor (which ever is available ) I have even recruited my teens to help out when I get behind

I have a 6" x 9" expandable accordian type hand held file, with marked index tabs, I carry with me ALL the time

Sorry for the long post ~ I'm detail oriented
