I think what's working for me best now is to simply toss Sunday's in folder (don't even bother clipping!) and when I'm getting my list together for the week's groceries, I'll browse online the weekly sale to see if there are things I'm out of, browse the Sunday folder to see if there are coupons for anything on my list, then go online and print out anything I buy regularly and need now (pullups). So far, this is saving my sense, and a few cents ;). I don't have the dedication to line up sales and BOGO offers too much, don't have the room to stockpile, and usually buy generic, but I'm still saving an average of 15$ a week, and take advantage of BOGO when I see them.
