So organization to begin coupon shopping is crucial to being successful.  Whether it is with a list and an envelope, coupon binder, coupon wallet or a coupon box always be prepared with your ad matchups and your list in hand.  I set up my binder a little differently then some but it works because if I need something specific I know exactly where to get it.  This is how I have my tab dividers set up in my coupon binder:
