Paper Mache Counter Tops

Yesterday I spent hours clipping and organizing my coupons. It got a little tedious, so I left the rest of the Q's out on the counter and started cleaning out the freezer instead.
At one of Darren's conventions, he received one of those mugs that have the liquid inside them {that you freeze and it keeps the beverage cold}. In big letters on the side of it, it says, "BEER BUST." I didn't want people thinking we drank beer, so I set it out on the counter to be thrown away.
I got distracted again and came back later to find all my coupons glued in a paper mache mess on my counter top. Yes, the beer mug had it's revenge. There was a crack in it, and as the liquid inside melted, so did my coupons. I tried to salvage as many as I could, drying them out on my baking rack and paper plates.
I think I deserve the "El Cheap-o" award today, don't you think?

How do you organize your coupons? Just curious. I use baseball card holders and a binder and do it by aisle in the grocery store....but I am always up for ideas.

Alphabetized in baseball card pages:)

Hmm, do you bring your binder with you to the stores? I keep going back and forth between what is easier...alphabetized or by section (dairy, canned, etc)

I pull them out before I go to the store. I just print the list from thegrocerygame.com.
