One of the first rules in saving money is to be organized. I find that it is easiest to carry a small purse-size expanding file to keep my coupons in. I label each tab to correspond with the grocery store that I frequent the most. I think about the layout, where I begin my shopping and divide the tabs according to the layout of the store. For instance, I shop most often at Cub Foods. I labeled my 13 tabs to read: PRODUCE, MEAT, REFRIGERATED, BREAD, CONDIMENTS, CANNED, BOXED, SNACKS, BEVERAGES, HAIR/ORAL CARE, MEDICINE, PAPER/PLASTIC, LAUNDRY. You may need a file system that is larger or smaller, but this is definitely a great starting point.
