Organizing "other" coupons

[SettinSail]

Looking for a good method for organizing " other" coupons. I have a small (wallet size) accordion folder for my grocery coupons. This works well for me. It stays in my purse, I use coupons every grocery trip, I clip and file coupons regularly, keep them current and organized, etc.

The "other" coupons are from dry cleaners, restaurants, dept stores, Yankee Candle, Dicks, Ulta, etc etc etc. Some are not coupons but are business services that look interesting to me and I might want to use one day. Right now they are in a small pile on one end of my kitchen table. They are diff sizes, up to 8x11. Occasionally I will go through them to see what I have and throw the old ones out. I also tried keeping them in my car in a file folder that has a string around it. I am always forgetting them and missing a deal.

What do you guys do? TIA

I put them in my coupon binder in the front. But since you don't have a binder, organize it however it would benefit you. My Yankee Candle and Bath and Body works is in the mall, so maybe have a separate spot for Mall Coupons, another for area,...

I just use envelopes one marked restaurant coupons the other marked store coupons.

I have a binder with pocket dividers. I put fast food Qs in one, sit down restaurant Qs in another and stores specific Qs (B&BW, etc) in one another. I even have one for take out menus and one for rebate forms I might complete if I decide to buy the products. I keep it along with my Entertainment book and any other coupon books I might get (we have several monthly magazine type coupon books we receive in the mail) in a canvas reusable shopping bag. I can grab the bag if I am going out and we are not sure where we will end up - I hate going some place and realizing I have a Q at home!

We have a family binder, that I keep all that in. It also contains the kids pediatrician's number, the vet's info and shot records, the plumber's number, sport's schedules, copies of our insurance cards, take out menu's etc.. I created it after I had an emergency surgery and my mom had to rush to us and take over taking care of the kids wthout being able to talk to me- she didn't know where my daughter's preschool was / what days and times she went, but then I realized it would come in handy for me remembering things, and for the hubs when he handles one of the chores that are normally mine. That binder doesn't leave the house though ... I just pull out whatever coupon/offer when I'm going to use it.

Keep mine in a large reusable envelope in the car with any coupon books I have. Not really organized, but I also don't have so many coupons that I don't know what I have. Before I go into a store/mall/restaurant I'll look and see if I have any coupons.

I got a cute large vinyl accordion file at Walmart for about $5 that I keep in my van between the passenger seat in the console. I have one pocket for restaurants, one for retail stores, one for kids activities, etc. If I go to the mall I do have to think about if I need any specific coupons, but otherwise it's extremely convenient.
